Only slightly afraid of retribution from other bards for this. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The damage absorb component on Jonthan's Inspiration (Bard song, level 58) seems to be doing much more than any listing it implies it should (200+ vs. 18).

Just tried this out, this is way overpowered in its current state, I'm surprised I didn't notice it earlier.

Has this been fixed yet? This is unbelievably exploitable. A bard could heal a tank in most groups on his own with this spell the way it is. It also gives Bards a much more powerful role during VS fights that they didn't previously have [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Aye, confirmed bugged to death.

This is 2000% more useful than it should be right now. This is helping making some fight trivial. See Trakanon and Venril sathir.

This is one of those rare bugs that should tender immediate attention and change .. I.E. no " fixed-pending update"

On a side note, I find it appauling this was reported 4 months after the 1st bard hit 58

The fact its been 5 weeks and this has not been fixed is pretty scary.

Hey, I didn't even notice it at first - but you're right, this needs urgent fixing and I'm sure many people are exploiting it with impunity.

It's also not self-only, it's targeted and group-only.

Forgive my ignorance, this spell is self only correct? And the song refreshes every half a tick? so a 200 hp rune refreshing every 3 seconds, with no mana or component cost?

Yeah, I could solo/duo HS with that =) oh wait.... but I didnt know about it...

There is my ignorance at work, Group only, gotcha.

I really wasnt pointing any single bard out, but I find it highly doubtful nobody noticed.

Fixed, pending update.

i remember the jonathan song line on live to be self only. not this you have to target someone for them to have this song crap
