Vulka's Chant of Flame
|
just thought i would post the useful info that this being the first song you get for turning in your glowing runes
Why would you even think about comparing a bard with a necro? Why would you compare a bard to any other class? We are a class of our own. We are a jack of all trades, a master at none. We don't specialize in any one thing, we get to do alittle of everything. You want to be a dotter, make a necro. We are a SUPPORT class. We greatly increase the killing power of the GROUP.
Anyone else feel this song is a bit underpowered?
it is 9 damage more than our Tuyen's line, even with a mod of 4.0, thats a mere 36 damage increase a tick(6dps). With ALL of the new chants together, we're seeing(with the theoretical 4.0 mod), 832 damage a tick(whereas necros get >>ONE<< spell that does 800 a tick in omens, before Dot increasers) all together the necro can put nearly 3k of dots on his target, then sit back and wait/med, since theirs last longer than 3 ticks.
PLUS, because of the debuff on this line, bards dots will not stack, whereas all of a necro's stacks with each other, a group of 6 necro's could be doing 3-5k worth of dps between them and pets. I would really be looking to see this spell increased by a bit, so bards can at least compete with other classes.
I know that the spells are still in test, which is why im posting this... it needs to be raised.

Edyll, did you happen to read "Resist: Fire (-50)" in the spell description? That is another thing that makes this better than the previous fire based DoT. It is harder to resist.
If you have a percussion modifier (I hope you do have a drum or mod if you're a real Bard), then the damage is amplified more than the number in the spell description.

we are bards not necros... yes it isnt perfect yes I would like better so my chant kites are quicker... but besides PoF where else you going to chant kite <they broke KT>.... its nice for its usage but better to just get a group nowwa days.... less they give us something beter
yes, i agree... but the idea is this spell will barely be worth owning, as it is so small of an upgrade. I find myself chanting in groups and while swarm kiting. Often in caster based groups, its better dps to do a chant/weapon twist, but with all the new stuff for other classes coming out, we'll fall behind. Which is why i was saying i hope we get good AA, since we dont have nearly any damage mitigation, not the dps we're supposed to, and so on. Not complaining, merely criticizing.

actully i belive that was the intention of SOE. they feel we are overpowered atm, where i can solo in nadox, one kite will get me nearly 3 aa's. they nerfed it tho..no more AE kiting, and they are nerfing us in general...it sux...but life will go on.
Yes now you will have to join a group and help the rest of us with all of your great bard skills instead of swarm kiting a whole zone and getting massive amounts of xp in short periods of time by yourself

While I agree that aoe kiting was overpowered, they didnt have to nerf it so severely. They could have easily made nadox like HoH where only a few mobs will follow you once aggro'd, but no, they felt the need to make a songline almost worthless. This expansion has brought almost nothing new for bards. Sure we get a couple decent aa, and they're only decent. None of the songs are anything special, most arent worth getting, only one actual new song, the rest are the same ones we already have with numbers changed.
But whatever, however much this upsets me, its not enough to make me quit.
