How well do bard songs, or bards in general work?
 

On live I was bard, because they are quite clearly the best class. But when I tried out the VZTZ emu server, bards were WAY broken, worse than we ever were on live. Songs would sometimes not land, and it was impossible to even keep up 3 songs all of the time.

Which was no fun :(

Any bards here care to explain how well your class works here on p1999?

thx ily <3

They honestly work pretty darn well compared to the past. You can twist 4 songs safely and swarm kiting is easy. While there can be improvements made, the only really annoying issue I have is having the song cast bar disappear, making me think the song interrupted but really didn't. Other than that it just involves small tweaks in a few areas.

Thank you! That is very good news. I'm getting very excited for this, I hope the red server is able to maintain a good population like the carebear one :D

Fo sho, bard songs work better on here than vz/tz

Charm-kiting doesn't work at all (aggro transfers differently/not at all), and the casting bar occasionally disappears when twisting, but those are the only two bugs that really need to be mentioned.

There's a more comprehensive list on the bug forums: http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...ad.php?t=39422.

All-in-all, bards are working quite well on this server.

There will never be a Red99

Sry

This is true....charm kiting used to be about gathering large groups of mobs, charming one, attacking another, then the pack would jump that mob to take its health down. Here when you charm a mob and tell it to attack another, only those 2 are locked in a quarrel with the rest chasing after you.

Be mindful of that! :p

so.. swarm kiting doesn't work?

;_;

Kind of a gigantic issue because that was the main way to go in velious. I can't see the song bar disappearing issue helping much either.
