Post-nerf Voltaic Spear farm

Video of the post SF nerf VSF run, without any consumables (sweets/alcohol/essence) or BiP, even though the spawn was a bit bad (Modniir in the first group). Door opened under 4 minutes.

People keep telling me this isn't possible, so this is proof that it is.

If you still doubt it, and have a R9+ caster cryer, I will be doing VSF quite often these few weeks; IGN: Stellar Shadow

In case you can't see it, the skills are (from left to right):

Glyph of Swiftness, Deadly Paradox, Shadow Form {E}, Death's Charge, Dark Escape, Dash, Dwarven Stability, "I Am Unstoppable!"

Edit: As of the skill balance in June, 2009, it's no longer preferable to do this run with cryers as the damage output is effectively halved (otherwise indicated on this video). But the majority of the PuGs are already RoJ based so I guess it doesn't really matter.

R.I.P. my favorite way of VSF.

Edit 2: Further nerf of shadow form (the attacks miss) have permanently made this impossible in HM.

Edit 3: OK... not impossible. But this run is slower/harder without any consumables (easy enough with alcohol, though).
When my computer is fixed I'll try to upload a run sometime.

no it isnt i still run vsf

[StellarAshes]

@xpto980 Another user who just shows off without saying anything about how it's done eh?

Anyway, yes it is possible still to do this, but it's much slower than before and you seem to have to rely on other members of your team as well as consumables to do it properly.

how much does is cost to get a run in hm and nm?

[StellarAshes]

What do you mean get a run? This is a group farm thing, not running through a dungeon.

@Revivatard SF in not nerfed and there are alot of new farms. VSF works again but needs abit different perma build. There are alot of speedclears working and stuff. Game on!

[Revivatard]

@Voiveikkuli so fucking true

everythings sky high now so us that want to keep buying fow and chaos gloves and vs an dshit are getting the dull end.

the SF nerf was an all around fucking fail.

and now anet will obviously pay when people leave and leave and leave

RA is overflowing now cuz theres no point in PvE anymore.

Rest in peace farming.
