Song of Aid and Champions

[Casilune]

It occurred to me that Song of Aid's effect on Champions (gain an Enemy Defeat Response) doesn't actually DO anything, because Champions don't use defeat responses. How should this be adjusted so that the skill has an effect on everyone?

Used to main champion years ago.

Our power restore skill is/was a defeat response, aswell as if I recall resetting fevor skill also had a chance to happen on defeat.

Not anymore, the only response skill i can think of that we still have is Riposte (parry-response). Not sure what it could be changed though atm

Parry response or an instant fervour pip or two seems appropriate.

When classes were changed a few years ago this minstrel skill was made almost useless. For quite awhile the responses it listed didn't even exist in the game anymore, iirc. It's a sad shadow of its former self and I don't really see it as worthwhile these days.

Surely it couldn't be too hard to change some of the effects tho? Could be some sort of power restore and +damage for the duration of the song or something?

Song of aid and call to greatness were always on the level of meh skills with stupid long cooldowns, considering effect. I dont think devs have it on too high on their list due to this and amount of work it takes to update these 2 skills x10 effects per skill. I would rather see call to second age buff range adjusted.

We don't have any active skills that proc on a defeat response, and I highly doubt this procs passives buuut, there is a +5 fervour passive upon a successful kill (KB though, so doubt that works), and the same for a 10% heal.

The Song of Aid skill is absolute gash anyway though..

Hunters beg to differ.

that too is a good suggestion.

Indeed, it's very good for Hunters. However,
