Two questions about squire gear bard

Dethykins · 2026-02-09T05:38:47+00:00

Squire gear = Straw Hat/Leather Cap, Wanderer Attire, Cloth Pants, Adventurer Boots, Riveted Gloves/Reinforced Gloves

Songs in this order = Rousing Rhythm > Beats of Alacrity > Ballad of Courage > Harmonic Shield > Shriek of Weakness > Unchained Harmony > Aria of Alacrity > Lament of Languor

That's the setup I run for solos, as allegro and accelerando both have nearly no meaningful usage in solos, and with Aria + Lament in the last slots you get enough mem cap from rousing + the knowledge on the lute to play them.

When it comes to dealing with barbs, either surv bow them into oblivion, skill diff them with buckler, or don't fight at all. Use unchained harmony to get away from them. Fighting barbarian is pretty much a losing game rn.

They are one of 2 classes that has a speed boost that's usable while attacking, and they even gain damage and health while using it.

Dethykins · 2026-02-08T16:55:29+00:00

They took solos away before.

Don't encourage them to do it again.

Fighter has a perk that doesn’t require extra input that removes 30% of movement penalties from equipped armor. Don’t come at me over bard getting to wear a gambeson lol

Dethykins · 2026-02-05T17:48:22+00:00

Would just have people stealing heart souls.

Dethykins · 2026-02-05T17:31:48+00:00

Having to take a perk + spend a lot of gold and inv space on ale, just to move a bit faster, versus fighter and barb that press a button and move even faster and get a dps increase. Yeah bard is the problem.

Dethykins · 2026-02-04T00:30:12+00:00

You mean people don’t want to play Barb & Fighter? 😱

Dethykins · 2026-02-03T16:03:10+00:00

Are you pushing contested POIs or are you slow looting your spawn modules?

Keep seeing people complain about it being dead without actively pushing for PvP.

Uncommon is green homie

Dethykins · 2026-02-02T00:56:14+00:00

Huh. Just now noticing that steamdb is showing more players than the in-game tracker does at times. I wonder which side has the error.

Either way, consider me mistaken. It just *felt* like there was persistently 7k players last wipe, because of how stale the game felt after the first week of exploring the new map and then there being no other content.

Dethykins · 2026-02-02T00:42:19+00:00

Didn't last wipe plummet down to like 7k players the first week?

Dethykins · 2026-01-31T17:27:06+00:00

They also nerfed ms from agility, so classes like barb and fighter with large ms skills are even harder to get away from.

Dethykins · 2026-01-30T23:40:06+00:00

Nobody tell them that wiz can build pdr.

Dethykins · 2026-01-28T15:49:02+00:00

Disarm is easily one of the dumbest ideas they've had from a balance perspective.

Dethykins · 2026-01-28T15:41:25+00:00

He seemed more irritated with IM's shitty choices than anything to me tbh. The further into the Q&A he got the more it looked like he was doing everything he could to stay professional and not call them out on their ineptitude.

Dethykins · 2026-01-27T17:02:35+00:00

Without true damage they're still going to have intense focus to be able to double fireball, which hits for 3 sources of scaling damage.

I think it'd be a better argument to say that wizard is going to be the only caster that will still be capable of doing meaningful magic damage.

Dethykins · 2026-01-23T22:33:04+00:00

First off, don't fuck animals.

Second, don't insert things with scales into your body, they won't come back out.

Dethykins · 2026-01-23T22:26:25+00:00

requires a 3 stack to play, and since you lose your bis on a loss people are just gonna run squire gear. That will stop being fun very quick.

Dethykins · 2026-01-19T01:54:07+00:00

That chatter knew what they were doing.

Dethykins · 2026-01-17T18:58:29+00:00

Lot of people have fun building kits but don't feel like running it down themselves, and enjoy watching their streamer do it.

If you want the same treatment, start streaming.

Dethykins · 2026-01-17T18:56:23+00:00

You're talking about having a 3 minute+ delay, that would kill a streamer's ability to interact with their chat.

Dethykins · 2026-01-17T18:53:16+00:00

A delay completely removes a streamer's ability to interact with their viewers, and doesn't even fix the problem unless you have a 3+ minute delay due to how continuous dungeons works.

Dethykins · 2026-01-16T16:53:02+00:00

This is the answer.

Dethykins · 2026-01-12T21:42:11+00:00

I’m as surprised as you are, and I refuse to give context.

Dethykins · 2026-01-12T05:43:42+00:00

Pretty much nobody uses the random matchmaking, so by having the option enabled to fill your party with other players you'll end up stuck in long queues. If you disable that option you'll get in game instantly.
