4. I'll agree that it's a pretty high amount, but nightshadeblues is, as mentioned, a core skill and it's a high stanza, which means it's essentially dead when your side's bard (as Xiel did) fugues. As Ciaran said, adjusting bard skills is not an easy process. I won't say that the skill by itself is instantly OP, though - you entered the fight making it easy for Urazial. His songs were merrily hitting you without any effort on his part.

Perhaps a look at what all nsb hits wouldn't be out of line. I was under the impression it was just skills you yourself did, such as clot, focus, and not afflictions. Feel free to envoy it to make that the case, since it seems perfectly reasonable and would be a quick and easy band-aid for it.


That's the problem. When you can passively take someone from full to red (or instakill) mode within a few seconds without even doing anything, there is an issue.

Was there error on my part, certainly. That doesn't change the fact that passively draining someone to an instakill level in 6 seconds, which is easy to do even -had- I been deaf and Urazial needed to blanknote me (which he was doing), is OhPea.

And then we can nerf skills that boost balance/eq and...um...that one Cantor...thing. You know, that thing.

SS are still a bit on the OP side, Cantors still suck, but this is the closest bards have been to balanced since their release. We don't need to obliterate them via envoys.

Well, groups are a bitch!

I dunno, I thought it was a pretty good fight.

I have no issue with Succumb or NightshadeBlues. The latter is required for Harb's to be even able to dent other classes. You're fighting in a group. Balancing group combat is kind of silly as well, unless its for an extreme like Choke, Insta-Sac, and so forth. Otherwise, you're just herding cats. Most of Narsrim's points above are pretty much spot on.

No reason not to be deaf with this last blanknote nerf.

edit: be thankful you didn't have manabarbs!
