Game Mechanics: Consolidated Bard Issues

GOD ID LOVE TO TRIPLE TASH OR TRIPLE DS...

why does this get ignored?

if some more data / proof / claims etc needs to be proven.. ill gladly dig, but there hasnt been a single dev / gm etc post in this thread in almost 2 years now, regrouping each and most the bard issues

[Haynar]

Bards are tough to code with. Not many devs have worked with a lot of that code. And i have pretty much taken a 2 year break, and finished a masters and had 2 more kids added to my family.

I am working through bugs. Will get to Bard after I finish fd, snare, dot interactions. That code is abt 80% done. Then I am going to fix the Velious porting spells to require appropriate quest items. Then if nothing major comes up, will take a peek at what is going on with bards.

There. A dev has posted.

bump for other smaller posts seems to be worked on

WOuld like to add my bug to the pile of them - Selo's Song of Travel drop whenever a new song without invis component is cast, so because most songs drop the invis component of Selo's song of Travel, one cannot simple twist Selo's and anything else without falling out of the sky.

Selo song of travel should drop, because it is also an invis song.

Use the Lvl 5 Selo if you want to twist something with speed

This.

Selos song of travel IMO is pretty crappy.

I hate spells that they roll the speed and invis into one buff. Cause if you lose one layer of your "defense", the invis, you also lose the second layer, your fast runspeed.

Druids eventually got a group invis Cheetah AA that had the exact same issue. It was lame.

wasnt there a thread in server chat with some old links to selo / sow stacking and how it should also overwrite root? ill look for em later.. if u can find em before ill add it with a lil piece of evidence

Ya selo's would overwrite root, at the very least with a drum for quite a while. Not sure if that made it into Velious.

[Daldaen]

That was fixed early velious.

The snare/root stacking patch changed lots of movement speed buffs.

Torpor + SoW shouldn't stack currently but it does.
Torpor + Root shouldn't stack either.
Selos + SoW/JBoots shouldn't stack (IE you shouldn't be able to bury SoW in slot 15 and keep that 50% Runspeed if selos gets dispelled)

I'm sure there are other examples.

I was playing songs on my bard... and saw the instrument animations from another character.

Coming soon....
