[Fixed 68231] Bard Song: Atonal Aria inconsistenct behaviors

Lazlo I tried staying stationary atop the target and had the same results.

 

I would like to bump this thread, Atonial Aria is very buggy for me, here are the issues I have with it :

1. Sometimes it will ALWAYS work on a Dummy, other times it will NEVER work on a Dummy (went in basement, placed Dummys, cast, it works, leave basement, come back, cast, doesn't work)

2. If the enemy leaves the initial AoE, even if he comes back he will not get damaged again.

3. If the enemy was not in range upon the initial cast, it will never take damage from AA.



The spell would be fine if 1. it had a larger range, 2. would stay in position (like a totem) but actually refreshed on every target re-entering its range and 3. Would work every time a target is in range.

It is impossible to cast the spell in advance, it is impossible to use it against mobs who move around even just a little, and it is impossible to use skills like Push/Pull or heck even concussive canticle (with bard spec) because you will move the mob out of the initial AoE and the damage will never proc anymore. This spell is only good if you manage to lock every single mob in a tiny area around you.

 

Tore me up in PvP. I am wondering if it aint intended for humanfolk.

Title: Atonal Aria does literally nothing.
Reproduction Rate: 100%
Blocker?
Details: Mind lock, 6 stack of Atonal Aria, standing right next to my training dummy in Beran's Reach, also standing right next to Elder Timber Wolf in Deep Ravenswood. In both cases, Atonal Aria didn't do anything.
Steps to Reproduce: Cast Atonal Aria on any valid target, single tap, full charge, or full stack.

Append:

Attempted to single tap and it did work. So Mind Lock a full stack doesn't work... let me try to charge it now.

 

Final append:

Only works at a level 1. Any level of Atonal Aria after that does nothing.

 

Here is the video evidence that using a one tap of the skill works while charging it does not work.

 

I'm trying to repro this using a locked glpyh, and using a 1,2,3,or 4 stack on a practice dummy in my basement is working OK.. Tested with unlocked glyphs is also working OK for me

Tested in Soltown Catacombs and it's not working properly:
- Single stack only works on highlighted target - it doesn't do the described AOE in the description, and doesn't reliably hit multiple times.
- Multtiple stack doesn't work consistently.. sometimes the original target will take a single hit from it, seemingly at random.

Based on the skill description, my expectation is this should work like Immolation but with no DOT and a larger radius.

Hello. I am playing a brand new Tamer/Bard (can you smell the freshness?) and am having problems actually doing damage with AA and CC. I tried standing in the middle of a group of 4-6 Elves or 2-3 trolls in the Lost Vale Troll area repeatedly and it did ... nothing (other than use up lots of time). Maybe 1 hit for 10-20 at 80+ skill and 20+ spec and 40-60 passives. It did not do 0 damage since that would be recorded in the combat logs (at least it is for archery) and I did not see messages saying I was doing no damage to half a dozen enemies. It did actually knockback (at least visually) once or twice even though I saw no damage logs. I have no way of determining whether it accurately does -crit as specified nor can I figure out whether the song actually calculates targets at start time or end time (I tried standing in the middle of a crowd for the entire time but only got 1 hit on the half dozen that were around me).
Justiciar Songbird's char stats are variable increasing but generally near or at GM all non-spec with a Nightmare summoned that reduces my Focus pool to about 350 and spec tamer/bard. Maybe I have too few fp to cast a useful AA/CC?
Thanks.

 

Atonal Aria does not require focus for its damage and Concussion Canticle deals damage proportionate to your max focus, but should still deal damage with 350 focus. Atonal Aria is simply too broken to be usable and unless Chris actually fixes it, it is too inconsistent to be part of any deck IMO.

 

Sorry but I tried both and neither appears to actually deal damage. Does CC deal damage proportional to normal max focus or current max focus (if you have a pet summoned)?

 

Current Max Focus, you should usually see the Tooltip update as your max focus changes, Pets, Aetheric Feedback, and whatever temporary buff you could possibly get (Aetheric Potion? That Aether lich potion) will change the base damage from Concussive Canticle.

Atonial Aria does not have its damage modified by focus, unless it has changed, both because that isn't how it is supposed to work, but also because it simply doesn't work at all.

 

I dunno if this was the skill or not @kaeshiva @Scoffer but one of the bard skills lands where you were when you Began casting it, instead of where you are when you finish

so if youre running the aoe ends up way behind you

 

Ditto, Atonal Aria does no damage to little pigs at 144+.

New patch underway to fix Atonal Aria and also a few small exploits that have apparently been around for a while. Should be out in about 3 hours.

This is now working correctly on build 1354. This is now damaging Practice Dummy and killed all the undead and a doe in Solace Bridge.
