right now the game is in boring state where every single class combo perform the same with the difference of skill names and animations+effects
So you think the Wl/Wd is played on the same way as the Wl/Ch for example? Or the Wl/R the same way as Wl/S?
I got my Level 80 Gear from the NPC in Varanas. On this gear i found:
Dex/End, Int/end and 2x dex/Pat and Int/mat. Is that correct or does it depend on the secondary class how you gear the bard?
Da mein Englisch nicht so dolle ist.
Ich hab in Varanas von dem NPC meine Ausrüstung bekommen, das folgendermaßen gestattet war:
Geschick/AUsdauer, Intelligenz/Ausdauer und dann je 2x Geschick/Phys Angriff und 2x Intelligenz/Magische Angriffskraft. Ist das jetzt richtig so, dass der Barde so gepimpt wird oder hängt das am Ende doch noch von der Sekundärklasse ab?
In your case (bard/mage) you should go for 6:0 int/matt, purple stats full int/int which is best in slot these days. For a budget gear you may use some int/stam as well, but even the red pantheon int/matt should be better than most of these. As a bard, you get a passive bonus on all base attributes, which always also includes stamina. You got an ISS that increases your hp additionally for some time, so you barely have issues with HP, means, you can even go full offensive while not going for best in slot gear yet 
Just to clarify: There is literally no class in the game that works (well) with a mixed build out of different attributes, except some tanks or leather (that might use str as well, but since 105 main set it's even better to go for full dex I guess). Saying this, because I was recently asked about exactly this thing, since there are transformation potions in the game with mixed attributes as well 
Well I never had issues in competing with other classes with my (magical) scouts... 😅
In general this class should like in WoW - more offensive than support. Especially with Mage o.o
For me this combination should launch tactical nukes to be honest. But if it was designed here to support then ;? maybe some necro skills?
I would suggest you try Wl/S, Wl/W, Wl/Ch or Wl/B if you look for some really good damage. Even Wl/Wd is decent in the entire early- and mid game. The only supportive warlocks are /p, /d, /m, but Wl/M can deal pretty good dmg as well. What exactly seems to be not enough offensive at this class in your opinion? From my perspective it's even more offensive than most other magical classes
The author tested the B/S combination for a while and unfortunately, as they previously mentioned in another thread, the combination has been killed. Currently, it doesn't deal enough damage to a single target or to multiple targets. They argue that around 20 mobs in IDK were noticeably affected by this combination before, but now, even with full power, they can't catch up with a player who has two or three tiers lower equipment, weapon, and significantly fewer cards. They also mention that the main skill's long cast time doesn't deal damage like before, and it now only deals damage three times but much weaker than before, which also blocks their 25% damage buff. Overall, it's a disaster, an unreasoned change that turned a decent combination into another useless combination for leather equipment. They urge for a quick change because such unexplained changes make the game unenjoyable to play.
I was told that B/S would be decent in pvp, but I don't play much pvp, so not sure about that. But maybe you can have a look 
please what? What you need to "play it"?
It's the knight class with the most single aggro and even AOE aggro is very high because of second hatred rune.
The class has nothing special for the group yes, but it's one of the stronger knight classes in general
but no one can play xD and i sayed to much useles
The class isn't very difficult, the only difference to other knights is your ground target aoe and your insanely ranged holy strike. How can't ppl play it? Haven't seen anyone else complaining yet at all 
Maybe some explanation - I played it for a while before changing to cloth tank:
So you got insane aggro on single target and aoe, another 10s cd ranged ground target aggro aoe (just writing this speaks for itself) and even got a decent damage mitigation for the entire raid every 2 minutes. What is useless there? Compared to other tanks it's even too strong 
And...
Regarding Knight/Mage...
Is there any plan to make Knight/Mage viable as a magical dps class?
K/M is really strong in cloth tank gear, it even deals decent damage compared with other tanks. Not even Champ/Priest or Warden/Warrior deal such damage (as tanks). However, I doubt there is a need for another Warmage-like class, esp if you look back into the past when K/M actually was a dps on coa, which was horrible 
I still got ptsd from our full K/M hos raids back then
Display MoreDisplay MoreCool, I'm playing a different game again than most others \o/
Assuming the devs balance around dc AND idk, some changes really make sense imo. So let's enter my different game for a second and simulate as we all would play on the same server... Here we go...
