Virtuoso song regen

[Lilliana]

According to the newest release notes, Virt II should now give the ability to regen songs, one song per 5 minutes.

I have tried to test this, and as far as I can see the songs regen much faster. This is lovely news, but I would like to know if others see the same as I do and if this is a bug, although a nice one

I went into a wilderness area and sang 2 songs right after each other, I started my stop-watch when I started playing the song and then made a note when the songs would come back.

After 3 minutes the first song would come back and 6 minutes the second song would come back.

I equipped Elyds Edge and the second song would come back faster.
After 3 minutes the first song would come back and after 5 minutes the second song would come back.

I repeated both set-ups a few times to make sure.

I wonder if this is WAI or not?

while you are at it you should test with more songs and over a longer time periode. To get useable data i think it would have to be over 10 min at least

But good work so far.

After 2:55 minutes (2 minutes and 55 seconds) the first song would come back.
After 5:55 (5 minutes and 55 seconds) the second song would come back.

After 2:55 minutes the first song would come back.
After 4:55 the second song would come back.

I repeated both set-ups a few times to make sure.

Lol

Actually, it's not as per the notes, but that isn't overpowered IMO. I'm hoping they keep it like that.
It's about the same regen rate as the radiant servant stuff, but still slower than, say, smite regens or something.
1 every 5min is too slow IMO. It's the reason nobody uses Elyd's Edge currently.


*edit* - PS, given all the other things broken with Virtuosos, I think Turbine owes it to us to leave this ability "broken" as well. Actually, if they could break it a little bit further, that'd be greatly appreciated.

After 3 minutes the first song would come back and after 5 minutes the second song would come back.

From what I understand Elyd's Edge is supposed to be a seperate regen timer (believe the Eladrin said 'seperate channel' on that). But I thought EE took longer then 5 mins to regen a song. Maybe it has been sped up to 5 mins now.

You wish is my command :P

I played 4 songs right after each other and started the stop-watch when I started playing the first song.

After 3 minutes the first song came back.
After 6 minutes the second song came back.
After 9 minutes the third song came back.
After 12 minutes the fourth song came back.

This looked interesting and I took a new round with 10 songs missing.
They came back in this way (Elyds is equipped):

3 min
5 min
6 min
9 min
10 min
12 min
15 min (2 songs returned)
18 min
20 min

As far as I can see the natural Virt regen and Elyds edge are running on seperate timers (which also fit what MrkGrismer is saying above).

Elyds Edge on a 1 song every 5 minutes timer and
Virtuoso's natural regen on a 1 song every 3 minutes timer.

Awesome. Hopefully WAI.

Edit: Actually I would like to see:

Virt 1: Songs regen at a rate of 1 song every 6 minutes
Virt 2: Song regen improves to a rate of 1 song every 3 minutes.

Future: Virt 3: Virts can enthrall/caper without using a song but the dc is 1/2 the normal amount. This was close to A_D's idea (as far as I remember).
