Any chance we can get support for both the max level and the tier below for Insults? Using the NoS one in addition to the LS Insult is a nice aDPS/DPS gain.
 
I am privately testing pretty heavy changes to bard currently and it is on the table.

If it doesn't make the cut I'll be glad to instruct you on how to add it yourself.

What leads you to believe a second insult is providing more overall dps than using a dot? What level range/expansion is the bard in? (Edit: I see that now, thanks). Providing more detail about your usecase is helpful to me.

What prevents you from using all 4 dots and adding the Insult?
 
Cheers for that!

There are some technical issues with the lack of consistency of insult timers across a wide level spread that would make things a little more complex than they should be. I may be able to manually circumvent that at the top end of the level range.

If I can see a clear path to add it, I certainly will. If that isn't possible because of the negative impact on the rest of the level range, like I said, I can certainly help you jank it in (hard coding for one level range is very easy).

The system uses a priority akin to the bard fork of kiss, so at worst, you may not see as many casts you want. It all depends on how close I can trim the threshold of resinging the big three, and I am considering making that amount user configurable for those brave enough to try to squeak out every bit (I will certainly be doing so for the fun of it, but not always the best practice for the broader audience!).

I'll likely have a post asking for testers in the next few days.

We can also post beta bard config for beta testers if needed.