A) Warlocks were stronger than every mage before the patch, but mages were better in every 6 man content, so I assume the nerf of both was reasonable
B) Some specific (very much) overpowered classes, such as Ch/B and Wl/S were nerfed additionally, perfect
C) S/M was nerfed aa few patches ago (lost 5% matt and got little xbow magic damage instead), the class feels like an average mdps these days to me. Nothing really broken, but equal to a bard/mage with just different advantages and disadvantages, but overall same damage.
D)
You could actually play M/K in there, which was rlly cool too. I'm curious if it's still viable, since I focused on op m/s and warlocks for the last weeks in dc. M/Ch has a shitty matt but is the very best mdps class in IDK imo. In DC it wasn't as bad, too and gave decent support to Ch/B (the same way a S/M supports B/M)...
E) I was testing the Wl/S on dummy yesterday and compared with my past parses. And (excluding the dummy circumstances) turned out it lost like 5.5% damage output overall. Damn, that's a huge impact! Wl/Ch didn't feel any change at all, the 5% feel like the normal variance while parsing (parses differ between +-2-5% normally).
F) Mages on the other hand, feel much weaker through the same 5% nerf. My M/S lost like 20% (should be less in real instance, would assume like 12-15%), M/Ch lost 11% compared to my parses from 3 days ago. So yea I agree, mages need a boost soon to be fine again.
Can you back that up with numbers/setups maybe? I did around 25 DC- and 15 Idk-runs with mage in the last couple of weeks and it felt really strong. The couple i did on wl felt awful. But i have a very old gear and maybe i am doing something wrong on the wl classes. Furthermore i personally dont think doing rotations on dummies helps at all. Its always about the raid setups and generally most played classes.
~ kind regards
Unfortunately I don't save my scrutis, so no, can't proof my points with numbers. Don't even remember what classes were played there, however in my former guild most ppl always played the same classes, so debuffs/buffs didn't change as much
The only mage that was better than all warlocks in DC was M/S, the others had too poor matt to compete with warlocks that just got passive int bonus through class, some got another attributes bonus through buffs, others through additional weapon/talisman. However, Wl/R was useless to me in every way, Wl/Ch was better in every scenario, so I acted like Wl/R doesn't exist for a while (and still is).
But I agree, depending on raid setups and raid gameplay, all our opinions can differ. That's why I'm pretending to play a different game or being in my own bubble, cause I think my personal gameplay differs very much from most others. So warlocks were stronger than mages in dc for me, can't do anything about it 
Can't even believe how mage could be better than warlock with "lower" gear unless it was /scout
PS: Have fun including this into your next answer as well)
Yes, sorry, you're right, every 2 minutes. But unfortunately it is 33% less common than others
If you just burst every 2 minutes with all of your raid, it shall be fine 
In theory (according to my parses and a little imagination) mages in general are stronger than (most) warlocks in aoe sustain dps, so in future instances that have twice the amount of mobs of dc but half their defenses, mages would be always better
А) I was in IDK as m/ch and s/m. And my slow fingers said me "play s/m, if u have w/s or w/d in group"
doesnt matter both classes are strong for this
C) I always only count damage throughout the dungeon. Because the result is the end. I never look at dps separately for trash and bosses (Provided that the group needs to pick up a setup so that there is enough damage at all stages)
E) yes, perhaps I should have clarified
A) Feel that, but I'm playing with a combat engine (leave the hard finger acrobatics to other games! :D) so I don't have any issues with M/Ch, but can imagine how it feels to play fully "manually" Maybe mages are stronger these days if you play them with a good engine (not speaking of shitty combo), that would explain why opinions differ that much in some cases
C) I use to look at both. You need much more full runs to compare full raid damage parses and always the same raid setup, the same amount of burst phases etc. So I assume one cannot compare two classes only through full run scrutis, esp since scrutinizer is the most inaccurate dps parse addon I've ever seen in an mmo. However, I once even managed to outdamage warriors, scouts and even warlocks in boss burst in DC as Bard/Mage when a (physical) S/M was in the raid. So I would assume that both b/m and s/m are equal. So either S/M isn't as strong as ppl tell in my hands, or B/M is stronger in my hands than ppl tell.
