Awaiting Feedback Provo Mastery Buff vs. Other Masteries

[Bob]

i like 4x120 bard buffs applying to whole party no matter what other buffs or skillz chrs have,
its not OP, and very hard to keep active in the field . (unless at a tram/luna event boss)

2nd bard in party with different mastery = extra buffs, but same buff from 2 bards should not stack
and if firefly dont like stacking buffs, why limit to just bard? what about bless , curse and/or weaver buffs?

Hold up! I just said what i have been told by osi players about bard buffs applying to another bard. Bards can not have 2diffrent songs active at same time in one parry but it will work on non bard characters that was the point when they add those masteries.

Also im trying but i cant find connection with bless spell or curse spell? Those dont stack if two ppl cast bless and that due to stat limits?

Not sure about weaver buffs?
What you think about? Empowerment? Gift of life? Those works only on caster and Optional 1bonded pet?

did not mean it as specific , my mistake , was being smart ass

i just look at a buff as something that shows up in the buff bar, more the better, more options = more fun
why limit 2 different bard masters from working together to give 4 buffs to a party?

what ever reason someone might have, would that also affect other buffs and skills people use together currently ?
just saying there is a reason only Leet End Game peeps run bard 4x120 buffs,

• Bards with either provocation or peacemaking mastery can have both their mastery spell songs active at the same time.

Yeah i know both Bards can have both spellsongs up. Like using provo mastery let you cast both buffs, peace allow to use both at same time but not mix those buffs all together.

 

[Bob]

well at least the system works correctly , it even drops buffs if you change mastery as intended

kinda wondering about the sdi buff stats not showing in stat bar when bard mastery activate and death ray active.
dont really use death ray because mostly its a waste and other ways cause more dpi,
but i like the idea of making things more usable.

* tested some *

just to mention what you have already said,
active bard buff sdi does not affect death ray,

if buff active (other bard in party with mastery song buff active) and you cast death ray,
you lose the sdi bonus in stat bar for the buff,
(but buff icon still shows + sdi)

as soon as you stop death ray, you will then see the active bard buff sdi in your stat bar,
just another reason someone might not use death ray,

guess next question is:
on OSI, if you have bard buff up (and see the sdi number in your stat bar)
if you cast death ray , do you see sdi number drop and same damage from death ray with and without bard buff?

As far as i know once you go under bard song and cast death ray it would deactivate bard songs (flickering at buff bar but not add bonus)

I like death ray in some places or when doing stuff i want take down fast.

Some champs is worthless to use (like that Turkey on steroids also know as Rikktor)

Anyway preffered character for champs for me is my sampire cuz beside lvl 1/2 in general spawns are faster to complete
