I'm disgusted with the bard nerf.

I don't worry over changes like this that come down to a difference of 10% or less... Bards I've played with mostly don't keep RoD up as much as I do, and even I don't keep it up constantly. I really only use it when there are 3 or more enemies, usually when I get a TP-free shot from that other AoE we have (yes, I know--I''m a terrible player). There's really no point in using it on a single or duo mob that will die quickly anyway. Now, in speed runs, yeah, it's useful, but you usually can't do that unless you have someone casting sleep anyway, eh? Either way, I'm not bothered.

It's more to keep the big hits down. Think Titan or rage-moding ADS. The main theme of these adjustments seem to be making sure we can't nerf Bosses' big hits down to more manageable levels. No more virus rotations, no ROD etc.

Ah, okay. No one has ever requested that of me, nor have I ever noticed anyone doing that. I rarely see a BRD using RoD during Titan. But, I am a 2.0 player, so I'm still learning. And, what you pointed out does make sense. I guess it doesn't matter now, though.

Me thinks fireballs might actually start to hurt again. .... might.

[Synestra]

Adding lets say +5% more DMG taken debuff to RoD would have made more sense imo, afterall the skill name is Rain of Death.

[Seraphita]

Rain of Death = Rain of Fail.
Bard just got boned.
Guess I won't be using it much anymore...
Thankfully it is just an alt and I didn't spend any myth on it yet. lol

This isn't a heavy nerf at all. I use my BRD for turns 1 and 2 and I doubt I will be asked to come as anything else. It's a damage reduction in cross-classed abilities and the loss of one debuff.

They could have easily swung the nerf-bat harder. They could have made Blunt Arrow have only a chance of silence or even given it another debuff altogether.

Don't give them any ideas please.

Since Yoshi commented on the housing issue, did he touch on this subject today monring during the youtube patch note?
