Found the Queen out in the desert. She's surrounded by a nice group of Scarab Nest Builders, who just sit around the boss scarab, setting traps. Thom and Stefan ran to fight the first scarab, and died in about 5 seconds from the stacked traps.

The Monk boss is pretty whimpy, it has Mark of Protection, but no other real healing skills, as it's a protection Monk boss.

So I for one am glad they finally fixed this.
exactly, it made iway seem a lot more unbalanced then it really should of been.

Why do you think that, what other slowing skill can be spammed at the lvl of cripple shot? I personally think they nerfed it about just right.

its 15 seconds, but the way dust trap's AOE and blind even after its triggered made it more viable in combat (as opposed to a defensive skill as Signet of Midnight).

I wonder if this bug thing is temporary. It seems a bit extreme to me. I remember reading somewhere that anet didnt have a problem with people farming and now they nerf that spot.

I had my Sup Vigor on my helm and was entertaining buying one for my Henge Helm. Got a feeling it would be nerfed, and held off. But the Henge Helm is now pretty much worthless. I guess we won't be seeing warriors running around with those as much as we used too...

But I saved a bunch of coin...

I doubt that it is. Gaile was (is) in LA ID1 and mentioned ANet being against "professional farmers," aka the Chinese sweatshop farmers/bots that you see all the time in Augury.

That is where they all tend to gather to farm.

That one particular spot is home to bots and sweatshops... Its not a farm nerf, its a bot nerf.

*WHoops beat me to it.*

I think it will hurt noob IWAY the most. Which is a good thing.
Also I am so suprised im not seeing a boatload of OMG WTF PWND I cant farm any more posts.

I just went out there as well - boy, once you aggro those little bastards they keep coming. The ones around the queen chased me all the way up the hill back towards Augury Rock, the hill where the path narrows down - where minos run through on your way to the queen. I solo killed every scarab between Augury and the queen's brood, but once you get to her, there are just way too many. If I could seperate some of them maybe, but it doesn't look promising. That's what I tried to do before I got plague touched, virulenced, then I ran like a bitch and died from a long-range vamp touch lol.

YAY- maybe no monk should never heal you so you just drop dead everytime you want to do something.

YAY - Hope to see you burning all the time and no mend ailment to help you!

YAY - I agree with you on the rest.

maybe they are trying to encourage more mesmer based hex removal skills.

First impressions of the Marrow Nest Builders:

Boy does that name suit them perfectly! You know all the numbers that flash across your screen with cyclone axe + vig spirit + live vicariously? Think of that in PINK whenever you get near any one of them buggers.


I'm not shocked that Prophet's got the nerf stick. (I was actually kind of hoping it would've been just to hear the reactions from farmers.) Mostly, I'm just shocked that it took so freakin' long to do it. Been months now. Months. When is word going to get out to these scarabs just how tasty the Minotaurs in Elona's Reach, Area 1 are, or to their Wintry scarab cousins about the tasty Trolls in the ice cave near Drok's? Why nerf one spot but not all of them? All three of those places are exploitably easy, but only one (as far as I know) got touched.

I imagine its a "trial run" for the vermin, to make sure know one figures out a way to in turn farm the anti farmers. I'm sure they'll be creeping into other places soon.
