So I never really played a bard, long story short I have a 120 provo 120 music 120 discord mage and while out and about trying the character out I noticed that I fail way way more then I ever expected. Is this because I do not have 120 peacemaking for that hidden % bonus? I was using a reptile slayer instrument vs a greater dragon, at 120/120 provo I expected more then 1 out of 15 attempts to work. I'm going to go try a dragon slayer, but really I'm pretty disappointed.
I understand barding difficulty in terms of what the number means and does. I do not understand how the music/provo/discord all works and adds up vs that barding difficulty. I looked at poos faq and according to my numbers I should be close to 25% without adding in slayer or the bonus off disco.. if there is such a bonus.. I always was under the impression there was. 120 provo +120 music gives me 140 for terms of barding diff. Add in the % off slayer then I'm at least 150 if not 160 (going to say 10% for the reptile, hoping 20% for dragon).. add in disco and i'm above.. right?
So why do I fail way more then 25%?
I'm assuming greaters are 160 barding as it said nothing goes above and I am not a tamer so verifying is tough. But let's assume it's higher, more like 180 as that would make more sense to the numbers I'm seeing..
How do I get higher chances vs a 180 barding diff monster, IF max I can see happening is 160.. that gives 50% chance at 120/120? Seems pretty weak for the amount of time put into getting to 120...considering a ninja has a 85% chance to cast their hardest spell at 120, and a mage is 100% at 120 for highest level spells..
I should also mention that while every other skill has a mastery now, the bard mastery seems to be the same as it was.. the boost that was supposed to make bards viable again in many ways.. I guess they were forgotten again?
short end of the stick is what im seeing! but any tips would be great, I am thinking the 120 peacing would help boost that barding diff % so I could get higher % of success. Otherwise I'm not sure what to do.
