I'll list why SB is unsafe right now by itself (I said Unsafe, not impossible, I've farmed some stuff post-update, but not NEAR as fast, and not 100% success rate either).
1) Too Much Aggro and you are dead, just like 55's problem.
If you are fighting enough things to where they are doing more than 10 attacks against you in 2 secs...GG.
2) Getting SB interupted in anyway even once is almost game over because it'll be followed by 2+ seconds of the monsters just POUNDING on you with no healing, and remember it only takes 10 attacks to kill you under Prot Spirit.
And don't say its a 1/4 sec cast...The AI can interupt almost anything if it feels like it..And if there are knockdowns in the area you fighting and they time the knockdown to when you are going to use bond...Thats bad (This is easy to see in Warden farming)
3) The Ways you actually KILL the monster (SS, Visages+Famine, Retribution+Holy Wrath) all will cause the monsters to spread out and regen health now (and aggro the caster of the SS/Visage if they are close enough and feel like it), making the process slower and more unsafe now.
And YES I actually tested them, and YES even Sym and Ancestors Visage cuases them to spread out now (and go directly after me in my case

)
