As if Bards weren't gimp enough already

Was feeling a bit masochistic yesterday so I took my bard out for awhile. Sonic blast didn't work about 30% of the time, healing spells didn't work about then same, sound burst about the same. Sometimes the animation showed but most of the time just nothing, except spell points got used, of course. Wondering if the same is happening to other spell casters. Looks like my bard is going to get parked again till Turdbine gets around to fixing this.

you failed at searching here and on the main forum... Oh wait... you don't have access to the various Fight Clubs...

It has been reported last week to MajMal in the Fight Club...

Don't look at the "official" forums much any more, but, thanks for the info anyway. Did see the posts here about the targeting bug, but didn't think that should affect healing spells since I was alone and nothing else around but me. So I guess we can expect a fix "soon", maybe in 2016?

I hated playing casters for the longest time due to...

1) Your are not facing...

2) Out of range...

But, after playing a Druid (and several other Druid lives) I learned to like playing a caster and am having a blast playing my evoker FVS both in DC, EA and off-destinies (but not so much this).

I am not sure if targeting changed sometime during the past 3 years or I got better at playing a caster /shrug.

Regardless, other than the annoyance of the EA Soundburst SLA needing a hard target I rarely if ever get the "You are not facing" or "Out of range" message and my spells seem to land as expected.  This morning I did have to move around a bit fighting some Hobgoblins in Epic BoB because I was getting the "Out of range" message but like I said this doesn't happen but once every 20+ hours of gameplay.

Turbine looked at how godawful the targeting is for artificer CureAd spells, and decided all other spellcasting was op.

I don't want to get started on bards. I started 5 years ago and haven't stopped and I don't think I can do two at a time.

Have you tried a lower difficulty, such as the official forums?
