Bards songs are unbalanced and fucked up. (FIX PLZ)

[L1ch]

Confirmed. Hawtt pwnned me in this manner earlier tonight. Thought I was just being nub.

Perhaps a better idea than fixing resists for this would be to change the chance of missing a note? increase the chance the bard will miss a note, which will end the song, and cause the bard to start the song over and add in a perhaps a 8 second coooldown on that song, forcing him to play a new song. even better would be to increase the chance of missing a note in specificly PVP instead of both PVP and PVE so that we balance the PVP part of bards but not totaly fuck their PVE game.

With ideas like this I want to shoot myself in the foot.

i'm not sure if lovely is cut out for this game

his emotions run wild when he hits that enter norrath button

i'm not even kidding; this seems like a legitimate issue for him and it cannot be healthy

on topic, this is one of those things that appears to be classic but is also retarded

Okay so this happened to me twice today. Basically if a bard hits a Mez/Slow or whatever on you then they can keep singing the same song forever without it having any chance of it resisting. It doesn't matter if you have 30 MR, 250 MR or 10000 MR, if you get hit once you'll be stuck for forever.

There is no way in the universe this is balanced or good for the server. You could basically roam around with bards and if you find someone keep them mezzed. Call your guild to port in and a 100% kill. Or just grief someone for hours without them being able to do anything. You could mez someone and go take a 30 min lunch break and when yer back you'd still have the same person standing there mezzed.

lol this is exactly what happened to me in vztz one time. i was harassing big rosanne pretty hard on my druid, killin him repeatedly as he boxed cleric as well. anyway after about 45 minutes dojii came and kept me mezed for literally 30 minutes before 4 of his guildmates came and surrounded me to kill. (don't worry though, i still escaped. cheetah'd off a cliff and gated)

I haven't played in years, but I'm pretty sure it's every 6 seconds.

[PlayervsDen]

the bard song refreshes every 6 seconds or every tick is 6 seconds?

[Softcore PK]

A server tick has always been 6 seconds, and a song left on without canceling (no twisting) refreshes itself every 6 seconds.

Right?
