Gone a couple months. What the heck?

What happened to my troubador? My charm.. seems to have been changed... and its overall very weak compared to what it used to be.. 12 second duration? 45 second recast? What gives? I really dont understand it. My mez spells also have been drastically reduced in effectiveness.. which I somewhat understand from the control change patch of Live Update.. I also cant put my finger on it.. but aria of exaltation seems to have been lessoned extensively.. Maybe I am just being paranoid but it barely procs now.  I  try playing my bard since I came back and I am finding myself struggling to solo the way I was when I left. I can barely kill an even ^ now without extensive difficulty...<div></div>

you hit it right on we have had some major nerfs recently with barely any compensation. <div></div>

I have been talking to other troubadors and they basically pointed this out to me. Its a real shocker. I am suddenly less inclined to play my troub now and am more drawn to my SK and berserker. Its kinda sad that charactor is sitting at level 60 and everyone wants my troub to raid with them. But the solo play feels almost unbearable now <img src="/smilies/1cfd6e2a9a2c0cf8e74b49b35e2e46c7.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

Welcome to the suck that is the post-LU23/24 Troubador.

SOE wanted to see if they could create a record low for a class on a server.  Hell nafagen only has 4 troubadors at 70 and I think two of them dont even play anymore.      Pretty much SOE has slowly been draining any fun this class offered.  I still enjoy my troubador but a couple more patches like this and I may create a new main.   <div></div>

Ya.. looks like I am gonna be rerolling as a coercer. I made the troubador to be an enchanter/scout hybrid. Not a buffbot, And thats all I feel like on my troubador anymore. It makes me sad. But I am gonna have to say level 61 will be the highest my troubador ever gets. <div></div>
