Report #2
Skillset: Shadowbeat Skill: Widowsmercy
 Org: Harbingers Status: Rejected Jul 2008
Furies' Decision:
Burst vessels/clots do not appear appropriate for the class as it synergizes
with classes outside of Glomdoring. If the suggestion is for new afflictions, we
are reject the need for new afflictions in this case. Further, the suggestions
are overly complicated.
Problem: The way Widowsmercy is currently set up, it only works against those
warriors with cutting weapons (or bleeding artifacts) druids, and the monk
guilds who cause bleeding. It is the only skill in Shadowbeat (and maybe all of
the music specs) that requires the bard to be injured to work effectively. It's
effect could also be reworked to support the bleeding/poisons aspect of
Shadowbeat that has been mentioned in a few previous discussions about bard
focus.
Solution #1: Change Widowsmercy power to: When an enemy's bleeding is 0-99,
 afflict with malignant blood clot on song tic. When an enemy's
 bleeding is 100-199 afflict with one burst vessel on song tic.
 When an enemy's bleeding is 200-299 afflict with two burst
 vessels on song tic. When an enemy's bleeding is 300-399 afflict
 with three burst vessels on song tic. When an enemy's bleeding is
 greater than or equal to 400, cause 200 poison-source damage on
 song tic.
Solution #2: Change Widowsmercy power to: When an enemy's bleeding is 0-99,
 afflict with malignant blood clot on song tic. When an enemy's
 bleeding is 100-299 afflict with one burst vessel on song tic.
 When an enemy's bleeding is greater than or equal to 300, cause
 poison-source damage equal to the amount of bleeding on song tic.

So...would this mean that if I'm bleeding say..350 damage, when the song tics,
I'd be hit with three burst vessels, another two burst vessels for the 200-299,
one more for the 100-199, and a malignant blood clot, or three burst vessels
alone?

You would only be hit with the affliction from the bleeding range you are in,
not that plus previous levels. So, in Xiel's example, one would only be
afflicted with the three burst vessels and nothing else.
