I'm sorry but this is just getting rediculous, I try to escape from the mass troll farming, minotaur farming, and other farming that just got nerfed. I go to the most fun farming build I know, the Grenth's Footprint and Sorrow's Furnace Solo Build by lambada the great. Only to find that it too has been nerfed.

How? You might be asking. Simple. The Siege Ice Golems run away the second I start to attack them, leading me into agroing FIVE other groups before the miner can no longer keep up with healing me. And he WILL NOT STOP RUNNING. Are they trying to turn PvE into PvP? Having all the casters run away from you as soon as they get hit once with a sword.

The skills like Dolyak Signet and others that can increase armor or evasion and slow yourself might as well be BURNED right now. I mean, the casters running away from you and moving to a more strategic position is one thing, them charging away, leading you into other groups of themselves, will cause massive agro problems.

I know Arena Net might not like soloing, but we should at least get one escape from the teams of henchmen (which you don't use when you want drops) , or the possible mentally challenged noob seemingly set out to ruin your farming. I don't like farming with other people, unless they're friends of mine that I know from real life, I prefer to farm on my own, or with henchmen when I'm not concerned with drops. Point is, I think these Siege Ice Golems should be made to stop at the agro circles of the other groups, or just move somewhere else instead of charging in the opposite direction not casting at all. Comments?

o0 well you see, if they run from you that means your leet...I'll look into this.

Lol if that were true they would not be running ^_^ Not sure if this matters much for the subject but my build was:

Final Thrust
Riposte
Deadly Riposte
Dolyak Signet
Grenth's Balance
Bonetti's Defense
Healing Signet
"Watch Yourself!"

This is sad for farming indeed, but at the other hand, monsters AI are now more real, more similar to real people, more difficult, and I like it. I know is bad for farming, I repeat, is sad. But in near future will be new ways for farming.

Just tried it, got into SF then had to go, just GB the Golems down to 90%ish then they won't run away(At leaste thats what they did when I did it)

Still possible for me! Even easier with the new hench control mode.

Witte: henchies? ... go grab some Heroes from Elona and it makes it even MORE easier

To first post: Yes, farming was nerfed, please quit while you can. Less people farming = more drops for the rest, kthxbye!

Lol nice trolling! I find it impressive how so many noobs can be fit into one fansite.... Farming was nerfed, I'm happy about it, the skill-less builds are all but gone. This build takes skill, and it was hella nerfed, I don't even think it would work if i took a team, siege ice golems would probably still agro 5 other groups. I'd like to see you so called "experianced players" contend with that using the build I'm using.

Response to lambada:
I find that it's still possible to farm the first bosses, but it's annoying when they start running. Often times it happens that they start to run away and agro groups, but I am starting to find that it happens less now. No idea why. Still it was unreasonably nerfed and this deserves attention.

I'm happy that the AI offers more challenge as well, but taking the agro from 3 groups with only Healing Signet and Grenth's Balance as heals (Healing Signet is iffy for use because of Rust). In my opinion that's taking a good healthy challenge way too far.

Bump Up This Post

You can't belive how much money i make... some weaks afther SF begin...
300k average per day... in just 2 hours...

drago 100k... razorstone 80k necro stuff 100k... rago 100k... 4 <> 6 greens per run...

My best, here i dont kill the henchs i run and close them behind the gates...

I show the four boss classes i can kill with this build... if i put obsidian flesh i can kill mesmers but cant kill warriors... i never kill the monks with build...

I remenber i asking for help to make a killer boss build and people calling a noob...

Afther factions i change build and can kill 99.9% of bosses of anyplace (tyria, cantha and elona).

Sadly only drago flat is a profitable green now (in SF)...

Good job you must be a very skilled warrior to solo bosses in SF...

Oh my freaking goodness

Tarkin or Pega Aki (heh, another pt?

) : but now with henchies control you do not need to kill your henchies party, which makes it even easier! (And if you have nightfall, you can take some heroes too!)

I kown... this work very well...
But how i say only few greens are profitable now (in SF)... at time i farm thats a lot more profitable...
But the point is... use the brains... exist a powerfull build that you can kill any boss in anyplace... with the hench trick... easyest now you dont need to kill hench anymore...
