more bard song probs

If 1 of my bard buff songs land just as another 1 is wearing off the freshly casted one wears off with the old one

Please post exactly what buffs/songs you were using to do this. I need more specifics, because although it seems all songs should work the same, they do not. I need to look at it in more detail, and if it is only happening with some songs, me spending an hour trying to find the right combination of songs, is not going to happen

To piggy back this there is an issue where you are 4 twisting... Every now and again 2 songs will drop at the same time, instead of 1.. meaning one song only lasted 3 ticks as opposed to four. Ill fraps it in an hour or so.

At least we are making progress. We are now trying to get 4 twisting working better.

Oh Crap!

Anyways. Back to songs ending short. It would be more helpful to know which songs end short. Because I have some ideas of what it could be, but I would have to see what songs are ending short first, to be sure.

I can confirm this, happens when you twist in a song and it lands right about the same moment the old one drops. Was using a similar lineup of songs, Hymn of Restoration/Jonthans Whistling Warsong/Anthem/Chords of Dissonance twist. I'll look at it more closely tomorrow on which specific songs it happens with but have a feeling it's a general issue.

Bard twist bug

Did a bit more testing, coming to the same conclusion as my original statement. Happened with multiple songs, specifically for the time I tested with Anthem and Warsong. Pretty sure it's some type of issue with the removal of the bard song.

Do bards get items that lower casting times for songs?

It looks like the casting time is just long enough, that you cannot keep 4 songs going. I am not sure if there are any other mechanics involved, but I will see what I can figure out.

Bards never get an item that allows that.

But to answer you even though you didn't really ask..

Twisting 4 songs is assuming that at every point before the 4th song ends you will be twisting 3 songs, but you are getting about 3 seconds of a 4 twist so its worth it.
