Coda Damage

[Yaviere]

You shouldn't worry too much. I'm level 63 with my minstrel and can handle 3 or 4 yellow or even orange mobs at once (3 if all use range attacks). What you do is keep running all the time which already reduces any melee damage dealt to you by about 50% or more.
You use ballad 3 times (switch to a different one on the 2. cast to build up anthem more quickly), then use all your area shouts (legendary Cry of the Wizards is very very powerful for it also slows down movement and attack speed), then launch your heal-over-time-anthem and finish with Coda. That way you'll get a very strong heal over time. Continue now as you like (while still running), use morale-shield and/or SoSpirit if necessary. And if something really goes wrong, well, you always have your emergency button to feign death on a 5 minute cooldown.

I've been doing the Moria intro on my lvl 45 minstrel, and a coda only hitting for about 300 damage is a real PITA when fighting mobs 5 levels above your own, with all the misses and such. Questing on level is ok, though soooo much slower than pre U5. I'd love to see a fix to this issue asap.

What issue???? The fact that you're attacking mobs 5 levels above you? Or the fact that you don't understand that when attacking mobs 5 levels above you, you'll miss alot and when you do it, they'll mitigate alot of the damage you put out?

It has always been that way.

Like some came to my thread about Revenge getting nerf the reply was:
Fironeg: Good. I hope they get nerfed even more.
But im not here to do the same thing ;p
Minstrel is imba.Period.To be able to fully heal and explode dps around is really..out of place atm
I agree it should be like that,but not now...later maybe if all classes(both factions) be too strong
Just the coda was nefed a bit which tbh it needed some for pvp proposes only.

Now you mate above...you are lvl 45 what did you expect?;p moria is 50lvl+
Minstrels are in a really good position atm just relax guys everything will be fixed

Coda was nerfed about %40. Which was more than "a bit" and it is already considered a bug.

Sorry creeps, I don't feel like your PvMP should affect my PvE.

Orion, could we please have a ETA on the fix?

When you're soloing on level, you should go like a hot knife through butter most of the time, but face occasional fights that are a lot harder than that. That's indeed been my experience, and I very rarely use codas.

Tier 1 skirmish encounters were pretty risky until I got good endgame gear. Now I'm finding Tier 2 skirmishes to be hazardous to my health.

And I have huge troubles with Icy Crevasse even on Tier 1 ...

I happen to have duoed some of the traditionally harder landscape quests, which made almost all of them easy, but I think with care they could have been soloed as well.

[Yaviere]

I can run almost all skirmishes T2 solo without any problems. Only exception as far as I've come is Icy Crevasse but then, that's nothing new.
T3 is quite impossible (solo mode) but maybe with max level and decent gear it'll become possible. It's fine for duo.

I run TIII skirmishes daily (solo mode) and have no issues. Once AoW is up, my coda's are still critting for well over 3k regularly. IMO, that's still hitting plenty hard.

You'll have to explain which part I'm supposed to re-read. My statement still stands.

What im saying its op for pvp purposes.That nerf to only be there(apply) in pvp only
Remember that thingy with fervour?when in ettens champs didnt have the -30%inc healing im sure you do
I have a minstrel and i know what light armor means
Just going there and calling me creep because i play one too since i started lotro
doest mean that you should call me one ;p

[ElConando]

Yeah I can understand that pre-U5 CoF stood out above and beyond all of the other damage skills and apparently lowered the skill cap quite a bit for playing Minstrel in moors. I'm totally fine with it being balanced (say like a %20 reduction in damage, or less of a critical magnitude without AoW), but to almost halve the damage output of the main single target DPS skill immediately after the minstrel revamp would be a bit... harsh. So I'm glad that it was a bug, and I think a reasonable adjustment (nerf) would be fine.

Edit: This is coming from a solo-PVE perspective, so if I *could* have all the damage back plus animation fixes I gladly would. Some things you need to meet folks half way on.

repeat after me: "The PvE game will never be changed for PvP purposes."

Elco realised what i sid in a 100% so..stop it
I mean ONLY when you get in moors and thats all.WHEN IN pve it should do what it did before U5

[Rorgg]

Not sure what "Elco realised what i sid in a 100%" means, but hey, great. "It needed to be nerfed" after a game-wide nerf including PvE hardly implies exclusivity.

i'm sry Rorgg... but i too understand 100% what he is saying. its quite simple rather. it's almost like an invisible debuff to coda the SECOND you step in moors, and when you step out the invisible debuff is gone. i'm sure thats what he's saying. he's not saying to mess with PvE cuz i know lotro is a PvE based game due to.... some "people"... not allowing a full blown PvP to be implemented into the game lol.


on a side note... Orion.. ETA plz on the coda fix? :\ was nice actually being able to be considered "dps" for a bit. would a simple hotfix not do it?

[Nytshade617]

Hotfixes are only for Cosmetic Horses and bugs that shorten the "endgame grind" for armor.
