Bard

[leftovers5]

For Bards.

I'm not sure if there's any reason behind this, but Bard's are only able to use DropTheBass while in a party. I don't know if this is intentional, or just something that was overlooked. If there is a reason for this just let me know.

This is intentional, drop the bass was meant to be a support skill and they did not want it to become a personal safefall for bards. So you need to be in a party to use it.

I think Bard is 100% balanced but what about HealingChorus, it only heals 50hp?! That is absolutely terrible, yes I know that there is a Dispel, which only Dispels one thing but for some reason HealingChorus also comes with a Stamina Cost (This was added this map, I don't know why) and a mana cost making it very situational and a pretty terrible skill. I suggest reverting it back to a 100hp heal like it was last map making it a somewhat viable heal, or at least remove the stamina cost on it.

Eh... I'd say 75, not 100.

 

[TheMrLief]

I don't see a reason to not go all the way to 100 with this, 50 was just completely garbage and 70 isn't much better.

 

[Licksterboy]

I always thought healingchorus was OP (It's not obviously) because it stops my DoTs (Bloodmage) but I understand why you'd want it to be buffed. 50 is a bit low, so like you said, probably 75 or 100 hp would be good.

 

[TheMrLief]

It dispels 1 skill, bloodmage is a iffy class anyways.

I personally think bard provides enough support, between warsong, manasong, aoe silence, aoe slow, accelarando, drop the bass and aoe dispel/heal. I think a 100 heal is far too much of a heal, it would put them in ranks with desciples. Maybe have it remove 2 effects instead of 1 so it will most likely remove all negative effects.

 

[TheMrLief]

50hp Is barely even half a heart for most classes, it doesn't affect fights whatsoever other than dispelling one thing. As I did say above I do think bard is balanced, but this skill is useless as a heal.

I can not say for certain the original intention for the skill's use but i have always though of it as anti-cc not a heal, in my opinion the renaming to healing chorus was not the most fitting choice. This is my opinion because in a fight someone will say healingchorus/chackra, i am cc'ed, not i need more health.

One of desciple's strongest skills is chackra because of the instant heal and dispel effect. I do not think that bard should have a healong chorus that is among the ranks of chackra especially considering that bard is not a healer. Bard provides party buffs and aoe support and damage.

This is my own personal opinion of the purpose of healingchorus and i am not saying i am right, just what i believe.

It might be true that bard isn't a healer, but the skill is meant for healing, might I remind you Bard is the main support class on the server, specializing in all kinds of support and healing is a type of support.

No point in giving them a heal that just removes cc and doesn't actually heal, I'd be more okay if it just removed more negative effects for my party.

I've always thought healing chorus was a bit off so I'll have to agree with lief on this one. It either needs a larger heal, more debuff power, or no stamina cost.
