It'll get nerfed when people realize that you can use an 8 assassin team anywhere and roll stuff. Someone make a video.
Just like the nerf that happened to Ursan when people realized you could roll 6 Ursans and roll stuff. Right?

How long till Shadow Form gets nerfed?

Consider this...
Anet looked at Shadow Form because of its potential to be kept up permanantly. Hence the reduction in its duration for PvP.
So why do you think they increased the duration for PvE? Do you think they didn't know about Assassin solo farmers when they did this, especially considering that keeping Shadow Form up permanantly was already possible anyway.
If anything Anet have now introduced what could possibly be one of the best tanks in the game, and to think once people laughed at the words Assassin and tank in the same sentence.
Not to mention now being able to run pretty much anywhere in the game quickly and safely.
I for one welcome the new buff to Shadow Form for PvE (and the nerf for PvP), it gives Assassins a shot at new roles in Guild Wars that are only limited by the players potential.

PvE/PvP skills can only open more doors to each profession. Not only will it add more variety to how a class can be played, but it will keep the game fresh with new builds and ideas.
All in all, this is one skill update that i can't say anything bad about. Now, ANET is learning to satisfy all players, not just their GvG hardcore crowd.

'make PvE easier plz'
amirite?
Farming has become a bit less troublesome and there's a lot more leeway on runs as well, that much is already obvious. I looove the PvP half of it - that'll show those effing griefers. But PvE skill powercreep... soon you'd have to be completely braindead to fail @ HM at all

What's wrong with making the game even easier? It's already stupidly easy.

So true.

Basically, with it's current duration on it's PvP counterpart, it's screwed and can't be used as a griefing tool anymore.
But with the PvE part, it's stupidly overpoered and maintainable with alot of ease.

Well, at least now Sins will have a shot at replacing the OB tank in DoA runs...
Oh wait, Ursan already did that.
If you look at sins as damage dealers, a lot of their damage in PvE comes from certain Elite skills that really ramp up their effectiveness.
By using SF, the damage potential drops significantly. Not to mention the energy cost involved. No, I think they knew what they were doing, as this really just opens up new farming options for A/E, unfortunately though, the energy cost of keeping up SF without the e-management of the Mesmer skills (ESPECIALLY [skill]Auspicious Incantation[/skill]) is quite difficult, GoLE just doesn't cut it.

Try autoattacking with 8+ points in crit strikes. Otherwise, I don't know what the hell you are trying to run thats taking so much energy.

some people fancy [sliver armor] for farming, usually does more damage than single target dagger chains but opens a whole new can of worms as far as e-management and recharge
