Well since the patch went live my Elec/Rad farmer kills so slow.  Is there another option to AFK farming?

"Crush AFK farming" I heard the devs were making t-shirts.

Yes. Lots, in fact.

Personally at the moment I'd go with a RadM/Stone Brute for maximum efficiency... but AFK Farming has never really been about generating bleeding edge inf/hour.

Hey, I'd buy one... 😛

Doesn't afk farming work by dealing out lots of small bits of damage to large numbers of mobs?  The change to damage on mobs over the normal cap greatly lowers the effectiveness of that approach.  It's just going to take a lot longer.  And that's not power specific, it affects all tankers.

 

And yeah, this shifts things back in the Brute's favor for some stuff.  I'd imagine that's one of them.

I can vouch for the rad melee/stone armor brute listed above.  I multi-box 3 of those on torchbearer.  The thing about AFK farmers, is if you're going to do that, then you should do at least 3 of them.  I bet there's people here who do a lot more than 3.

So technically the best buck for your bang is probably running 2 AFK Farmers and one Active Farmer, whilst you're waiting for your buy-it-now AH listings to sell.

 

In practice? Just play the game. (Though I'll sometimes have 1-2 AFK farmers going in the background whilst I actually play the game on my main account...)

This all is in large part of why I shifted to auction house manipulation/sales for inf and I just use my farmers (active) for power leveling new toons to 26.  Chasing what AFK farmers currently work was kind of tiring.  Selling crafted IO's takes about 15-20 minutes of my play time and it passively gets me more than enough to support my alt-aholicism.
