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

[Darwoth]

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.

i dont see any word here from my side saying different.

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

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.

Definitely worked on VZTZ, I played a bard and mezpushed big Littlegyno off bee island with it.

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

makes sense now lol

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.

While you're at it, make enchanter mezzes last 3 ticks max.
