Its been along time since ive visited or played, but have bards been changed back to being able to twist? loved to chant kite, but couldnt do it nearly as efficiently once the class was changed. Hoping they have been, so i can come back and enjoy the class again.
 
Nope, melodies are still around. Dots did get a damage bump to compensate for the loss of twisting, though.
 
I agree with Iae. Although I was frustrated at the class change at first, it was mostly a resistance to change overall. The changes were positive. Bards are still a GREAT all-around balanced class, and fun to play.

One thing to note, since I don't know when you left: when melodies initially went in, three beneficial songs would automatically refresh in your melody and you could sing one detrimental song on a target: no twisting involved. This was shortly changed to having two beneficial songs automatically refresh in melody, and you can sing one detrimental song on a target and have it pulse, or you can twist two.

I don't know if you stuck around long enough to see that change, but yes, you can twist, and yes, the DoT damage was increased to compensate, and yes, in the end it's better for the class overall.
 
Indeed, the code or whatever that was in place at the beginning had some very very buggy problems with dots on targets. You could get 2 on a mob after some studying how the mechanics were, but it was a lot of work to keep up. Then even doing this still took a large chunk of time to kill a single mob. Charm was also bugged, duration was poop and the song kept pulsing and draining your mana if you didnt put on a "junk" detrimental song. It was really just an all-around mess at first that I can gladly say has been resolved.

I can now semi-afk mass dot kite with no prob
