QFT. damage is done already. Props for Anet for doing something about it, though.

ugh, I couldn't care less about the farming, but there goes my ele runner

kostolomac · Jul 02, 2008, 08:51 PM // 20:51

Does the new SF affect damage from hexes like [Empathy]? If no , and even if it's a yes I can still farm my lovely Yammiron

Won't Shadow Form assassins just move to Tomb of Primeval Kings, for some easy Banished Dream Rider farming?

AOD_EaSyKiLL · Jul 02, 2008, 08:51 PM // 20:51

If the -50% damage covers melee damage too, then that is a huge nerf. It nerfs more than UW, it will just about nerf Boss farming and any other things other than running.

That nerf is harsh enough to warrant removing the health loss or even to buff SF to be maintained by only Deadly Paradox.

Koricen · Jul 02, 2008, 08:53 PM // 20:53

I can't believe it happened, atleast so soon..

I think the 50% only effects the Chaos plains monsters mentioned.

Except:

- There's a much lower chance of getting ecto
- It takes a while to play enough to get rid of the overfarming code - stages 3 and 4have the most drops but take about 40 mins to get to.

I'm not really that bothered about this change. I can still get my cartog. titles, still run people easily, and still farm places where there are so many enemies, Sliver Armor will still kill quickly (monolith temple, raptors, ice floe, vermin, etc)

The point isnt to remove them altogether. Just slow them down or limit the areas they can farm.

Evilreintje · Jul 02, 2008, 08:57 PM // 20:57

soon? not really, atleast 2 weeks of braindead ecto farming in uw x] I don't think they should've nerfed SF tbh, just nerf Glyph of Swiftness to non ecnhantments only, or Elementalist spells only. This kills A/E solo for UW, all they did now is make a slower UW HM farm with 6 ursans and 2 monks zzz they should nerf Ursan aswell if they are going to keep this -.-

Larcen · Jul 02, 2008, 09:00 PM // 21:00

This also kills off the typical Terra farmer too doesn't it? If disenchant hits Ob. flesh, run is over. Course I could be wrong. I've been wrong before, will be wrong again.

kvndoom · Jul 02, 2008, 09:05 PM // 21:05

I really really hope this isn't the only skill update Anet could muster for a whole month. As lousy a a state as PVP is in, I really hope there's more coming than just a pacifier for the ecto QQ crowd.

It says:

[shadow form]

now reduces the damage dealt by the caster by 50% while active.

This is intended to slow down killing while under the effects of Shadow Form. We recognize that this does not affect killing by Health degeneration. That is primarily being addressed through the creature changes listed below.

I take that to mean:

caster = the person casting Shadow Form

damage = any skill that does damage (98% of all non healing skills) and weapons

-50% = alot of a fudging nerf

Does not effect degen = we wish we could include degen in the nerf, but it tecnically doesnt cause damage, so we cant factor for it

Now, if EBSoH still adds full damage, there is some potential to farm still, but dagger builds are out of the question. DP already disables them for a while, then you add the fact you only can carry 3-4, then cut that damage in half, that means no SF dagger farming. Sliver would be the only way.

Nessar · Jul 02, 2008, 09:07 PM // 21:07

Daaaamn nice job anet

Is Ursan next...? o:

Lector G · Jul 02, 2008, 09:07 PM // 21:07

O.O ectos are back at 4.5k at the trader already lol YAY

The Meth · Jul 02, 2008, 09:08 PM // 21:08

Anet finally nerfing imba PvE stuff?

This is madness...

AscalonWarrior · Jul 02, 2008, 09:10 PM // 21:10
