Report #1470
Skillset: Ecology Skill: Transmigration
 Org: Spiritsingers Status: Completed Apr 2016
Furies' Decision:
Solution 2.
Problem: Vixen, one of the Serenwilde bonds used to be one of the higher choices
for a bard before the overhaul as it boosted charisma, which in turn had a
decent effect on damage output, the +2 seduction never really being the
drawcard. Now with the overhaul, it gives a boost to ego and +2 seduction. What
this report seeks to do is give some viability back to the vixen, giving the
bard/druid another option to choose from by swapping out +2 seduction for
empower, which is the Serenwilde's influence for most things, much as weaken is
for Glomdoring, also bringing it in line with Glomdoring's Widow bond.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Replace the 1/8 seduction buff with a 1/8 empower buff
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Along with solution 1, also remove the gender
 restriction on bonds.

Supported. Would also suggest making them not gender-locked.

Supported, agree with Raeri on gender-lock.

I don't really see 'empower' as the Serenwilde influence type as opposed to
weakening for Glomdoring. I will note that empower over seduction is a
significant boost as empower and charity are the two most prevalent influence
strengths throughout the Basin. However, I think there's more than enough buffs
to max out influencing in any given type, so sure, whatever.

I can't help but feel like this is just a way to buff afk guard influencing but
sure, supported.

Was expecting something combat relevant based on the problem statement, but
sure.
---[Asmodea on 3/18 @ 01:50 writes]:
Well by Serenwilde influence, we use empower to gather fae, as opposed to
Glomdoring use weaken.

Just out of curiosity what's the exact buff rating? 2/10? 2/8? 2/somethingelse?
---[Asmodea on 3/21 @ 10:09 writes]:
Apologies, the buff is a 1/8 seduction at the moment. Solution altered to match.
---[Wobou on 3/22 @ 10:48 writes]:
This sounds fine to me.
---[Rivius on 3/24 @ 23:19 writes]:
Okay.
---[Shuyin on 3/25 @ 18:22 writes]:
Ok
---[Enyalida on 3/27 @ 21:43 writes]:
Supported. If you don't have anything for solutions 2 or 3, please add something
along the lines of "Remove the gender restriction of Ecology Bonds".
---[Shedrin on 3/30 @ 00:45 writes]:
Support removing the gender restrictions.

Makes sense for solution 1 and 2. It's not a very good perk compared to Owl/Bat
or Fox/Viper and their recovery bonuses, but its a quality of life change
