Report 1045

Report #1045
Skillset: Shadowbeat Skill: None
 Org: Harbingers Status: Completed Mar 2013
Furies' Decision:
Solution 1.
Problem: At present, it is hard for Shadowbeat users to tell when their song
effects have affected their target - as only Shadowrave gives a message when it
affects a target. This report seeks to give Shadowbeat users more awareness over
their powers, so that they can time other abilities to mesh with ticks and so
forth. (Basically, making using our song powers more fun and interesting than
just leaving them going!).
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Give a message to the song player when the following
 song powers hit enemies: Bloodycaps, Shadowpulse,
 Spidercantiga.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Give a message to all present when the following song
 powers hit enemies: Bloodycaps, Shadowpulse,
 Spidercantiga (like Shadowrave does already).
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3:

The three songs noted in solutions 1/2 already give messages to the person who
is victim to them, but not to the song player. They are as follows - For
Bloodycaps: Wounds open up all over your body and you start to bleed./Your blood
refuses to clot. - For Shadowpulse: Your bleeding wounds sting painfully,
causing your limbs to stiffen up. - For SpiderCantiga: Hundreds of tiny stings
attack your body for a brief moment.

APPROVED. Though I would recommend just seeing the songs tic when they hit your
enemies, rather than all the time otherwise it can get real spammy for the bard
not to mention everyone else should they see it too.

This is fine.

Supported.

I've updated the solutions in line with Asmodea's suggestion. I'd also like to
note that in the interest of not being epically spammy I support solution 1 much
more than 2. :)

This isn't something unique to shadowbeat. Most bard tics donw^~)ut give a
message to the bard when they hit someone unlike demense effects. Bards in
general noticing when their songs that don't give a room wide message hit
someone would be helpful.

Supported!

Yeah, I'd love it if we all got messages from powers so that bards are
universally able to do more interesting things with tactics - I felt here like
asking for -every- spec to be changed was a little beyond the scope of my one
report, though :) I would support/encourage other specs making similar reports.

Supported. I like flavour messages.
---[Xenthos on 3/22 @ 22:07 writes]:
Yea.

Solution 1 preferred. Solution 2 can get too spammy with multiple bards.

If it is good for one bard group it should be applied to all. Supported.
