What's Broken with Bard Enhancements?

[Panzermeyer]

So I have seen enough on the forums to know that there are some things that are broken in the Bard Enhancements.

I am currently running up my first bard, and I am curious what those things are so I can plan my enhancements appropriately.

Can anyone please enlighten me to the things that are not working as per the descriptions.

None of the extra song enhancements in spellsinger add any additional songs. The first tier additional song enhancement in warchanter does, so grab it if you want more songs.

There's more, I just know this one's a issue. :)

Only don't be fooled; it's on T1 but it requires Bard 3

Songs are all long-cast now, making buffing annoying. Capering may be fixed in the patch.

WC boosts are laughable, and largely replaced with items - their capstone gives a +6 competence bonus to damage .. replaced by Deadly, etc.

Spellsinger core Music of the Sewers, Dead and Maker CD17 are resisting DC over 100 and if it does land it only last 30 seconds.

Many songs are not getting affected by song duration increasing abilities/enhancements. (Inspire recklessness only lasts for 3 minutes, no increase even with the lasting inspiration feat)

The song for GH does not buff the group. Song of Capering takes about 3 years to finish singing.

Wow ... all my posts sound so bitter. Yet, I still love playing bards :)

Found these ones yesterday;

Skaldic Rage - 3 min base duration not 30 secs.

Song of Heroism - Single target not party wide buff. With 17 levels in Bard tooltip advises base duartion as 2 min 12 sec, actual base duration is 2 min 42 sec, via tooltip duration should be 9 min.

Gathering Cold - Adds +2 cold resistance not +1 per tier.

Boast - Ranks 2 and 3 add no additional temporary hit points (base duration is 2 min if you where wondering).

Words of Encouragement - Does not add any bonus temporary hit points.

Ironskin Chant - Tooltip advises base duartion as 1 min 6 sec, actual base duration is 2 min 42 sec.

Howl of the North - With 10ish min's of testing could not see any increase in damage with vorpal crits over non-vorpal crits.

Musical Studies - Does not give bonus Bard songs.


Tested each tree on my ship so no targets for testing fascinates etc (tho they appear to work in adventures for me) and that is all I found.
