How does baod work? How much resist does it give? It's a set amount or based on something or what? Includes melee resists too?

Gee, by speccing into sos, i lose avoid pain, ignore pain, purge, and a lot of other important RA's as a minstrel.

/rollseyes

Any chanter who doesn't get baod after mcl is a moron anyway, or solos/small mans exclusively. In a group, every chanter should have it, just the same as every cleric has bof, because it is clearly the best ra they can get. Saying a chanter needs dmg ra's over baod is like saying a cleric needs healing ra's over bof. It's retarded.

Who cares if the only debuffer in a debuffnuke grp is oom all the time, as long as you have the mighty BAoD every 30 minutes. You will be unkillable! Now if you only had mana after BAoD runs out...

Doesn't include melee resists. It's a flat 50% increase to magic resists if it is how it worked on live. This also means things like nearsight which completely neuter casters and support last a few seconds at best if applied to a target with the effect. Basically anything casted on anything with it up does very little (roots, mez, nearsight, magical snares / healer or minstrel stuns, damage).

Also those cute little debuffs set up before debuff nuking people, they won't even last long enough for a caster to actually use a nuke after debuffing because the debuff will instantly expire as a result. Those 500 dmg cabalists without debuff turn into 250 baseline nukes, and oh yeah, that'll get cut by the aura as well, so those caba nukes effectively turn into sub triple digit (<100 dmg) with it up. This is without a warden as well. WIth a warden you're pretty much effectively immune to magic damage altogether with it up.

But yeah, those poor little enchanters need mastery of the art, aug acuity, and wild power first or else they do no dmg.

plays a minstrel not enchanter, has multiple people disagree, still thinks he's right.

Enchanters actually only need /release

No i just laugh at people saying they'd trade 2x gp for sos.

Fine, but let's trade your baod for our bof and we'll call it square son.

you are the only person who compared bof to boas but ok signature less random minstrel.

English more random bard

might wanna check your pot management if you are oom every fight. especially with 3 power relics

It's not like you won't run oom even with perfect pot management.

So the bottom line is, just drink enough pots, spec BAoD asap, drop it and rule the frontiers every 30 minutes.

I am glad I finally know what to do with my ench.

you probably wont rule the frontiers even with baod. some player skill is still required :>
