Gaige wrote: Bards have the weakest CAs - 25% flurry will still translate into much less than the current version of our myth b/c of our class. This does not relate to how it would effect other classes. The old dirge myth proc on other classes would be beast on top of your already awesome CA dmg. However we do weak CA even with 180ish potency, so not having the melee dps will likely put us behind troubs once theyre done tweaking them. You may say "what less melee dps but you have 25% flurry1!1!!". This is true, but when the bulk of those hits are under 15k even on debuffed mobs its pretty meh.

How about make it an Auto Attack Multiplier proc? Similiar to how it is in PvP Battlegrounds... except make it better than the PvP Proc. Won't hit for max but it will still be an increase?

sad day for dirges. I truly feel sorry for you guys .. I do not agree with nerfing one class to fix another. as a trouby i wanted more personal dps maybe give us max spell damage or multi spell atk to boost us up a bit and make our class a little bit more enjoyable to play, but I am more than happy with some of the fixes they are giving us, we have been way overdue. I don't understand why they think it is neccessary to nerf one class to fix another. it just seems like they playing a game of musical chairs with the bards and this time the dirges lose their seat. it will be just as bad all around if ppl have a hard time finding a dirge in a raid here soon becuase most have either betrayed to a trouby or moved to an alt.
Good job Soe fix somthing by breaking somthing. I agree give the troubys somthing, but there was no need to mess with our myth. Im alil sick over this and if it is as bad as it sounds yeah done playing this game. I am tired dealing with SOe working as intended garbage. Thank You soe for making all my hard work amount to nothing excellent job.
I have to chime in and agree that troubs needed something, but not at the expense of nerfing dirges!!! Troubs parse about the exact same as a dirge in raids if the groups are setup correctly. This is uncalled for.
Everybody knows where you go when the boss goes down. I think you only live to see the troubies frown. I wasted my time when I would try, try, try. When your mythical gets fixed, you're gonna cry, cry, cry. I try real hard each fight and wait 'til you come in. You stay a little while and then you're gone again. Every question that I ask, I get a lie, lie, lie. For every lie you tell, you're gonna cry, cry, cry. You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll cry alone, When everyone's forgotten and you're left on your own. You're gonna cry, cry, cry. Soon your mythical proc will all be gone. You'll wake up some cold day and find you're alone. You'll call to me but I'm gonna tell you: "Bye, bye, bye," When I turn around and walk away, you'll cry, cry, cry, When your whining cries gets old, no one will care for you. You'll come back to Troubs for a little love that's true. I'll tell you no and you gonna ask me why, why, why? When I remind you of all of this, you'll cry, cry, cry. You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll cry alone, When everyone's forgotten and you're left on your own. You're gonna cry, cry, cry. You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll want me there, It'll hurt when you think of the fool you've been. You're gonna cry, cry, cry.
With the dirge mythical nerf, the troubadours are going to suffer too. Before, they could look at the new changes SoE gave them and said.. "Okay they are nice but that still doesn't make us equal to the dirges, our counter part." Now, they just have to take whatever are thrown at them. Nerfing any one subclass is a nerf to all the subclasses. The bar has just been lowered.
This thread is becoming a slip hazard due to all the drool. Troubadors were buffed to fix the class. Dirges had their OP mythical to fix dirges the 2 are unrelated it was becoming exponentially worse. I don't understand what is so hard to get about that, clearly many are upset because they are no longer going to derive >50% of their DPS from simply being close to the mob, then there are many thatare just upset because they have heard that others are so they are jumping into the fray as well. Oh BTW make sure you give somebody your stuff on your way out random to your guildies, trivia questions in channel do something but don't let it go to waste if you are such a terrible player that you can't actually work with the rest of your CA's/spells and learn the best way to recover SOME of the DPS that you will lose from this.

And I knew if I had my chance That I could make those people dance And, maybe, they’d be happy for a while. But September made me shiver With every update they'd deliver. Bad news on the doorstep; I couldn’t take one more step. I can’t remember if I cried When I read how my bard lost her pride, But something touched me deep inside The day the music died. So bye-bye, miss Fluter Tooter's Jive. Rode my leaper to the levee, But the levee was dry. And them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye Singin’, "this’ll be the day Dirges die. "this’ll be the day that I die." Did SJ write the update above, And do you have faith in Smedley high above, If SOE tells you so? Do you believe Bard rock ’n roll, Can music save your mortal soul, And can you teach me how to dance real slow? Well, I know that you’re trying to fix the Troubies Hmyn `cause I saw their frustration bursting from within. We use to make you kicked off your shoes. Man, everyone dug those rhythm and blues. I was a happy southern broncin’ buck With a pink carnation and and awesome cluck, But I knew I was out of luck The day the music died. I started singin’, "bye-bye, miss Flute Tooter's Jive." Rode my leaper to the levee, But the levee was dry. Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye And singin’, "this’ll be the day Dirges die. "this’ll be the day that I die." Now Dirges be on their own And moss grows fat on a rollin’ stone, But that’s not how it used to be. When the CoB sang for the king and queen, In a coat they borrowed from james dean And a voice that came from you and me, Oh, and while the dirge was looking down, The king stole her thorny crown. The courtroom was adjourned; No verdict was returned. And while lennon read a book of marx, The quartet practiced in the park, And we dirges sang in the dark The day the music died. I started singin’, "bye-bye, miss Flute Tooter's Jive." Rode my leaper to the levee, But the levee was dry. Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye And singin’, "this’ll be the day Dirges die. "this’ll be the day that I die." But really Potency is dumbe give us like CB, 25, 20, or 15 even.
