While I am sure a quick kludge can be in place for the next patch, any research on the proper duration of stuns in pvp (and how they interact with with bard epic) would be appreciated.

seems like the epic is amplifying the duration and damage of the stun

8 sec x 1.8 = 14.4 sec

gonna be real hard to find data on this as there were few pvp bard back in the day , and im sure this one never landed so no1 used it

trading tstaff for bard epic MQ pst

Are bard chants not subject to pvp spell damage reduction?

Chant of flame on player = 36 damage
Chant of flame on npc = 55 damage

222 * 1.8 * 0.67 = 267.732

pvp spell reduction is taken into account

CAN'T BELIEVE THIS ISN'T FIXED YET!

No mmo in history had a class with a 14 sec hard to resist stun! That's a guaranteed death for a 3 sec ability that can be used by a lightning speed class while running.

Wanna know why pop is so dismal, SHIT LIKE THIS!

Your just gonna leave an I win button like none ever seen in any game without a fix for god knows how long.

This is more than a slap in the face to anyone who plays red it's a kick to the nuts!

I feel your pain. One day the server will get patched, one day. :(

Find it amusing how this was never fleshed out untill after months of complaining about Tstaffs/Windstrikers/Skeans, Denon's, and Highsun

It's because there were no great pvp bards on the server who were actively out there with killsquads. You had Lite and crew but it was always 5 wizards against Lite + whomever else and plugging happened quickly into KC/DL. Very little pvp really happened elsewhere. I can't think of another lvl 60 bard on the pvp side that would have been 'discovering' this and using it against the vocal majority of the server.
