Orb of Tishan

Sorry if this isnt the right subforum, but was considering buying one as a bard. Would like to know if it is a clicky or a proc. Thanks guys :)

Effect: Tashania (Combat, Casting Time: Instant) at Level 40

I'm not 100% but I'm fairly certain having Combat in there means it's a proc.

[Nocsucow]

yes its proc

[brecon]

It's a proc. You still want to buy one. I'll never sell mine.

Great for situations in which you (1) Are solo fear kiting something with high MR, (2) don't have an enchanter, or (3) your enchanter is being lazy. Lots of utility for the price.

Cool, to the top of the wtb list then!

Rather than buy one, get two. There are times when I want to land tash as fast as possible, so I dual wield it. I even remove my epic to have two equipped when I need a fast tash.

Other weapons I recommend carrying around as a bard that you can get outside of VP:

Guardians Mace: Highest DPS and the proc buffs you and stacks with most buffs.

Melodious Truncheon: Mezzes mobs and interrupts all mobs even if mob can't be mezzed. Supposedly unresistable so you can even interrupt raid targets that are casting. Downside is that it has like 1% chance to memblur, which I don't believe is correct based on the classic timeline. This can be dual wielded as well...but probably not that necessary unless you want to look cool with two lutes.

Symphonic Saber: If you are pulling too much aggro in a group and tank can't hold aggro, this proc reduces your threat level. Sometimes useful.

Trochilic's Skean: Best aggro weapon a bard can have when a bard needs to tank. Also useful when fear kiting as it stuns the mob momentarily when it procs.

Jagged Blade of Mourning: Although not at as good of DPS as the guardians mace, it has extra AC, Dex, and +10 MR. Probably the best in slot offhand for a bard outside of Veeshan's Peak. I always swap this in after my Guardian's Mace has procced. Although it does not have as many stats as the Edge of the Nightwalker (EoN), I would argue it is way better due to the +10 to MR that the EoN does not have.

If you don't have epic, Breath of Harmony is best in slot primary, and Harmonic Dagger is useful for stun when tanking or fear kiting. I would recommend hanging onto Breath of Harmony even after you get epic because "supposedly" the epic will still add instrument modifiers when equipped in the offhand in a later patch in Velious (Currently, it does not.). This means you'll be able to get the right click effect of the Breath of Harmony while also wielding the epic and getting all its benefits...awesome.

Thanks for the advice, Zanderr. Got one Orb now... think I'm gonna prioritize getting another couple of tink bags before getting the second one because the amount of shit I'm carrying around is only increasing. Currently wielding BoH and Guardians Mace in normal circumstances. Need to also start investing in resist gear for raiding.

Thought I read somewhere that orb tash stacks with enchanter tash on account of bards song (spell) coding.

Can anyone else confirm this?

[brecon]

Classic, but doesn't work here properly. There's a thread on bard fix issues somewhere that discusses it.

[williestargell]

it doesn't currently stack but it should in the future with a fix or velious.
