instant dd bard/minstrel/skald

[jeroxduponey]

you should fix it, those dmg are ridiculous (2 dd and the caster is at middle life....).

Skald already nerferd guy.
DD's are normal.
it's hard to solo with a skald:)

I feel they are a sad too high.  Taking 250-300ish damage (without AoM) per DD.  Using both thats a nice 500-600 dump.  A possible solution to this high damage would be to give CL Resist buffs ;/

That is a lot of damage although they themselves do not think they are doing that much damage because the damage they are seeing on their screen is 20% less damage than what you are seeing on your screen so in their defense they will say no no not true!  See my post http://www.instantpvp.smfnew.com/index.php?topic=50.0

Perhaps the damage bonuses are being calculated after the user has casted the spell but before the target receives it?

but we already get cl resist buffs from the bb.

one reason they're so high is because we get capped everything. last time i played live i don't believe i ever saw a skald/minst template that had 10 resist pierce, 10 spell dmg, capped skills and capped charisma.

I havent received any CL buffs... I guess that is just because I'm not CL5 yet.

No thats not entirely true.  The insta dds hit for so much because for some reason they do 20% more damage on your screen than they see on their own.  I have done tests to see the difference between nightshade insta DD and bard/skald insta dd and the bard and skald insta DD shows a 20% increase in damage on the targets screen.  In otherwords the DD hits for 220 damage on the skalds screen but its 264 damage on your screen.  Even normal caster spells only show a 5% increase in damage between screens why there is even a difference I do not know.

Even if its a display issue, the fact is they still hit too hard.  It's not hard to notice that after 1 style and 2 DD's you lose quite a chunk of hit points starting at 100% dropping to 65% or even lower.

I believe it to be a display issue but I think what you see displayed on your screen is the true damage not what the skald/bard/minst sees so yes it is doing way to much damage and needs to be fixed but who knows when the server will be back up again if ever.
