Hey I was looking around and a lot of good farms recommend using an assassin perma sliver armor build. I was wondering if anyone had any good ones that still work post-nerf. If so, could you post them please? thanks

I ask this because there aren't any (as far as I can tell) on threads, youtube, pvx etc. i normally wouldn't ask on this.

What sort of farms do you mean? Like bosses? Solo farms?

Dungeons can mostly be run by a sin/sin team
Elite Areas have perma rolls - FoW - UW - Urgoz - Deep >< - DoA
MQSC still uses a sin..

Just dont know what sort of farm you are looking for?

There is Vaettir which is the closest thing i can think of i guess..

perma sliver wont work that well - sliver was "fixed" so it actually targets a diff foe each attack taken in rather than its old way of finding a foe and sticking like glue till they died.
If you see a mob and sit in it - before it wasnt too bad but now it takens even longer as theres a chance the foes hit a set % of hp and scatter to heal ( something about foes ai and self healing / self preservation ) which then really slows things down.

Sins can do a lot of dungeons/runs but actual farms really got hit and the amount possibly got halved due to sf nerf/buff - infact id hate to think what raptors would have been like as a/e sliver if sliver was like it was now - dont think broody would be killable.

This makes me a little sad, and I wish I could have those days back.

The A/E perma sliver farmer was so much fun for me. Farming green items in hard mode by rounding up as many enemies as possible, shadowstepping to the boss, slivering him and picking up his loot before Shadowform wore off.

I remember a gigantic thread here at guru talking about all the different bosses you could farm with it. I'd go try them all at least once. It was a huge list, and I remember its author was pretty proud.

I settled in and overfarmed a few different bosses... Scar Eater, Onslaught of Terror, some Margonite Reaper boss in the domain of Pain, and some Gaki in Eternal Grove. I think I remember a couple mantids. I'm positive I remember killing Jayne with it. It was great.

When I returned from my 2 year vacation and saw it was all nerfed, I was sad. I think I want what the OP in this thread wanted... an "all around boss farmer" build like the old A/E that I could just run up and BLAMMO some varoius random bosses with.

Farming raptors and vaettirs and the chaos ledge... meh. Any all-around greenie farmers?

With the change to sf it really killed a lot of farms and boss farms and some are still possible but involves a lot of skill changing and possibly buffing by a bonder.
Some bosses tho can be solo`d still - there are a few bosses that you can go any/necro with as 55hp and use terrain to hide and sv them - done that on my sin a few times.Also the rit contruct in ( i think ) melandrus ( leave from kurz jade flats ) and use either the sv build or spirit spammer build - put spirits to top left of npcs at shrine , pull construct with bow and run round the big rock - you can swap to a 55 armor to ensure he stays locked on you and the spirits kill him.But this can take a few mins just to be able to pull him easily - he can be pulled from afflicteds but watch their movements as they can aggro and kill you fast.
A/me with a few adjustments can easily farm not only vaetires but switch mantra of earth for mantra of frost and even do same for shield - first 2 waves of snowmen hm , ice imps and ice golems in prophs , fire imps can be done and they often drop ele tomes in hm.
