Report #1228
Skillset: Necroscream Skill: DarkMaster
 Org: Cacophony Status: Completed Sept 2013
Furies' Decision:
Solution 1.
Problem: A quality of life change: DarkMaster gives a line each time it tics,
which is great when you need to know that but very annoying otherwise.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Change it to not send the line if you currently have
 the ability to use DarkMaster. This way you will see
 it when it's handy instead of being all spammy.

No objections if you really want this, but isn't it better to have the reminder
that it's still primed than to have to remember/guess? It seems like it would be
better to leave the option in and let people deal with it client-side if they
object to the extra spam.

Hm, I guess so if you wish.

Personally I agree with Talan- I'd prefer to see the line when I can use it, but
no objection if the guild as a whole wants it removed.

Yeah sure

From Silvanus: The line for DarkMaster ticks every single time, regardless if
anyone hears it or not. If possible, make it work like CarillonKnell where it
only shows a line if someone is affected by it

See, Silvanus' thing makes more sense. I support that, too.

Darkmaster affects the bard not the target. The mechanic is more like it giving
you a token that you can trade in to dominate someone. If you have the token it
doesn't matter if your target has heard the song tic, is a personal enemy or
even if you have swapped out darkmaster for something else. It would be like if
your beast pinged you every 10 seconds to let you know it has balance. The
persistent nature of the 'token' makes the reminder not helpful.

Aurics and octaves aren't passive and require power. A low stanza passive sleep
lock/kill method, however you care to frame it, is in fact quite dramatic.
