So I recently started a new bard. Been playing for about a week. Got the first Scream concuss. I am hoping this is a know problem and being worked on possibly? No matter the skill disparity I can only land glancing hits on anything.

Yeah, it's useless as things stand. Basically it got ported over from 2.0 without being adjusted for the new combat paradigm, which resulted in its current form. I wouldn't expect the current version to get any attention, though, since Raesh intends to completely rewrite Bard abilities, including screams.

Well that is super sad to hear. With all the other changes that are much higher up on the list im sure, this could be a year or more away easy.

At least it is still useful for Bardic Lore :)

Which is, in itself, totally useless at this point. It's not a current requirement and it'll be grandfathered (so I'm told) once it's actually required for leveling.

That being said, I still train it. With Scream Defiance and Whistle Piercing. Plus Scream Havoc if I happen to be in combat.

Bardic Lore is crawling up the list. It's likely to be a major focus once the current wave of magic fixes (Which is going to involve a lot of work on bard spells) is pushed out.

Are you able to post a timeline when the next round of magic fixes will be in test?
