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

you all really think a song like that should just have one resist check at the beginning and never again?

[Prova]

I've always considered this to be fundamental to how the bard plays. If you're sticking to one song because it landed and you can't risk another resist of it, thats a choice. As previously stated, if resistances are nailed down a little better, this ceases to be an issue. If we're talking about mid level stuff where resists are out of the question, there are far bigger concerns than bards at this level. If a a bard gets the drop on you 1v1, you should have a crim pot up no question. In group PvP, bards trying this strategy will be forgoing resists and selos. Since they can't twist, in group v group they'd be easy to FF down if they have someone snare locked.

Just because a few griefers had bards boosted up to 50 here don't let that fool you into thinking you will see many on live. With charm agroing not functioning correctly, they're going to be significantly more difficult to level solo, and without the direct ability to blow people up or save lives, most will get tired of them pretty quick.

Overall I think that any change is unnecessary. The mechanic is engrained as they come and I don't think think the PvP consequences will be as great as they appear due to the above reasons (scarcity and a higher pop). The change would mostly just hurt the bard PvE while leveling.



If the server is such a waste land that he can keep you mezzed unharassed for long periods then we have more important problems to be thinking about.

It's pretty obvious that the developers will try to fix the Bard issue. Not much else to discuss. The way it currently works is stupid and if you can't see that then your also STUPID LAWL

Bard song which is a DS Psalm of Purity needs to have cure poison counters on it. I believe it removes 3-6 counters of poison per pulse.

Psalm of Vitality is a damage shield but should also remove disease counters.

Essentially thats how bards cured in classic was through that DS song. It wasn't later till they removed the cure function of these songs and the created the Cure disease and poison song.

So those songs need to be curing as well as providing a Damage Shield.

ALSO Kelin's Lucid Lullaby should be AREA EFFECT mez in classic.

You can read some of the alla comments and players are talking about its huge power in gathering and sustaining a whole zone of mobs. great for powerleveling I might add. so... make sure you make alot of bards!!!

Dojii, have you ever played on p99 or on the red99 beta? Firstly, Kelin's Lucid Lullaby is an ae on the server already (although its resists are nowhere near classically accurate). Secondly, Psalm of Purity and Psalm of Vitality were not DS's in classic (just look at old everlore archives). They removed 1 poison counter, which again is something you can confirm with a little bit of research.

Haha that's what I'm saying. I'm happy I can bring so much joy to the server! My goal is to have as many people as possible wanting to kill me. It makes my gaming experience so much more interesting and enjoyable.

Win/Win situation!
