That bard champion weapons were insanely overpowered, but now he's shown they were 5X's too overpowered.

Thank god that man can add... THANK GOD!

I seriously have no idea what he's talking about. My champ arty was only adding a couple hundred damage. Was it only supposed to add 50 damage?

I'm doing a little more then half of what I used to do. About 1k with my champ arty and 16 int. Unacceptable, time to get envoying.

Hey, so that's what the problem was the whole time?

Nice! Now just fix the transfix-stun string, and bards are completely fixed!

Yup, after that, no one will ever die to bards again

Or you'll have to learn to fight like the rest of the champions

Yeah, all I have to do is get people to not regen the damage I do.

Then, after that, I'll just find a way to slow down sipping health using my MIND POWERS.

I mean, really, am I missing something obvious, that everyone knows but me that lets glamours bards slow people's curing (especially health sipping) down at all?

When you do 350 damage per second, do you need to slow down health sipping? I mean...oh noes, you can't drop people in three hits anymore?

Um... yes?

No.

Uh... right.

350/sec? I'm not sure, but I think I can regen/sip/sparkle that off with my mercy + Body x 3 Mantra chanting

Don't Cantors get that 50% chance of no eating/sipping skill?

Its been nerfed to 33%, and can be completely coded around. It doesn't slow down decent systems at all. The only time its useful is in aeon. Which is in tarot. I do have a song that can do aeon, but it costs 3p. You'd have to use it twice to *maybe* actually get aeon on the person. Plus, if you're using that song, you give up all the higher octave skills.

Cosmicfire outpaces healing. Bard damage is still greater than cosmicfire. Therefore, bard damage outpaces sipping. Pretty simple.

Whose healing? O_o

You're making it out to be much more powerful than it actually is. Outside of aeon, it's almost like a stupidity effect - you see it, know it prevented sipping, and immediately reset sip balance. Shouldn't delay you more than 1/10 of a second.

Uh.......

It can outpace people with a fire penalty, Myndaen was hitting me for 1000 damage as an aslaran with cosmicfire.

The canticle song was designed more around tarot, and I think it probably works better with tarot than glamors. And 33% is a good enough chance of it firing. 33% sometimes turns into 10 times in a row, so it should be good enough.

There is a 1/59049 chance of that happening.

Yeah same with an absorption rune kicking in tons times in a row, but it still happens. I don't mean it is the norm though. Although, 2-3 times in a row is common. Well 2 in row was common for me to see it, 3 a bit rarer.
