Bard AA's on SoD
 

Hi

I've recreated my old (live) 65th level bard with all his equipment having found that he still had a Magelo profile and have been enjoying revisiting some old haunts on my private server. I've found a couple of issues with AAs (I am using the steam SoD client - the original one when it appeared, not the recent repatched one).

1) Boastful bellow will only fire if I'm not singing something. I am (fairly) sure that it could be activated at any time on live, even while in the middle of twisting.

2) Fading Memories appears to do nothing. I get a caster animation and see that spell 5243 is attempted to be cast, but I don't go invis, and don't lose any mana. I also think the same issue as 1) is present, i.e. I should be able to fade while singing something else but cannot. I see the code has, in AA.cpp,
but I don't get that message on the client...

I want to get this working, and I am a coder by profession though haven't done C++ for aeons, but before I start messing around I wanted to ask what the state of play of this was with the devs and whether anyone was already working on it. I saw a note from KLS saying she was working through the issues but nothing after that and I do appreciate that there are always amazing amounts of work to be done :)

I play on PEQ TGC and Fading Memories does work as long as you are not singing.

My bard is still a couple AA from getting it, but other bards in the guild have told me to get it because it does work.

bump
 

bump this fading memories still does not work properly,

-- costs mana --
-- works anytime/ cast anytime --
-- does not fd you --
-- instant de-aggro..... with spells hitting you , reaggro of those mobs and those mobs in range --

i think its 1 sec recast time or such


boastful bellows work anytime even in the middle of a song or twist

eq's /melody works just like /twist mq style except /twist works with missed notes?

exultant bellowing doesnt give u an aa hotkey

plz fix bards

bards have lots of problems. but fading memories does now drop aggro and invis and cost mana.

pretty much all bard AA need to be activated after a /stopsong. Has to do with the casting and song systems not playing nice with each other. same to use a clicky effect.
