    So on the Concussive Canticle spell in the Bard tree it says in red ''LOSE X FOCUS''. So, if i understand right, the caster losses X Focus.

    I dueled this morning a bard, and as a Chaos Mage using Chaotic feedback, my Chaotic Feedback did over 750 dmg to me.

    I did check the combat log, I did get hit by the bard spell, then it said I got slain from Chaotic Feedback.

    (Since Chaotic Feed back hurts me for 1.5dmg per Focus spent/lost)

    Reproduced it with Coswald Dirthmire, either on him or myself, the focus lost is onto the ennemy target. I don't mind it, but it's not clear at all, specially in red like it is.[​IMG]

    Try posting the bug reports with a clear step by step repro or they will get ignored.

    The "Lose X focus" is definitely missleading. Its does sound like its meant for the caster but could also mean it does that as part of the attack and hurts the focus of those hit by the canticle in pvp (since mobs dont have focus). If that is the case, its working as intended.

    As you can see, you took 104 damage + 141 = 245 HP damage
    You also took 104 focus damage.

    Descriptions in this game need to be taken at face value. If they worded it as focus damage, everyone would of thought it was some sort of CF or Torpid torment. Its the first time there is a focus attack in the game and is worded poorly.
