Config - ShOeCrEwS' 120 Bard {NoS}

[ShOeCrEw]

ShOeCrEw submitted a new resource:

ShOeCrEwS' 120 Bard {NoS} - Sing me a song, Mr. Piano Man

So, I've taken a new approach to making an "always burning" INI to emulate what CWTN offers - a toggle to be "holding burns" and "always burning." Here's how it works:
1) On startup, you'll notice this INI turns burns off (/burn off).
2) To turn on the "always burning" setting, simply type /burn on.
3) To turn on the "always burning" setting AND burn immediately, type /burn on doburn
4) Grip it and rip it.

@ShOeCrEw - Thank you for sharing this setup. I'm currently augmenting it for my purposes.

I noticed you have:
Buffs5=Tune Stuck in Your Head

I also saw that this is currently a passive AA ability.
Perhaps this was not a passive ability when you originally added it as a buff to a previous Bard Kiss build?

Absolutely! Very plausible. I keep INIs for almost every class, so things slip through the cracks. Appreciate your vigilance!

nice ini, i dont know what i was doing before, but now im doing damage. i was underutilizing my dots appearently.

out of curiosity, why did you decide to go for the 115 insult?

 

[Mattheux]

I notice that you do not have a pull section in your ini. Do you pull with a differnt toon?

I do, yeah. I pull with my SK, just out of ease/because he's got like 800k hp. I can help you set that up if you need!

Was probably a mistake. I share my INIs in a bunch of places, and it's kind of a pain to keep updating them here. If you want a newer copy, just ping me on discord or PM here!

If I can take a stab at this.


I would figure it's to do with Class Synergy and the AAs.

In this case for a bard the Troubadour's Synergy, is triggered by the use of level appropriate Insult.





Starting with the obvious, using basic information from allakhazam for the spells, the higher level spell does more hitpoint damage. Therefore it makes sense to use higher level spell if you have the ability to scribe it.

• Sathir's Insult BRD/110 1: Decrease Hitpoints by 4895
• Omorden's Insult BRD/112 1: Decrease Hitpoints by 6606.
• Yelinak's Insult BRD/115 1: Decrease Hitpoints by 5937
• Sogran's Insult BRD/117 1: Decrease Hitpoints by 8011.

However, beyond damage is the synergy AA to consider.

• Troubadour's Synergy (11) 107 RoS Troubadour's Synergy II [ Sathir's Insult & Travenro's Insult ]
• Troubadour's Synergy (12) 112 ToV Troubadour's Synergy III [ Sathir's Insult & Omorden's Insult ]
• Troubadour's Synergy (13) 115 CoV Troubadour's Synergy IV [ Yelinak's Insult& Omorden's Insult ]
• Troubadour's Synergy (14) 117 ToL Troubadour's Synergy V [ Yelinak's Insult & Sogran's Insult ]

The synergy itself.

• Troubadour's Synergy II Increases the damage of 1 melee attack or direct damage spell by 45000 points.
• Troubadour's Synergy III Increases the damage of 1 melee attack or direct damage spell by 90000 points.
• Troubadour's Synergy IV Increases the damage of 1 melee attack or direct damage spell by 135000 points
• Troubadour's Synergy V Increases the damage of 1 melee attack or direct damage spell by 180000 points.

If you are autogranted, you will have rank 11. If there is a bit of grind but not finished you may have rank 12 or 13, and working towards getting rank 14.
I believe when the OP made the ini, perhaps the bard related had rank 13 and not yet to rank 14 or 15.


Pulling that together the choice is :-

• Yelinak and do 5937 damage + synergy for the bard & group to each get a damage bonus to a hit with melee or spell.
• Sogran and do 8011 damage, with no synergy.

Which boils down to using the Insult that's appropriate for your focus AA in the Troubadour's Synergy.




Regards and Best Wishes.

Yeah there's a chance I just changed my personal INIs to reflect where I was at
It's as easy to change as a Ctrl+H -> Nord's Disdain in place of whatever you want

How about amplification... I didn't think it stacked with the AA. Can probably switch it out for something else.
