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

but always remember you should.

always have at least 2 or 3 in your inventory. one for you. one for a pal. and one for emergency.

Trust me I always carry them and I'll always have them on my bar when I'm not out of stock. That still has nothing to do with my opinion about it.

Missing clicking a certain potion still shouldn't allow a Class CC you forever with no resist check.

It doesnt seem like that should work that way but i do remember at times getting perma mezzed by bards, i think the song also had a push back and they culd would move me around the zone

I remember perma mez with ancient bard mez in velious - and pretty much wanted to quit the game after seeing a release like that.

dont know if thats how bard songs worked or not, but it didnt matter due to the fact bard snare and mez was not a factor on anyone with mr gear, when under the resistance system 150+ mr results in being snared every engagement anyway the previous non issue becomes one.

dont think bard supported zerger squads of shadowknights need any MORE power behind them in the form of a bard standing there playing snare song being the equivalent of a deathtouch.

lol you're the first person to ever say that to me.

[Crazerous]

makes sense now lol

[Softcore PK]

Bards have been op since the beginning of time, pvp and pve :P

Yes this was classic, and yes it was mostly a non-issue at high end because mez never ever landed. Until ancient mez was introduced.. unresistable!

Solution: mez on players should have a resist check every cast of the song. Also, make it a bit harder to land than enchanter mez.. enchanters can't recast it at no mana cost every 3 seconds like bards can.

It did have a push back but I don't think it's ever worked on an EQEmu server.

But bard mez has always been shitty if you get caught unprepared and completely alone (if you don't want to make friends then get used to it). You can mez/debuff someone completely down. You can mez/regen yourself if it's a 1v1. There's a million bard tactics and a bunch of them involve mez. The bard probably won't be able to kill you but it can definitely fuck with you. That's been the bard's m.o. since the dawn of time. They only get more annoying/dangerous come Kunark.

Now, with 160 MR, I do agree there should be a lot of resists woven in there.

On live, back in the day, if a bard mezzed you, the best option as a wizard was to /q. The first IC or SS that your now mez immune wizard casts would kill most bards.

People have been crying about bards for years. Bards are pests, and that's it. Welcome to EverQuest.
