Sonic Blast Change

[DRoark]

So, whining about it is being smart, I see ......

That was an observation, but we know you get confused.

Putting an ability in a new tree, free or paid (for all you "but... but... it's free!" people), that necessitates a massive change to a base spell, is rather nonsensical.

Hey there, Devs.

I play Wardawn on Aggro. I've played a bard as every race.. I've actually played over 40 some lives as a bard. You can probably say that I like bards.

I did not ask for Stormsinger to be added. Because I felt that Spell Singer as a damaging spell type was effective enough. And some of these lives were before Sonic Spell Damage rebalancing, and even the addition of Sonic Blast spell to the game. I do believe that AoE level 1 spells exist for other classes. Burning hand's and acid spray. Each highly effective if used by the right type of Wiz/Sorc.

My 2 cents into the whole thing? Find a better way to balance Sonic Blast than to change it off AoE. Please don't give us BS about it being a single target spell in print, because DDO's VASTLY different than any single type of DnD game in print. You guys made that decision ages ago to be different from PnP. I do believe that AoE level 1 spells exist for other classes. Burning hand's and acid spray. Each highly effective if used by the right type of Wiz/Sorc.

Balance down the spell damage since it was raised. Balance the cost of the SLA to cover the damage.

Since there was no reason to adjust the spell's AOE before Stormsingers were introduced, I'd rather see Storm bards removed than Sonic Blast being removed. Remove the real problem causing aspect.

Pretty obvious it's NOT A BARD SPELL EITHER.

Revert it, then take it and the SLA away from bards and give them songbird instead.

Heh ... can you support asking them to at least tag it as an arcane spell now that it has regular arcane level 1 spell damage/effect?
