Bard Song of Capering = Way OP

[Chai]

I was in PvP and I got danced by a bard with a 70 Perform from across the pit.

Across the pit. 70 Perform. 30 Will + a 19 roll = 49.

70-49=21 ... 21+19=40 ... I can't roll a 40 to save.

This also bypassed my Mantle and my Ioun Stone.

Especially the case if they're able to whip out a Manyshot + Slayer Arrows.

Repeat after me. Dungeons and Dragons is not a balanced game.

Fact: You gravitated to the most powerful option which can kill 95% of all builds easily. Someone else in the 5% of all builds you have a hard time killing has an equalizer they can use to keep you honest.

This is not any more OP than having an arcane that can heal itself that is immune to alot of things and can stop PVP foes cold or kill them in one shot as fast if not faster than they can stop you cold or kill you in one shot.

Please stop hinting and just get rid of PvP if you're going to do this, Turbine.

This is probably the best suggestion you have ever made regarding PVP.

Ever.

You don't need to roll a 40. You save on a 20, no matter how much better than you the bard is.

The 70 perform was a typo, at the time it was at 72, and I max out at 74, 41 cha till I can get my litany then a nice round 75, anywho I didn't check my roll last night but coulda been a 92, this is an epic grind toon, also AA, it wasn't easy to make it happen but as squishy as bards are I still wanted to do respectable damage and not get my face smashed in by epic mobs, seems he....like my ranger are both pretty viable for giving Dispel a good run. I was wondering how long it would take him to throw this up. Wanna laugh even more.... I told Tyrr****** , the WF he is talking about that was there, I wonder how long before he tries do do a palemaster build, and in less than five minutes I got a tell from him asking if there was any way I knew of, for a sorc to go palemaster.....classic....

you've got to be kidding me.... this is /sarcasm right?



this isnt a PVP game kiddo... its not balanced for pvp... hence the weird pvp actions.

[MysteryNotes]

This made me lol.

"Omfg he killed me! This is soooo totally unfair i should be able to kill everyone else! Nerf them!"

[-Nismu-]

and if this were pvp game answers here would be something like "QQ L2P" with or without lol .

The phiarlan shield you get as reward once completed the carnival chain quest, has 5 charges. Those charges absorb all enh spells, even bard songs. Go, find one

Interested to see if this works.

I'll get it but I hear the bard song that takes less than a second to sing has a mere 3 second cooldown.

Here's hoping I can get them before they can get me.

[bendover]

Everything that I wanted to say has been mentioned so I'm going to sum up...









This is just priceless. So totally priceless.

I've been thinking about a bard myself. Thought about a warchanter but I may just go virt now. Have other projects right now but I may move this one up to a front burner.



I agree. I'll make a Warchanter and buff you with songs.

Well just hit me up for a guild invite .

[Xeraphim]

I lol'd.

Hard.

[jingseng]

wait, so all it takes to be a "PvP expert" is to whine about nerfing anything you can't beat?

Can we get a bard and an arcane archer (or better yet, and I can't believe I'm saying this, a Bardcane Bardcher) dance this guy, and then use slayer arrows on him?

[Kominalito]

nerf pvp. no spells, no attrib bonuses, just everyone armed with wet toilet paper projectiles. but haxorific is allowed to have mace, a tazer, a bowie knife, a handgun, a bear trap, a prox mine, chicken wire, a ... ... ...

[camels]

love how he keeps raising the bar higher for the pro-Trolls........

[adam1oftheround]

I think it is OAI

[hityawithastick]

Why isn't H4x on Khyber already? I need a new punching bag.

At one time, long long ago, before the darkness came, there used to be a certian element of pvp that was kind of fun. WF caster battles with guys jumping all over the place, tossing scorching rays, sleet storming, then reconstructing. Melee builds would actually bang it out without tripping, stunning, etc. Stat damagers and vorpals were generally not used. PWS and dancing was considered "noob-ish" and at times, a player who resorted to those tactics was generally unwelcome. There was, for the most part, a set of unwritten rules most people held to. Basically, at least on Khyber, pvpers usually tested their skills, builds, and gear against similar toons to see how they measured up, at leat to some part. Sure, sometimes there were a few battles that were "anything goes", but most of the time, not really.

Then came THE EXCITING CHANGE and the pits are now full of WF casters with ion stones, who PWS, irresistable dance, then scorching ray their hapless victimes. They then decalre themselves "KING" and state "I am the top PVP'er on this server".

To me, folks that play that way are the same kind of people that cheat at solitaire.

Pfft but then people would have to rely on pvp skill instead of just pushing a button for 800dmg in an aoe. as if....

[Geonis]

I can't believe I actually agree with something you said.....

just get rid of PvP

[h4x0r1f1c]

I'm no longer worried about the bard Song of Capering but to anyone else this could prove to be OP.

For their sake I'll still wish this to be nerfed but as for myself I'm set. /thread

[hityawithastick]

I object to your thread closure.
