Spells: 32 Bard Mana song

[gintu01]

I did not play a bard on live, so I am not sure this is broken or WAI.

The level 32 bard song Cassindra's Chorus of Clarity(lucy link - http://lucy.allakhazam.com/spell.htm...23&source=Live)

does not last the same duration as other songs when attempting to twist. The duration according to lucy is 3 ticks(the same as all the other songs). I can keep up 3 songs no problem as long as 1 of them isnt mana song( seems to last half the duration)

(sorry if this has been posted already, I attempted to search for it.)

I know it says 3 ticks, but it always lasted shorted on live as well. Not sure if it was a problem that was never fixed or a description that was incorrect.

You should still be able to twist 3 songs with little difficulty...it is just impossible to twist 4 (and keep them all up) while also twisting mana song.

cheers

Arkanjil is completely right. Its classic to only be able to stack 2 other songs with manasong- 4 without.

Truth

Correct me if i'm wrong, but I seem to remember bard mana song being pulse based, not tick based. As in, every time you see the graphic effect, you gain a little bit of mana - there is no actual buff icon for the spell. I don't remember being able to twist this song at all because you basically have to keep it on all by itself to get the full effect.

An archive.org lookup of castersrealm seems to say the same thing:

The boon and bane of any bards career. The "mana song" will give back a portion of party members mana with each pulse.

Its been a long time so anyone else who remembers better please reply.

Cubehacker is right. It should be pulse based as opposed to a "buff"

Lucy is not reliable at all. Like the earliest things in Lucy are 2003? Or something.

That's from Alla:

However the earliest post on this is 2003, let me do a back date on this.

The mana song was PULSE based. I know this cause i played a bard live. I'm to lazy to research it, and u dont have to take my word. But i know for a fact personally that it was pulse, not buff. The only buff one was later version, think much later.
