Miscellaneous: Summary of Bard issues

[Rogean]

What about sending the animation manually with doanim?

[shlence]

I know Jete was heading out so I just wanted to say:

1) Thanks to Haynar for getting us working quite well.
2) As far as I can tell at level 18, every single bard ability I have is working error free.
3) Twisting works perfectly. Which as Jete said, it's now easy to see the bad bards TT.
4) The only thing still wrong is the animations that you were just talking about. Pretty sure that's it.

Thanks again,
Skee | Half Elf Bard

doanim works for the bard seeing his own animation. But others do not see it. It is just the series of bard animations. doanim of any other animation on the bard, and others see it.

Its weird

I've been having a freaking blast since all the bard fixes came in. That is some serious skills /bow.

Animations are eye-candy. My bard is almost 28 now, and that means I'm getting closer and closer to that fateful lvl 32. I know that some bards are not going to be happy about this, but this is classic, and that should supersede any
other arguments.

Lvl 32 mana song needs to be returned to its classic form. No icon, no 3 tick duration, but a 3 second cast "necro feed" and a message that says "your mind clears". Yes, it will have a downside, but there will also be an upside.

(note: if this was already fixed and I missed the messages in patch notes or
from other bards, disregard this)

cheers!

This is on my list of things to fix. To get the pulse based songs, working the way they were in classic.

there has to be some sort of incentive since other things aint working rite for bards

keep as is please

[astuce999]

Mitic you may want to keep mana song as is because you think it more powerful or more convenient than its classic form, but I actually see it as its nerfed form right now, and would like to return it to its classic more powerful form.

Right now : 3 second cast, 5 mana per tick, 3 tick duration, icon. (doesn't stack with itself, or other bards).

Classic : 3 second cast, 5 mana per pulse, no duration, no icon. (stacks with itself, and multiple bards can play it).

With the classic form you can cast it over every 3 second and produce an extra 10 mana per tick for casters, making it twice as powerful as its current form. You can also have better stackability for bards in groups/raids, since multiple bards playing it means more mana over all.

cheers,

heh, one big song issue..

Kelin's Lucid Lullaby should be a pbae song with a range of about 25, rather than a single target song.

proofs =p

it wasn't changed to a single target till 2002ish
