Bard Issues

[therealjjj77]

There are a few things I noticed when playing the bard class that were not in line with live.

First, when a bard is singing a song, on live they are able to use boastful bellows, fade, and use discs. On eqemu, if you are singing, you won't be able to use those 3 things.

Second, charmed pets should show up in the pet window. Currently they are not. Also, when toggling through NPC's, charmed pets should not be a target. Also, pet charm should break when you go invisible.

Third, in the AAs bards are supposed to also get the "fury of magic" line of AAs. There are other AAs that they get too but the "fury of magic" line should be an easy fix since it's just a cut and paste from other classes.

Thanks!

This should do the trick:

UPDATE altadv_vars SET classes = (classes & 256) WHERE skill_id = 443

Or, the more direct way:

UPDATE altadv_vars SET classes = 27972 WHERE skill_id = 443

Big thanks!

Maybe you also know of a fix to Critical Affliction AA? It doesn't work at all currently. It is supposed to make dots crit once in a while/do double damage. Also, bards on live get Veteran's Wrath. It is an Omens AA that makes crits do increased damage. I know monks are able to spend it on Eqemu but it doesn't show up for bards.

Btw, here's an awesome list of AAs:

All missing AAs have been compiled in a post on the PEQ forums.

As for functionality, Critical Affliction is currently not working, and will take some code to fix. So that's up to the developers.

Veteran's Wrath is in the Omens tab when I load up a bard under 1106 and the latest version of the PEQ database. However, no AAs past Planes of Power are being worked on currently; everything's being done sequentially according to the original expansion releases.

If Veteran's Wrath is missing for your bard, please post what version of the emulator and what database you are using.
