Does anyone know what the range on the fatesinger mantle is like?

Was wondering if this mantle would be worth using if you are a ranged or spellcaster bard. Is this range on the mantle damage really short?

IMO it's not worth your time.

Maybe DA or shiri would be better mantles for a caster bard

Yea, thats what i was afraid of. SSG keeps forgetting that mantles should not have range limitations because that just means ranged/caster builds gets screwed over.

Not sure why anybody other than a swash bard would want to invest in that pile of shit in the first place.  It’s kinda funny - and telling - that FS’s mantle scales by with 200% melee or ranged power on a defensive proc that only affects your immediate area.

Seriously though, if you’re playing a ranged or caster toon that needs localized defensive procs from mobs, you’re doing it wrong.

Might have been good if it didnt have a range limitation and it was based on your attacks. Would synergize well with the sonic vulnerability in the ED.

Clearly they designed it around Cordo.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

That's a major problem with some of the ED abilities.  There should be synergy, but there isdn't. Like the tier 5 LD that improves your "improved sunder and improved trip".

Only problem, dire charge doesn't apply IMPROVED version of either. Wtf?
