Big deal...
It's been done over 6 months ago.

And using 7 different cons to boost your Shadow Arts to perma SF on an Ele has nothing to do with beating the nerfs.

I like the enthusiasm! The vid is fun to watch also. I didn't understand the topic at first (the nerfs havn't happened yet) but I'm pretty sure you are referring to the changes to plains with the skeletons. I think it's great that you spent time showing that that 4h can be (tenuously) soloed.
It would be really cool if there were others working on improving a speed clear. Particularly if it were not just the same splits and similar builds to DayWay. We really haven't had a quick smooth run in all areas yet but I'm thinking it will probably be around the 20min mark if all the areas go well. (maybe /age 19) It would be great to see some other teams come up with maybe some different splits although soloing 4h might be hard to include in a fast run.
Many of us are actually looking forward to a skill change. I'm just hoping it wont be a monthly nerf defeating any work done on new clears. Many have already started testing different options and of course oby flesh is the closest to just using SF but i'm sure they will get around to nerfing that too. I'm actually a little hesitant to mention some things as i don't want to waste time (or anyone else's time) working on something only to have it nerfed soon after.

Yes, I very much doubt that solo 4H has any use in 8-man runs, due to the time it takes to set up. It is just for fun and a challenge I would put the absolute limit on solo 4H as being probably 11-12min (this is optimistic ^^).

no surprise, you used consumables.
I'm waiting to see how ArenaNet is going to nerf Shadow Form. As long as I can farm bosses for green weapons and Raptors in HM, then it's okay. Otherwise, I'll protest.
But nice job working through the Skeletons of Dhuum.

Just want to say a few things:
1. Amazing, I've had whole groups in UW that even have a perma tank still lose at 4H, and to see you do it in like 1 minute is pretty cool, but I think a lot based on sliver procs cause if it takes to long to kill the first two you are screwed. GJ pulling those guys away and then recalling just in time to catch the other group
2. What did Anet really expect when that made permaform "Spells against you fail and attacks against you miss" aka almost invulnerable. OF COURSE people would find ways to maintain this, it was really awesome back before you had to be A/E or A/Me to do it w/o cons
3. Yes some people, including me, find SF annoying. I've had too many guildies say "Oh I'm so cool I can do raptors, or run this, or whatever on my perma" I'm like, dude.. you maintain ONE skill, but its things like this that impress me. This isn't some dude raptor farming, he is soloing something it normally takes 2 teams of 4 to do in a little over a minute with an almost standard build and A LOT of ingenuity. So maybe not pro, but clever? Yes very.

This is irrelevant to the topic but I'm just really curious...why does the topic creator's in game screen look so different than other screen pics? It looks so much nicer. If possible, could someone let me know how I could make my screen like that?

The OP is using TexMod to modify the skin of his interface. I think the one in that pic is called 'Dark Glass' or something like that. It should be available on Wiki (I think theres a section for them on the official one) or on Guru somewhere. PM the OP if you can't find a link.
