Vehjin Mines Monster Change, Invisible Farm Nerf?

While helping a guildie cap "Charge" in Vehjin Mines last night I noticed that the cobal shriekers that had previously been teamed up with the mokeles had been changed the cobalt scabara, a nasty enchant stripping mesmer. It has been a few weeks since I farmed there and have not heard anything previously about this change. Also, looking through the updates on the official site, I found no mention. I had read previously of E/Me farming going on in the international districts, so it seems that A Net has once again applied "Ward Against Farmers". If this is old news, just ignore it, but I found nothing on the search.

Noticed the same thing the other day while capping Wounding strike. I don't know why they decide some areas need to be nerfed and others are just fine.

yea i think it happened like 2 weeks ago i might be wrong they nerf the cobalts and kirins farming on that day.

They only have one enchantment shatter with 25s recharge, so just cover your stuff really and they will still go down.

Of course silly bots can't do that..... though

Ranger evasion build still can do it

Was farming there last night and found that with only one mesmer in the area I was getting my enchantment shattered about every 10 seconds????

I mainly farm just the Behemoth and bull trainers since I seem to get more gold , purples and cion dropped from them. But last night I thought I would go a different route to find it was a lot harder then it was a few weeks ago.

According to wiki Cobalt Scabara carry Discharge Enchantment which only has a 15s recharge time and Hex Eater Vortex which has a 10s recharge time.

I guess I will just stick to the Behemoth and bull trainers until they get nerf'd too.

Eh, I thought they had Shatter Enchantment... nvm

Whats Discharges effect drain[and energy] or damage?

Discharge Enchantment=

Remove one Enchantment from target foe. If that foe is Hexed, this Skill recharges 20...44% faster.

15 sec base recharge =o

sounds like an anti-55er bot change, not so much a nerf to honest farmers who can improvise and overcome

Cover enchantment gogo.
