slightly off topic - remember they gave old budger the boot because of perma sf bombers mainly - they didnt touch sf but adjusted 1 npc.Didnt anet long ago add the dying nightmares to be a problem for 55 monks ( if someone can correct if im wrong ) and as mentioned changed the mindblades by more hp and making them ranged.
Sometimes they wont nerf a skill but make changes to make it harder.
End of the day its up to us to adapt soon as they change skills - and these days builds adapt in a few days or quicker .

Razon - yea they`ll prob nerf sf totally 1 day before gw2 release lol - so 2yrs time sounds right lol

isn't the point of nerfing SF to stop SCs? since it makes it ridiculously easy to do most things in the game. the nerf probably won't even come for a long long time.. i would assume the resolution would be some sort of ele perma flesh/stone aura/mantra of earth type thing.

By the time they do decide to nerf SF, GW2 will be out (Crossfingers) if they havent by now, they NEVER will

Guys, they don't even need to nerf anything to stop UWSC.
Just fix Terrorwebs and their lack of Lava Font usage when engaing them alone.

I think they will indirectly nerf uwsc by nerfing Sliver Armor.

Unless you propose that Terrorwebs aggressively run up to you to use Lava Font... that would be interesting.

Which wouldnt nerf anything.

From the official wiki:

Vale sin would simply tank away from lava font Range

I agree. Even fixing lava on terrors would simply do nothing. All you would have to do is spam sliver on them nearby and not adjacent /easy

Now if the 4H had sig of disenchant that might be the end of uwsc

Well, if giving monsters skills that can harm SF sins is the way to go, then...

Dead Collectors: Give them Vile Touch.

Charged Blacknesses: Give them Lightning Touch

Obsidian Behemoths: Give them Dust Trap instead of Fire Trap. Have them drop Obsidian Shards to compensate.

Smite Crawlers: Maybe give them Symbol of Wrath.

Only a few suggestions. It wouldn't kill the farm, just make it more difficult.

Signet of Disenchantment wouldn't spell the end of the run necessarily... but you would probably need 4 sins to do it since more than 1 SoD in a group makes it hard to cover your enchantments.

Put a sig of disenchant on dying nightmares and problem solved for the most part, also if you want to stop uwsc put a sig of disenchant on the banished dreams riders and bam! Plains becomes undoable and chamber area becomes extreamly hard

with sig of disenchantment wouldn't it just be necessary to carry a short recharge cover enchant? it only removes one... so it would merely slow down the runs i'm guessing, like Marverick said.

@Apok Omen: if you give the smites symbol of wrath wouldn't that ruin the warrior and derv farms too? >.< not 600/smite tho.

People have been crying for ages because their precious lil Elite areas are overrun by speed clearers. There is a firm belief that such things do not belong in the game. Well I say go ahead and nerf SF all you want. Within a week we'll be back speed clearing again and as history has shown, we'll probably do it faster. In spite. Bring it on crybabies! We'll be back to square one again in no time asking for the next nerf. I've said this before and I'll say it again. You can blame Anet all day long but at the end of the day WE THE COMMUNITY are the ones responsible for breaking the game. With the exception of a few things (SF + Ursan for example) which I'm sure some witty smartass individual will probably try to point out. DUH?!

expunge enchants on some random creature?

On topic, i dont like obby flesh's 50% slower movement, that isn't really speed clear IMO. Spell breaker does the same thing except theres no armor buff.. lol, imagine a whole team of 600/smiters.

Oh heres a crazy idea, use vow of silence.
