If they do so, they should at least remove the 50% dmg penalty to make it fair for those who DOESN'T farm in the UW with SF.

none.

As long as the duration is reduced then there shouldn't be a problem with shadow form's damage reverted. The 50% damage reduction it has now only hurts farming builds that aren't for the underworld. If this change happens, then shadow form will only be maintainable with arcane echo [and deadly paradox, of course].

Never liked the 50% dmg reduction, personally I don't farm UW. Used my sin for UW Speedclears and IDS runs and sometimes a few greens that I always wanted

Glad to see they are rethinking about it

You do realize the only reason this is getting reverted is the whining from the perma/ursan users, rite? Or are you intentionally an incessant nose-picking moron.

Two winners on the same page in Riverside, that doesn't happen very often.

Anyways, revert it to what it was before it was buffed. It's really as easy as that, don't know why ANet are making it so damn complicated.

This is the most obvious, best solution to the problem. Too bad it seems Anet wants to stray from the obvious and likes to think they're intuitive when really they just don't know what they're doing.

"OMG! Everyone is expecting an SF revert, we'll just give 50% damage! That will solve the problem and no one will ever expect it!!"......ups, it didn't solve anything.

prefer to address their ability to farm Chaos Plains directly rather than continue to hit the skill and hurt all the other farming builds. However, keep in mind, we don't want to completely eliminate the SF sin's ability to farm in UW. We just want to slow it down enough so that it's equal to the other farming builds/areas like the Smite fields. - Linsey talk 04:04, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
ehhh...why is it a buff ??
I am the only one who believes this sounds like a nerf?

Next time read everything not just 1st sentence...

I think Anet is retrying what they wanted to achieve some weeks ago. Don't hurt the raptor farmers and co, while in the meantime making sure UW isn't farmed dry sorta speak, but still possible. I support that view.

Things turned out differently than they expected. I'm curious to see with what they will come up now.

with these chaos planes even the terra can't do it anymore
it's so unfair that all those other good builds have to suffer because those stupid permasins overfarm the chaos plains

What the f*ckin hell are you f*ckin crying about? Read the whole f*cking quote not just the first sentence omg! They gonna nerf Chaos Plains farm, so it wont worth it, so why is it a buff? They just gonna revert the old green/etc farm, and why is it bad? Nothing to do with ectos, nothing will change.

Sigh, people are so retarded here, really.

I really don't care about SF or farming in general, but I wish they would leave UW the way it is.

i'd just revert SF to its original duration.. this would mean that it's still maintainable, but only with /Me as secondary. Anet were just a bit hasty with their whole PvE/PvP skill separation, subsequently killing the whole gw economy. I just can't believe that with their "extensive" testing they didnt realise that this would happen. I mean seriously, giving a gw player the ability to stay invulnerable permanently is just shooting yourself in the foot.

Revert it to before the buff. Forget changing Chaos Plains, screw the 50% dmg moopoo, just admit the buff was a bad idea and move on mmmmmmmmkay?

I would revert SF to its heyday but make the run to the Chaos Planes impossible without killing a number of Behemoths and Charged Blacknesses. You'd have to bring heroes to kill them, slowing the run down considerably.

okay I will sound greedy but I dont care how much A-Net nerfs Shadow Form as long as I can can keep it up 24/7 on my assasin

I dont farm Chaos Planes (just boring as hell to me) but I just love the tactical ways that perma SF opened

Fair enough, but that means let's nerf all skills that can be used for any sort of farming . [mystic regeneration], [protective spirit][spirit bond][retribution][holy wrath], [blood is power][masochism][deadly paradox][moebius strike][vigorous spirit][healing breeze], all ELE PBAoE spells, [spiteful spirit][spoil victor][mending]-->YES MENDING, for the lulz of course. As well as... [arcane echo][echo][pain inverter][avatar of dwayna][ancestor's rage][vengeful was khanhei][essence bond][balthazar's spirit][vengeful weapon][glyph of swiftness][stoneflesh aura][armor of earth][kinetic armor], and of course....[obsidian flesh][spell breaker], and one of the most powerful farming skills of all...[sliver armor].

Each one of those skills is used in at least one ub3r farm build, and I'm not even close to naming all of them (forgot to add ranger skills lolz, sry :/) So you see, SF isn't the only uber awesome omega pwnsauce farm build in GW. Look at the skills above. Hell, nerf sliver armor if you want then, some of the most elite farming builds that are e/x or x/e use sliver for its massive damage output in a short amount of time.

So if you want to nerf all farming builds, that means you have to nerf the above skills + a bunch more skills for PVE. Which pretty much effective makes all other PVE team builds useless except for [ursan blessing]. So, you know wat, i /sign w/blacksephir's idea. Nerf all farming builds/skills to force everyone to use UB

I want SF to be de-nerfed and the changes to UW reversed. I actually think it was better when the prices were going down.

well, i could care less a bit on UW (heck, make Chaos Plains harder for all I care because I'm going smites instead), I just want SF to be maintainable, farm bosses, and have the stupid 50% damage penalty removed.

I mean, who in the right mind would care whether or not others can buy ecto besides retarded elitest punks who constantly QQ?
Elitests only want it nerfed now that they made the money off of it and don't want others to catch up in economy because they think they wont be so rich and "cool" anymore.

Farming is for poor people, if you take away their cash flow they'll quit. UW/FoW do need a man sized buff though.

Agreed, especially a God Mode that adds on average 15-20 ectos/h to your inv.

Everyone has access to this "godmode" though, so the playing field is fair. If however this build was only available to the select few, only then would it be an issue.
