Am I the only one that sort of kinda likes the nerf to SoF?

[Ultimatecalibur]

I'm fine with the nerf on SoF simply because it is main story content, and the item level requirement for it is very low compared to how strong the enemies originally were. While the community is really strong now in terms of item level (average of 120 maybe?), the fact that they implied that it could be completed by a team of IL90 people is something to consider. Would a boss with that amount of HP really be defeated by eight IL90s? Imagine IL90 tanks getting whacked by those adds and that underfoot attack; it's not their fault that they got in and had to face a big-azz boss... the duty let them in.

Yes, a group of i90s/i100s should be able to clear the fight if they follow the intended strategy, but no one does the intended strategy.

The intended strategy is:

1. All 4 DpS each man a cannon at the start of each stage.
2. Tanks pull adds between closest cannon set.
3. Healers heal.
4. DpS on Front cannons use cannons to attack Vishap. DpS on Rear cannons use Cannons to kill adds and Miniboss.
5. When Front cannons are targeted by Vishaps AoE, DpS on them disengage for them and help finish of the adds/Miniboss.
6. Tanks grab new adds and tanks them under Vishap
7. Rear Cannon DpS pound Vishap, adds and if (necessary) Miniboss.
8. During Stages 2, 3 and 4 a healer runs up Tower.
9. During Stages 3 and 4 Front DpS run to Snares and use them to stun/fetter Vishap.
10. Front cannon DpS start directly DpSing Vishap.
11. During Stages 2, 3 and 4 healer uses Dragonkiller when Vishap is in range and (if stage 3 and 4) snared.
12. When Rear cannons targeted by cone AoE everyone starts directly DpSing Vishap until barrier falls.
13. Repeat from Step 1 until victory or defeat.

Correct but pre nerf, 1 missed dk or a tank not picking up adds fast enough were causing wipes. Hence the nerf.
