FIXED Bard Mastery - Two songs at the same time possible in OSI

[elbartoc]

Hi,

I just checked in EA Test Server 1 today and have two buffs from the Bard Mastery at the same time is possible.

A fresh character with 120 Music 120 Provocation 120 Peacemaking and both Masteries was used in the testing.

Video with both provocation songs/buffs at the same time:

If you want me to check and record any extra detail, please tell me.

Best regards,

Looks great bud, appreciate the time you put into it.

@Magus Zeal so what was it before? Were they stacking the same buff?

It seems you can have multiple bard buffs at the same time, as long as they are not the same and unique?

 

[Magus Zeal]

Yeah this was possible on EA and also here. We are good with the double buff. The control is switching masteries.

The control is switching masteries?

 

[Magus Zeal]

You can only have discord, peace or provo masteries active at a given time. there is a 15min delay between switching. So its really hard to get peace and provo going at once for instance. You can get two active buffs from the same mastery though - you just need to manage your mana consumption

 

[Dan]

So when switching mastery we just need to ensure it is correctly dropping the buff for everyone.

 

[Magus Zeal]

I didn't test this but I'm certain you can do this on EA (switch masteries for different buffs). The catch is that when you lose the song through interruption you have to wait out the mastery timer to do that again.

I had a link in that other Bard thread....I'll have to find it.

Just tested and as soon you change mastery, the buff is halted and gone.

Nice! Thanks for testing!

This information is about 18 hours too late lol.

Apparently the horse wasn't dead yet @Dexter - It's still twitching!

 

[Dexter]

What if you did this. BardA and BardB are partied. BardA has provation mastery, BardB has Discordance mastery. What if they both cast their respective spells? Do they then benefit from 4 bard songs? Throw in BardC, and what about 6 bard songs?

Question of the century.

 

[elbartoc]

Discordance do not have buff songs but debuffs the target, so that remove discordance from the equation. And yes, if there are two bards, one with peacemaking and one with provocation, and both cast both songs, every bard has 4 buffs (4 different ones).

This information is about 18 hours too late lol.

I didn't know that this topic was discussed prior to the last patch, sorry.

 

[Dexter]

so this was working as intended before.
