Subject: Re: [eqbards] Another Lullaby question


I think the reason lullaby will never work to the degree we all want it too
is simple - it would devalue the enchanter class to such a huge degree there
would hardly be a need for them. It would be so hugely unbalancing that VI
will never make it work the way it seems it should.

An AoE mez that doesn't require mana, doesn't require targeting, allows you
to melee as well and crowd control with no effort, risk or thought other
than hitting a single hotkey is just too powerful.

It's the same reason they nerfed 54 chains.

Maybe what people should do is offer suggestions about how to balance the
song in a different way other than having it not work 90% of the time. Like,
make it cost mana for each pulse or make it effect the bard as well as the
mobs, or make it a single pulse song instead of a constant one.
