Any ideas on bypassing the 1 second thing its pretty obvious they did it on purpose to cripple the soa farming... T_T

leeky baby · Jan 19, 2007, 11:29 PM // 23:29

take healing breeze + SOA

use a 20% recharge set

CR3AT0R · Jan 19, 2007, 11:40 PM // 23:40

The changes are just tests for the moment. DW about it now worry if its premanent

luinks · Jan 20, 2007, 12:00 AM // 00:00

well we all know this wont be changed
some spots are doable, imps definitely not, maelstrom + casting healing breeze/Soa/SoJ depletesmantra... maybe i need to retime the casting

You could try Judges Intervention and a few others but I really wouldn't worry to much.I haven't even done any Soa farming atm and what do you mean 20%?

Covah · Jan 20, 2007, 01:57 AM // 01:57

farming minos @ elona reach with the mo\e build and SoA I can just barely get SoA off in time now

Hopefully it isn't permanent

every1 must go to the section on the skill changes and say that they dont like it. Maybe then they will leave it the way it was <_<

You can but they are doing this testing for HA.It will be there that will decide its fate.

They didn't do this to screw farmers. This is here to weaken one of the most overpowered Prot Skills ever.

Um, no, have you ever played GvG or HA?

luinks · Jan 20, 2007, 03:35 AM // 03:35

i already did it :3

MMSDome · Jan 20, 2007, 04:44 AM // 04:44

ladies ladies...

What did you all do when AoE was nerfed? What did we all do when Tengu farming got nerfed (besides cry)?

We found new ways to farm!!

Dont dwell on this (btw its temporary) but rather find a new way to farm...

Real1ty · Jan 20, 2007, 06:10 AM // 06:10

I think the SOA will stay, but the one i'm crying about is the SV/AV nerf, geez i hope this is temporary

Looks like it's back to non interupting foes for me. Imps are a pain in the butt now. Mantra of Resolve does deplete the energy pool too fast. I can't imagine being limited to just tusked howlers, lol. Why must my PvE happiness rely on wether PvP players are happy? It's like being in an abusive relationship where the only option you have is leaving, lol.

luinks · Jan 20, 2007, 03:05 PM // 15:05

sv/av was overused and overpowered in gvg or pvp?

Amity and Truth · Jan 20, 2007, 03:20 PM // 15:20

Well in a PVP Sense it got buffed. Low Recharge / Low Duration is a lot more versatile in PVP than the other way around. But let's face it, it's simply another hit at Farming.

/edit:
To clear things up, I was referring to SV/AV

Now I stand to correct myself. After some fiddling around. Glyph of Concentration is a suitible replacement for Mantra of Resolve vs. Ice Imp's Maelstrom. Seeing as Glyphs aren't spells, I guess Maelstrom is useless against it.

(BUT YOU MUST TIME THE SKILL CHAIN CORRECTLY!)

I know it's alot of hoopla for a run that isn't as profitable as some of the others, but I REALLY hate Ice Imps!

Seige Ice Golems are still a breeze. Don't even need glyph for them. Also not needing 4 points in Inspiration opens up one more point to go in Divine, if you empty out Healing.

random.name · Jan 21, 2007, 06:32 AM // 06:32

Lol, I still use SoA to farm with my monk, and it works perfectly. Its all about how you spread your attributes...

14 Smite
14 Prot
13 Divine Favor

Slap on Blessed Aura, and you have nonstop protection. Instead of doing 53 damage with SoJ you will now do only 47.

Verteiron · Jan 21, 2007, 05:21 PM // 17:21

I just ran through my own IDS solo guide without changing a thing. The change to SoA does not alter the build at all, other than making it slightly more suceptible to knockdown interrupts (Tundra Giants). The Imps were as easy to kill as ever. I really don't see what all the whining is about, I was afraid they were actually going to make the skill unusable like they did for Spirit Bond...

Anarion Silverhand · Jan 21, 2007, 05:32 PM // 17:32

The only problem with this change, is that SoA is more vulnerable to interrupts. If you've grouped up a lot of enemies, you don't have time to re-cast it, as you'll be dead by then.
