what happened to the tome of prime kings?

hi i just recently started playing gw again when i got my facts expansion, then i decided to go farming again at topk with my b/p like i usually do, then i found not b/p's their, but a bunch of a/me's
what im asking is what been going on at topk since whats probably 1 year of not playing gw, and i could also use this new build for topk

Welcome to the world of Perma Sin

Basically, through the use of Shadow Form, Assassins can become practically unkillable in many areas and farm tons. For example, the Underworld can be completed (in HM) in about 12 mins with a bunch of SF Sins.

wow so i guess this is probably the death of b/p's aw well at least i have sin

b/p please explain what is that? never used that before and just curious.

Pets no longer leave exploitable Corpses so that nerfed MM's in the b/p group.

B/P stands for Barrage Pet. It used to be a popular build for farming, since the pets tank well and damage came from the Barragers.

The Zaishen Quest (you'll probably want to look those up) for The Darkness was about the only time groups formed in ToPK. Then again, 3 SF sins can clear the place faster than a B/P team can; however, you'll still find B/P teams forming.

I miss B/P in Tombs

B/P is one of the funnest builds ever, pewpew

Well pets now follow you into explorables only using Comfort Animal (if you already have one tamed). Do 33% more damage and receive 33% less damage. So pets are a bit more likeable in PvE again. But Tomb of Primevil Kings is pretty much a Sin area now.

Not just there, they damn Perma's are everywhere, why Anet refuse to let non Sin playing professions not have 7 heroes but let the kids have god mode on their Sins is beyond me. Have they just given up on GW's?

Another thing, warrior henchmen having charge as elite skill, even in HM is just lol

Tomb of Primevil Kings has been dead for like 16 months, long before Permas came around. Very few people run it anymore at all in PUGs. It just doesn't offer good rewards. The chance to get something at the end of a run from the bosses isn't as reliable as a dungeon reward chest (complaints about people getting unlucky with the end rewards in Tombs is the main reason GWEN dungeons have end chests instead of drops that guarantee you get at least something).

This illustrates how much things have changed ^^

This.

Almost nobody gives a crap about most of the greens you get in TOPK anymore, and End Chests >>>> Guaranteed drops. Victo's battle axes goes for 1~2k.

Lack of inscription conversion seals the deal. TOPK = dead.

^ yes its dead...

Ectos's baby bring on the ectos

Wow...that sucks that ToPK is dead, I would spend hours a day in their with my monk and ranger, even my Rit.

Whatever happened to the good ole days when people would form a group just to beat an area, not to farm it?

It seems impossible for me to find a group to clear UW/Fow/SF/ what have you since everybody wants to farm it with as few people as possible.

It's a game people...lets get back to having fun with it, the moment it becomes a chore it is no longer fun.

Ahh..I remember b/p. That was FUN!

Basically, Perma Sins own the area now for ectos. Shame...

I can't resist any longer - I have to say that the Tome of the Prime Kings got burned up in the fires during the Searing.
