So, the SF nerf took a bit of a toll on green farming. Now, at the mercy of physical damage, and most unfortunately, interrupts, the old build is easily outdated. However, we can't let that facet of the game be crushed so easily.
I've taken to attempting a few of the old runs I used to run in NM with a bit of a variation, playing to the defensive aspect as the meta would have it be, and it's worked with a rather good degree of success. There are advantages to the change to SF, allowing and disallowing previous farms. I'd like to catalog the bosses here and the builds associated, as each requires a bit of a different

Not much to start, but I'll see how much I can add in the coming weeks. Any contributions or suggestions would be much appreciated.

It is easy to farm without SF you know.

What are good places to farm greens with spirit spam?
Black Metal
yeah, here's an easier guide: take a full h&h team, clear the area, flag away, and spirit spam
works for virtually every boss

Grenths Balance W/N can solo pretty much any boss also with the h/h flag system.

Assuming you can live through it, sliver armor is immensely faster than any H/H setup. Run to the boss without killing anything, kill the boss without touching his minions. There's a reason this build was king.

Seems I forgot to mention, the primary focus is reviving the A/E Green farmer. More or less, picking at what bosses it can handle and with what. I may compile further builds to fill in for the bosses it can't handle, but that's at a later date further off.
I'm open to boss suggestions, as I've been randomly selecting the previous.

Why the need to keep SF builds alive?

Its also not the only damned skill in the game! Not that you would ever know from these forums.
Invertation
Let's refrain from arguing over SF. That can be done elsewhere with a great deal of more people willing to do so.
Invertation
Just being wary of KD and AoE damage. The damage reduction buffs may prove more useful there than the previous build. I'll give it a shot and see if I can't throw something together.

The problem with Ssynn is that the Naga have Seeking Arrows + Conc Shot. It totally craps on Shroud of Distress. I had a theorycraft idea of trying to ball all the Rangers up and hitting them with Unseen Fury and THEN casting, but that would probably be a lot of work and you could die before pulling it off. It could possibly work in NM, though, if you just want the staff. I'll have to test it later.
Invertation
I highly recommend trying NM first. Green drop rate is the same. Gave a few builds a shot, but I'm still roughing it out. Two problems with perma sliver: the inherent chance of a false target on sliver, and the severe difficulty in casting from daze and interrupts. I've not tried the full scope of builds for perma yet, but have fiddled with a few other options. From what I can tell, it's either left to a precast dive bomber that can pop out, or something a little more hardy. I'd hate to say the only resort is a SoS farm, as that's brutally slow and the universal standard.

I still use my perma sin to farm greens in many cases in hard mode, you just gott be a little mroe careful and pack more defense into the build.
