<<6) Moderate to significant (depending on your circle) increase to upper limit on bonuses for the following dances: Swan, Cobra, Badger, Eagle, Bear.>>

I know you cross-posted there but is this live in plat?
Not really noticing a moderate to significant boost to badger. Maybe I was just expecting more. I'll test eagle and wolverine later.

How much you get depends on your skill(s). It's certainly better than it was prior though the way dances are set up it tends to favor higher circle players. Going to overhaul it properly when I get the time. Right now just getting the bonuses back to where they were prior to concentration update.

Reminds me of a line from a movie ... Vince Vaughn re: goals (Dodgeball) ...

"I found that if you have a goal, that you might not reach it. But if you don't have one, then you are never disappointed. And I gotta tell ya' it feels phenomenal."

So yeah don't get your hopes up until you try it. :-P

That would explain it. I thought this included the mid-level boost to dances. Thanks for the reply, Ssra.

I can honestly say if it was any other GM I would've been very negative throughout. While I was upset our dances were boned, I knew in the end, Ssra would make something good happen... and he did.

Thanks for being you dude.
You rock.

Is there a reason we thought the most powerful boost in the game needed to get even more overpowered at high levels?

Nerf khri spar, improve dragon dance. That's interesting.

I'm gonna make just a small suggestion. If you would post your concerns over at the thieves guild folders I'm sure the GM's might actually read it and care what you have to say.

Over here however it just comes across as you being a turd (read as a multiple of random descriptions not allowed by SIMU posting policy).

I'm just wondering, considering they were both percentage boosts that are OP at high levels. Seems like dragon dance really didn't need a power boost to me, and it seems like the thing most people were complaining about was the duration, which wasn't tweaked here at all.

>>Nerf khri spar, improve dragon dance. That's interesting.

A) It strikes me as very apt that Barbarians have the most powerful melee booster in the game.

B) Khri spar had more than one kind of bonus to the same skills (or so I hear), which seems very odd to me.

C) Dragon Dance's max cap has been increased slightly but, due to the concentration changes, overall it is still harder to use than it was before. Making it slightly more powerful in exchange for a moderate increase in difficulty (to an ability that already requires 100+ circles to be able to use effectively) seems very equitable to me.

>>Ssra's changes.

Thanks a lot Ssra, that was much more than I expected. Upping Swan's usefulness was nice, but it was even more interesting what you did with Swan and Cobra. That gives both dances a very unique niche to fill and makes dances a viable combat strategy for younger Barbarians than they ever were before. My hat's off to you.

Please wonder elsewhere.

This is the Barbarian category and won't be a fertile plot of land for the GvG crops you are wishing to sow.

Please take it to complaints or Equine Cemetery or something.
