    Beimeith,

    You said "It's not a bug and its not a downgrade. It's a different focus effect that works differently." Can you point me to an explanation of how this is supposed to work then? The other Latent slots have all been upgrades and I don't understand how this could possibly be an upgrade. It seems to be a horrible downgrade.

    I appreciate the response, but just stating that its not a downgrade doesn't address my (and pretty much everyone else) concern. Thanks,

    Aatmaa

    The new bp focus increases the base damage of the spell.

    Also I find the wurm saddle is still slower than it was when I first bought it over a year ago. I saved up 3 months of SC for that thing.. sucks!

    Pyre of Marnek Rk. II is 3,491 damage/tick

    CotF T1 Fire Focus (Arms) increases Fire damage by 46-70%.

    46 + 70 = 116 / 2 = 58% average focus.

    3,491 * .58 = 2,024 damage/tick added.

    3,491 + 2,024 = 5,515 damage/tick average



    RoF T4 Marnek Focus (BP) increases Marnek by 45-80% and takes priority over the arm focus.

    45+80 = 125 / 2 = 62.5% average focus.

    3,491 * .625 = 2,181 damage/tick added

    3,491 + 2,181 = 5,672 average pre-crit.

    Passive crit rate with full AAs and Epic 2.5 is 79%.
    Passive crit damage with full AAs is +315%

    5,672 * 4.15 = 23,538 damage/tick average post-crit

    5,672 * .21 = 1,191
    23,538 * .79 = 18,595

    1,191 + 18,595 = 19,786 damage/tick average weighted by crit rate (This is the number you care about).


    Now with the new BP.

    CotF T1 Marnek Focus (BP) increases Marnek by 4%. It does not conflict with the arm focus.

    3,491 * 1.04 = 3,630 - 3,491 = 139 damage/tick added to base.
    3,491 * 1.04 = 3,630 * .58 = 2,105.4 - 2,024 = 81 damage/tick added to arm focus

    139+81 = 220 damage/tick added by BP pre-crit


    3,491 + 2,024 + 220 = 5,735 damage/tick average pre-crit.


    3,491 * 1.04 = 3,630 * 4.15 = 15,064.5 damage/tick post-crit
    3,491 * 1.04 = 3,630 * .58 = 2105 * 4.15 = 8,735.75 damage/tick added by arm focus post-crit

    15,064.5 + 8,735.75 = 23,800 damage/tick average post-crit

    5,735 * .21 = 1,204
    23,800 * .79 = 18,802

    1,204 + 18,802 = 20,006 damage/tick average weighted by crit rate. (This is the number you care about).


    TL;DR

    With old BP: 19,786/Tick
    With new BP: 20,006/Tick

    Also note I only used passive effects. When you use activated abilities to increase crit rate/damage and add bard songs, the benefit of the new BP becomes even higher.

    Thanks! I feel stupid now for ever thinking that the old BP stacked with arms focus... but that's what I believed until reading your explanation. I appreciate this very much.. I guess I don't want a refund :).

    HA cannot be finished:

    In the heroic adventure The King's Court, in Neriak 4th Gate, a step was to pick up local garments from a chest and equip them in order to interact with chatty dark elves. Got the key from a guard, looted it with my bard and retrieved the robe from the chest.

    Then I was never able to use it on myself or anyone in the group, I even tried using it on the NPCs. The emote message Your Fine Attire begins to glow appears and then nothing happens. No cast bar appeared while I was using it, but this has been the case with many many items used by bards for years. Had to drop the HA. I was not using any other form of illusion, no one in the group was.

    I also hijack my own legitimate bug post to kindly ask you to stop ignoring this thread :

    It is getting infuriating.

    In the WK2 Mission The Other Brother; Brother Chintle has a zone wide aggro, not clearable by Fade, FD or anything similar and hits for 900k+ dmg. I managed to win the mission by dot kiting him as a bard.

    [Wed Jan 22 18:06:05 2014] Brother Chintle crushes YOU for 949532 points of damage.
    [Wed Jan 22 18:06:05 2014] You have been knocked unconscious!
    [Wed Jan 22 18:06:05 2014] You have been slain by Brother Chintle!
  14. Riou EQResource


    If it's not the beat him down part you aren't supposed to tank him or get hit, you have to kite him to Brother Estle, the zone wide aggro is so that that player has to kite him to Brother Estle as well, though fading it on beta did clear him when other players were in the zone.

    When i had that exact task and task step the other day i actualyl was amused at the fact taht he was hitting me for literally 40 to 120 damage, i wonder why he was hitting me for so low and yet is hitting others for those insanely high numbers.

    NO TIME TO BLEED - {now} Strips the clickie buff Steam work Companion. So if you are using it to Levitate and you click NTTB you go straight to the ground, which can get you killed.

    Not sure if this is the appropriate place to put this bug, but the last couple weeks I have had my pets disappear at random, be it zoning, crashing, or camping out, then logging back in. Normally not a problem, but there are certain instances where a person has a fully geared and buffed pet, only to have it gone for no apparent reason :(

    The 2nd rank of the AA is supposed to be 73%, but if it's actually 70%, makes it identical to the first rank! It says it's supposed to be 73%.

    Should we be posting this elsewhere as there seems to be no response or even acknowledgement when we post this issue here repeatedly?

    I talked to Elidroth the other day about this and the other classes' AAs. They should be fixed soon.

    My friend and I tried to do Protected Passage HA tonight. We got to the "kill the fire mephits that surround Ron Miller", killed 11 out of the twelve. The twelfth was untargettable. We are unable to finish this at his time. Tried to petition but it wouldn't go through.
