Prove it. Why was my evidence not good enough? I showed that dots should apply damage only 3 times.

Witness testimony is accepted in courts of law.

Men have been put to death solely on eye witness testimony.

Proof is for atheists and scientists.

It takes 10 seconds to get up 4 songs, but 13 seconds to keep them up in a rotation. Your songs will always fade just before you refresh them. Any good bard knows that it is better to keep up 3 songs indefinitely.

Of course you can take a screenshot with 4 songs going at once, but it doesn't mean you were able to play the first song again before it faded.

yes it does, actually. It doesn't take 13 seconds because the casting time is like 2.9 seconds. I even posted logs showing undeniable proof of this fact, in this very same thread. I think it's a little silly to insinuate that I posted a screenshot of me keeping four songs up to try misleading people. I have a 60 Bard on blue, a 46 Bard here, and I've leveled tons of others Bards on eqemu. Sorry but I'm just right about this. Your songs will sometimes drop, they may even often drop, but to say it's impossible to keep 4 songs up in a rotation without any of them dropping is just incorrect. If your timing is good you will see this is possible.

As for which is better (keeping 4 songs or 3 songs up), consistently keeping 3 good songs up is probably better than inconsistently keeping 4 songs up if the 4th song is chorus of clarity or something that doesn't have a huge effect if casted every two ticks. But this is irrelevant to whether it's possible to keep 4 songs up indefinitely. It is possible. I have no reason to lie about this.

edit: I'm sorry if this sounded rude at all, but if you look through this thread as well as the thread I linked in the Bugs forums, you'll see I've repeated the same thing (with proof) about a dozen times only for it to be ignored by people like Kelgar.

The real issue with this "fix" is that now our DoTs are only ticking randomly between 1 and 2 times in PvP. At least before they would tick between 2 and 3 times.

Has this bug been posted in the proper location by the way? I can't say I've noticed this but honestly I rarely use my dots in pvp.

Classic EQ is a source of tears for the WoW generation. Sorry everything isn't convenient.

Proof posted, change implemented. Live with it.
