Marcato

I don't see the hate...allows you a near 2h song every 10minutes, so it lines perfectly with Night/Troub...so you basically sing 2 sets of songs every 10m and for 6:xx of those your targets have half a SV...what's the problem? There are far bigger issues than an ability like this, especially when it has its uses.

And yeah, looks like Lv.95 will make it so GHorns last usefulness (squeezing a bit more out of Scherzo) will go away.

We'll have Emp 46% scherzo and relic 49% scherzo, Base singing/wind/string skill is 345 at 95. So 110 skill needed to cap it.

**Edit**

Bad news everyone. There was an update to the test server today and Marcato is now +50% to songs instead of double :( Still 10 min recast.

Animated Horn X10 for 95 G.horn.
1500x Plates of Heavy Metal for 95 Daurdabla
Long-Bowed Chariot X3 for 95 Carnwenhan

The magian moogle does not show the stats of the 95 versions of relics/mythics/emps on the test server, just the the requirements.

Yellow boxes :O

Meh, it should still allow for non-SV'd Marches, but it would do so for any instrument again making GHorn useless, lol. (Was nice being able to hit so close to Magic cap without SV prior to this)

If that is the level 95 stat of Ghorn then I am disappointed. Daurdabla closed the gap yet again.

...I'm scared. >.<

Also Reain, I think Scherzo with Emp. would cap at 46%? Skill would make 45% with Af3+2 Feet for 46%?

Kinda sad that Daurdabla didn't get any additional skill like Gjallarhorn :/ But the extra 5% duration will be nice.

The fact that they did this leads me to believe that the dev. team still thinks Brd's are contemplating whether which instrument (Daurdabla vs. Gjallarhorn) is better for debuffing... <__<

/sigh

Head's up on Test Server updates that apply to a bard friends:
The recast time for Pianissimo and Tenuto have been shortened to 5 seconds.
Also, the effects of Marcato have been adjusted.

Try 'em out!

interesting

Marcato seems to be roughly 50% better than a regular song.

ehhh

Ah yes I was dumb and read Song effect +1 as All songs +1 instead of 3rd song. I'm disappointed G.horn didnt get All songs +4 at 95.

Oh I misread that too... But then there's no difference between the 90 and the 95 if that's the case.
