My ele didn't need to change one single farming build. Spectral Vaettir build, Jaya Bluffs feather farm, raptor farm, GoK undead farm, hulkie farm, etc., etc. All still work just fine, without a single skill needing replacement. And the spirit-spam build my ele uses to solo farm for Nick also works fine without a single change.

So, what's left to me is all farming builds I used before "the worst skill update ever". Boo-hoo. Pity me.

The mods will even tell you to go to PvX wiki. This is not the place for asking for builds.

Translated - I am to lazy to test or not creative enough to come up with something myself

But to answer the OP

Lets see whats left
55, SF, 600/smite, OF, VWK, etc. All that is required is a little creativity.

Some post nerf times I am aware of
Foundry clear 600/smite - sub 40
DoA Clear - SF tanks sub 50 min
UWSC - I know is being done not sure the times though
FoWSC - being done under 1 conset but is much trickier
Urgoz/Deep - around 1 conset + b/u
Feather farms are there
OF farming with ele is now quicker as movement penalty went away
SF/sliver farming still just a viable as it was before

the was a well thought out nerf that managed to address the issue of SF and 600/smite being overpowered while not smiter booning it out of existence.

Just to put this in perspective I am a farmer and love do SCs. I think this give us a chance to try out new team builds and add variety to what is out there. I've done all sorts of SCs, 600/smite farms, and solo farming

Dude as far as i see it Spirit spam is still useable...I still farm underworld with a 2 man rit team, Make a 3rd rit cover SoS incase yours die, and add EoE and a res and you have yourself a descent UW farm, just not a clear.

I came up with a dervish tank farm, i collabed a descent D/W+P/W raptor farm build

Just use your heads...As for now im staying away from wiki with anything that may be good >__> i dont want my dervish to start getting nerfhammered, nor my rit.