E) True that, however, if you compare on dummy, you expect the perfect world, where either all debuffs are applied, or nothing, doesn't matter since all parses use the same conditions. I said "excluding the dummy circumstances" at the beginning, so I already counted in differences that only apply on dummy parses, such as matt inc, mdef dec, support, etc. However, I think it's time to get better dummys in Itnal camp, guess I suggested this a houndred times already

A) if you are talking about nostalgia for mages, then having a warrior and a scout in the group (where you are one dps more) you will not have time to deal damage. It's a setup question. When we talk about DC and talk about a magician, then personally I feel an acute shortage of parameters (specifically - magic attack). And it's pointless to compare classes, half are just dead.
С) scout mage is utterly stronger than bard mage
D) I tested M/K 5-7 days ago. It is really good, BUT before second boss DC (i lose 10-15% top1)
E) My favorite category is testing for dummy... It's not the first day you've been playing and you should understand that here you can only compare the damage done. In a dungeon, you don't even know the meaning of protection. The only question is the stability of your game as a DPS
A) That's our default setup in IDK, actually me as M/Ch or M/R or M/K, a S/D and a W/Whatever. And M/Ch was best overall, even while gears of us were equal. M/R was the weakest of the 3 mages, but had best support at the same time. However, M/R is perfect for Kalin imo, that's enough of use cases for me.
C) In which way? Sustain damage of bard is better than scout, so if you don't burst constantly, bard would be equal or even better, depending on raid speed. And even in fast raids, if you have a S/M and a B/M at the same time, b/m makes up in burst through the debuff.
E) Point is, that 2 same tests under same circumstances with the same environment result in a difference of 5% if enough for me to be sure that Wl/S isn't cut as much as it looks like in the patchnotes. But sure, dummy differs a lot from instances, you can only compare max damage but never include additional support etc, since conditions are too different... But why should I care about protection if I don't die in idk or dc at all as a ranged dps? Guess I don't get your point here
And for u, my dear Zyrex, I'll write new post
Oh no, I feel very comfortable in my personal bubble, please don't make me leave it
aaaand
Yes, its good as support, like mexxer, but not dps. It has burst each 2.5 min (at this time others - 1.5 min).
If you reset your elemental catalysis after half of its cd is completed, you can use it every 2 mins and combine it with the 2 funny ghosts which has 2 min cd as well. You can even use water and elven potion for a third burst-like burst that only works on single targets 
PS: Have fun including this into your next answer as well) 
This really looks decent! The game has a huge potential for a battle pass system, which is the perfect solution to replace the more or less useless vip bonuses. I mean, the weapon training dragon is cool and the haidon buff is useful, but everything else isn't worth it (for me). Can't click the interactive mockup yet, just see a black box there, but will try later from my PC.
On the other hand, maybe there is a way too much information on a screen at the same time (assuming you additionally get mouseover tooltips by hovering over the 100 buttons), but coloring looks nice (even though the color blind will cry cause the borders are just too thin) and a system like that is highly asked by... the... comm...
...wait... it's actually not. The 16th of 20 options in the poll. However, it looks decent So if the other 15 things come up first, nobody will cry I guess

D)
2) You take 10% dps from the mage, which is impossible to play in endgame instances (except m/s PS if someone decides to mention m/ch or m/r, then come to the dungeon and prove it to me in comparison with me). I will not even talk about the latest "boost" of m/p type connections. And we still remember "-26% intelligence". At the same time, such bundles as s/m, ch/b (mentioned by Noodlez), s/wl and the most juicy for a raid instance wl/d remain untouched. I still don't understand what you are balancing.
You could actually play M/K in there, which was rlly cool too. I'm curious if it's still viable, since I focused on op m/s and warlocks for the last weeks in dc.

If you switch between categories and tabs fast enough, you can merge the dashboard with the shop windows
Afaik such healing potions already exist but are kinda useless, like healing 50k hp or such (don't rememeber the real amount, but recipes are sold in Atlas for AC). Maybe it's time to rework them or make them heal %hp just like Phirius potions
(Btw, %hp increase potions already exist, granting +25% hp which is fine imo)
Hallo, ich bin neu hier im Spiel und frage mich, wie ich für meinen Barden an ein neues Instrument kommen soll.
