I like your kitty.

Ensua, who has inept dramatics, a maestro instrument and gifted necroscream does this:


And with achromatic aura on me, this:

I think Krellan is just an outside factor. He's a bloody demigod, after all, probably with trans magic. Incidently, mine is inept.

He's a moondancer, don't even bother trying magic damage on them.

Bards *should* get some way of doing non-magic damage. Magic resistance is far too widespread.

Also, there isn't much difference, it seems, for someone like Ensua and someone like Kaervas:

Oh, right. I'll use that fire attack that I have. That'll work.
...wait, what?

You're bitching about your magic attack not doing enough damage to a moondancer, I'm pointing out that moondancers hardly get hurt by magic? There's no need to try and be a smartass.

If any of these do go through, please don't call the skill "tuning." That would be entirely contrary to the skill of minorsecond - if it wasn't in tune, it wouldnt BE a minor second.

Probably the same as Moonburst. It's not a Bard problem, it's a Moondancer being tanky as crap against Magic dmg. Furrikin moonies are worse. You literally cannot kill a furrikin moony with magic dmg if they have an autosipper.

Welcome to my world. My magic-boost arti just happens to be the middle level.

It would be fun if Colorburst did damage to mobs! Then I could use my rainbow powers!

And I could bash without first questing/weeviling up ~20k gold.

I hate when I miss that there's a second (or even more) page and my response to the last post on page one looks like a total non-sequitur since it's quoteless. >_<

I'm not being a smartass, that was kind of my point.
The fact that Bards rely on damage kills (mostly) means it's hard to kill anything with a 100% magic attack.
I mean, versus a Moondancer, you'd be getting slapped around by fae, making the timed instakill hard enough to pull off without adding in the whole earwort thing. And damage kills are nigh-impossible too?

Being a bard yourself (albeit a demigod bard), you should have noticed this, surely?
Sorry, Kae-kae.

Really, 100% of any damage type is a bad idea.
Moonburst should probably be 50% cold or something.
Not that it's not super hurty as is.

They don't.

Though I agree minorsecond needs its damage type changed.

I think Visaeris tried to envoy it being 50% magic, 50% psychic.

Not that it's a great idea, in foresight. Hello, Kephera Moonies.

God forbid damage resistance is worth anything. Not like pretty much everyone has an instakill of some sort.

In groups, it's easier, sure.
But if you're being hit by ents or a demesne, getting the instakill off is fairly tricky.

I'm not sure how bards are balanced now.. but you shouldn't really be working on damage kills. You'll never be able to compete with high level or top tier fighters if that's your tactic.

That's kind of my point.
Though, to be fair, I managed to off Narsrim through damage.

...he's also a bard. What does that tell you?

the only way to compete with anyone of higher level ive discovered...im a Harbinger in Glomdoring...is to trans Shadowbeat, or w/e the other specialization is, becasue then you can just cause instant death, and that could prove to be useful
