Hey all, see title, just a few things to ask the farming community-

1.) 600/smite took a nerf before I stopped playing for a while, is it still a viable farming team for its old areas?

2.) Sins appear to be as prevalent as ever, were they really affected at all by the nerfs?

3.) Is there any monking for high-end farming groups that isn't 600/smite or RoJ? i.e. are HB, UA and the like still popular for things like FoW?

4.) Have there been any earth-shattering changes after the most recent Shadow Form nerf that I've missed?

Thanks all!

1) I don't 600 so I wouldn't honestly know this 1.

2) They were affected to an extent but really the "nerfs" didn't affect Sf farming or Speedclears could say that when the SF change happened it buffed sins.

3) Yes HB and UA are still popular especially for DoA farming since Glaiveway came around.

4) Mesmers got buffed but you make want to take a look at the update notes for other changes.

2.) Sins appear to be as prevalent as ever, were they really affected at all by the nerfs? SF got changed. Not nerfed. It can't do some of the things it did before, but can do things now that it couldn't before. It's still a key farming skill.

3.) Is there any monking for high-end farming groups that isn't 600/smite or RoJ? i.e. are HB, UA and the like still popular for things like FoW? Probably. Don' pay attention to it much.

4.) Have there been any earth-shattering changes after the most recent Shadow Form nerf that I've missed? Mesmer update. It doesn't have much (if anything) to do with farming, so if that's all you're interested in you haven't missed much.
