So, where were they? As in, what bonuses were removed?

And by looking at the voting total on this topic, the devs on this server obviously do not care what the players think... just their opinion matters. Par for the course

The pure bard bonuses he removed were the +1 s to ab, ac, and saves at level 22 and the sonic damage a bard got when it was buffed by its song. So bard song is 4 ab and 4 ac at 40.

Make no mistake bards are still powerful.

Aye but there is no reason at all to remain pure now.

I didn't do the poll, and trust me... bards are still doing fine. Yes there's reason to go pure still... and maybe now half the server won't keep making the same build. No more permanent divine might :lol:

Why did you mess up with ab/ac/saves bonuses if dmg output was the problem? Everyone can have bards. Now, when pure bards are not so attractive any more, factions will matter more, which means more problems with balancing.

And by ignoring the poll results you just made Lokey look silly.

I've fought enough pure bard dexers to last me a few lifetimes. Now nerf str based pure fighters so every other person on the server can quit building them and do something more creative... :wink:

If we had something to work with, we would, but when all we got is our pure barbs and fighters, then well, thats exactly what were gonna do

lol thats funny
but none the less, he said something other than pure fighters
so, what should we log fighting 70-80+ ac shifters with all sorts of hand give'n this and that
all dr types with 60+ ab's doin dlbe handed wpn damage and blinding speed, sure isnt gonna
be a slow 60ab dwd that cant even catch up to them and even if he does prolly wont hit
so we use pure fighters and barbs, that simple

I didnt say squat about being short on building, just we had nothing to work with
other than our fighters and barbs

Have a nice day
I'm goin back to my food