Ich habe den Barden als dritte Klasse gewählt und musste mir von einem Twink ein Level 1 Instrument zuschicken, da ich keines bekam. Dann bekomme ich während der ganzen Quests an der KdG kein neues Instrument. Das Instrument in Varanas ist unbezahlbar für einen Neueinsteiger. Ich habe gerade mal 48.000 Gold
Es gibt diverse Barden-Klassenkombis, die kein Instrument brauchen, zb Barde/Druide nutzt einen 2h Stab. Barde/Bewa dürfte eine 2h Axt nutzen, bei anderen bin ich mir nicht ganz sicher. Diese Klassen sind in der meta nicht so stark, sollte für alles außer Endgame aber imo ausreichen. Auf der Homepage gibt's eine Übersicht aller Klassenkombis, die auch alle paar Patches aktualisiert wird, da kannst Du auch sehen, welche Kombi welche Waffenart verwendet: https://chroniclesofarcadia.com/skills/12/
Ansonsten sollte ich sicher noch das ein oder andere Fragment oder Tambu rumliegen haben, kannst mich gerne mal ingame anschreiben, dann schau ich mal, was ich hab 
Guess 27+ raids are worth it
So for me it worked today
Fortunately you can delete all the useless potions with the inventory bin... oh wait Maybe add the possibility to do so, why can you delete a fully statted gear but no housing potions?
Then don't run it I guess
Always the best solution is to ignore the content instead, right.
Basically yes, it's weekly content, so you do it once a week and save some grind in return. Don't see any problem ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Even if you invest 10k+ dias for reset tickets it's still better to farm real instances if I did math correctly according to the post of Brontes
We've not added RNG to the loot per se, we simply moved the RNG portion of what is gotten to a seperate step, instead of direct drops. While these drops aren't guaranteed, a player can expect to see at least one specialty material per 250 coins thrown into the well.
It is relatively rare that none of these materials are obtained, more commonly players will gain one or more materials.
Haha. All of our guild got 249 coins. Only 3 afaik got something usefull like splinter of form. Rest of players only got crap.
And this is still rng per se, regardless of how you specify it. And as we can see 3/14 got usefull things from 249 coins...
Then don't run it I guess For me it looks like some additional fun and brings back a lot of nostalgia, since we ran Sathkur on multiple servers already. I did 2 runs so far, once got 2 splinters and huge material drop, once pure crap. So what? People cried for catch-up mechanics and here it is, fair enough to me. Now the next hoto sets are much easier to get, there will be more sun essences around and maybe even prices drop, that's a good thing I guess
Not sure how to describe the issue, some windows (character, inventory, itemshop) seem to behave strangely since you changed them not to disappear out of the game window anymore. Seems like the frame is clipping on foreign UI windows' anchor points.

Why did you change Bard/Druid the way you did? You took a class-combination that was already bad and destroyed it even further
It'a area damage wasn't good before, now its non-existend. If the single target damage would be really good (like on rogue/warlock) it would be fine but since this isn't the case, and current endcontent is mainly aoe focused (cause trash is way harder than most bosses), this class combination is just a joke.
Anyway just my opinion
Greetings.
I haven't played it in instances, but my dummy parses show that at least aoe sustain isn't that bad. I mean, almost all mages and warlocks are better and burst (single and aoe) and single sustain are crap, but for me it appears to be like 10-15% better than before. You don't keep spamming 1 spell anymore but have a small rota out of 4 spells now and you actually hit what you want to hit. Means, gameplay is fine imo. That's a good base to start balancing the class for sure.
The skill descriptions don't make any sense on a german client, seems like half info is missing, I had to rely on the patchnotes to know which skill does what. Even the elite order is incorrect, the 45 elite is still 45 and not 40 as shown in notes.
EDIT: Is it intended that all casts and channels this class has, are usable while walking without the ISS?
I think its stam = stam + (int+stam), so you get the amount of your base stam and int ontop of your current stamina. So you double your stam and get stam equal to int additionally
(got special gear for it)
I thought the same about the formula, however, my numbers ended up a bit different from the calculations. I wish I was as "poor" as you. Also, since the devs love fixing the bugs that benefit the players with priority, we might end up regretting reporting this one. Yet, other bugs like the double mana and focus consumption of the knight/bard 15 level elite skill still remain unfixed.
I appreciate the devs working on such classes in the first place. No matter of how the class ends up, it will def be better than before. Sure, the class look pretty strong, but as long as nobody has tested it in dc or idk, there's no reason for nerfing it I guess. 🤷🏻♂️
I think its stam = stam + (int+stam), so you get the amount of your base stam and int ontop of your current stamina. So you double your stam and get stam equal to int additionally Just tried the class in rofl, 4kk+ hp are nice (got special gear for it)
