Just saw 3 pieces of this armor on the Xanadu website and I almost went into shock. No int on any of these pieces. Set bonus for 7 items is an increase for Dove Song. Unbelievable.

Dove song?  For the full set?  That's just downright insulting.

the vhalens stuff (legendary?) does have +28str/+28int on some gear, +28str/+28agi on other pieces and probably +28agi/+28int on others.

i assume a full set of the fabled EoF gear is similar..mix and match of +stats...dove song makes sense now with resisted spells.

 

 

-edit-

ok i AM insulted by the +60 damage to Tempo....

There were loud complaints when the coif dropped in beta. The lack of INT, the Clara's bonus and originally the Dove Song increase was the (5) item bonus and the (7) item was a 3% bonus to dps IIRC. The missing INT wasn't a huge concern at the time since we didn't know what the other items had as stats. Now we should be very concerned

Shows once again that the people designing the game and the loot neither knows or cares about how the bard classes actually work.Red flags were raised at Zanders boost AA, EoF Troubador armor just confirmed my beliefs.

don't know about you guys, but i /feedback'ed it. going to do it every day until something changes.... also it makes me sick comparing the dirge set bonus to ours... for 3 or 5 (forget which) pieces they can reduce the recast of cacophany of blades by 25seconds... what do we get? oh yeah claras damage upgrade, +10 to dove song, and a small dps modifier yay!!!! also blows that they do not have any intelegence on the set items... if the set happens to drop im only going to spend my dkp on it for the discovery and in hopes that someone smacks the item developer across the face and knocks some sense into them. . . . . . . .

+60 dmg to clara's- errm, ok. more damage is good, but why clara's? and why only 60 dmg?+6% spell crit- seems nice. but with no int on the set (maybe the other 4 items?) it is rather pointless. the other 4 items need to balance out the complete lack of int on the already known 3 items. i don't think they'll have int in the 40ies.+10 to dove song- ... might benefit some nukers, don't know. questionable bonus.so in conclusion: this set is worthless.

Dose anyone know where these drop yet?  I have seen one treasured lore "tradable" leather chest piece drop off a random named in LP that was part of a set for furys / wardens.  But being these fabled, im guessing they are from some 4x mobs in EOF?

We'll see how the stats are spread on the pieces. The skill increase could be usefull given the new mechanics But Clara's needs to be changed, at least make the set equal to the dirge set ( ideas could be a bonus to jester's reuse, or better, an increased duration, same with maestro ) i understand how a boost in clara's damage is usefull in order to compensate for the 2 seconds needed to stealth yourself only to get that backstab in, but a 5% in it's damage is nowhere near what would be gained via a shorter cast timer for stealth. And bard stealth needs to be changed ... still waiting... :smileywink:

With those stats its not worth it. Maybe getting 3 on for the damage boost to Clara, but the crit boost will be marginal compared to the damage boosts on relic armor. The armor seem to have more then decent resists tough, so I guess it will seep into most raiding troubs inventories. But as a full set used as primary gear? We'll have to see how much the combined stats adds to. The dove boost is ... not making sense.

the legendary can drop in any instance (or non-instance probably)the fabled gear drops in raid zones, so far i have only seen it drop in EH, i think thats where ramp got his as well

The dirges get the recast time of CoB reduced by 25 seconds when they have 3 pieces of their set .

Their PoM gets this insane bonus . So not only that they can auto attack and move while using it . with some armor pieces they can use it [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] often too .

Talk about f***ed up .

Just as a comparison, here are the stats from our legendary set:

Head - +28str, +28int
Chest - +28sta, +28agi
Shoulders - +28sta, +28int
Forearms - +28str, +28int
Hands - +28str, +28agi
Legs - +28str, +28sta
Boots - +28str, +28agi

total: +140str, +84sta, +84agi, +84int

Set bonus for 3: melee and ranged crit chance +2%

Set bonus for 6: Increases the damage of the bard's disease, mental and magic attacks by 50.

In conclusion, give the person who made the Vhalen's set a raise, and fire the one in charge of the fabled set. Or if this was same person, may I suggest drug councelling.

Suggested change for the Fabled set for troubadors:
 
Set bonus for 3 peices: The Dove Song bonus +10
Set bonus for 5 peices: 6% spell crits
Set bonus for 7 peices: reduce recast on Precision of the Maestro by 25 seconds. (its only fair, the dirges get this on their Cacophony of Blades for a mere 3 peices.)
 
Also more INT.
 
My personal importance on stats, from most important to least important: INT, STA, STR, AGI, WIS

 Well i must say im glad they finally figured out the buffs we use and started making mods for them but only wish it was a strait +100 to it instead of the7%. Pre eof AA's when my % was stuck at 30 it woulda been better then now that we have an upgrade aa based.   For this example i used 500 as the base damage form dissonate note At 30% a 7% increase would equal out to a 120 dmg increase to Aria's or 24% At 45% a 7% increase would eqaul out to 77 dmg increase to Aria's or 16% It woulda been alot nicer if they woulda stuck to there normal formula and just put +100 to aria's that way wHether we took that AA path or not we recive the same increase.
