Not A Bug Bard Chant Damage

    The new Bard disease chant (Coagulus Chant of Disease) is listed as having a base damage of 4922. However it appears to be actually coded to be closer to 4465.

    Confirmed now the Cold chant is behaving the same way as the Disease chant... delivering less damage than the text states.

    After further investigation, the base damage of the song appears to be coded correctly, but the new set of songs cap out the bard instrument mod lower than the decades standing 36 level.

    Some numbers: Max ToV AA bard + Improved Chants 51
    NO gear:
    Yelinak's Chant of Frost Rk. III (4688 base damage) = 51537 damage
    Sylra Fris Chant of Frost (4922 base damage) = 54112 damage

    With ONLY 3.6 Instrument mod + Spell DMG: 11 (Mistmoore Battle Drums)
    Yelinak's Chant of Frost Rk. III (4688 base damage) = 131612 damage
    Sylra Fris Chant of Frost (4922 base damage) = 126165 damage

    I think this is not a bug. Chant songs have different max focus depending on rank since 2009.

    Rank I - 320%
    Rank II - 340%
    Rank III - 360%

    You are comparing a III vs I and just now noticing the difference it seems.

    Ahh yea group level songs do not benefit from as much instrument focus as rk 3 songs do.
    ok well like he said then.
