I heard you can't farm it solo anymore because of an update. I'm pretty sure he was a scammer just saying that because he's... a scammer. I was just asking for confirmation, because I was never able to solo him in the first place.

You're saying he's a scammer... did you see the video? because I don't see how it could be a scam if he can show that.

A recent update could easily make a video pointless. Of course it would have been possible then, but if the scammer was right, then it was nerfed.

The most recent post before mine was a little over one month.

I've watched the video, and it doesn't seem to be the same as the farm is now. Then again i may just suck, but i do beleive that they've made it harder if not impossible, to do solo.

EDIT: At least with a this build and/or grenths balance.

This farm is still very soloable. If you the warden of the forrest is out there than it is harder because he puts weakness on you. If that makes it harder for you than drop out one attack skill and take a purge or vigorous spirt. The video was before the armor update so you will take more damage but dont let that confuse you with the elite skill he is using. Spoil victor will kill you quickly when he gets low on health so you have to pay attention to what is happening to you. I will make a new video after the nerf to prove the point.

Well i also wonder if this is still doable solo.
And if so what armor would be preferable (gladiator or sentinel)?
Anyway i noticed that areas can get updated without a major update.
The client on your pc just checks if it has the lastest version of a certain area and if not, the newest version will be downloaded.
This way Anet can update movement patterns and behaviour of mobs in areas without any notice.
The problem (and a quite persistent one) i encounter, the warden of season/summer stays way back. Before i can get to that one i'm taking way to much damage from the others.
And luring doesn't work either.

Since the armor update, it is harder to do. It can still be done but it is a lot harder. But here is a video of an updated version. Dropped in balthazaar's Spirit and Healing Breeze.

Just like before, it is harder with a forester but can be done. You should always defeat him when he has a wind with him. Also for extra regen get the blessing.

Well, Spoil Victor is no longer 5...50. I do not know if someone has already posted this. It is now 25...85. 50 health difference per attack is a sizeable amount.
