Blade Dancer buffs

[SuiSui7]

how exactly do they stack with other buffs? I am level 67 BD and I noticed that if I have full ISS buffs I can't use my dances. If I use my dance it just doesn't appear.

Why won't the buffs stack?

[xTiferet]

Because that was an oversight fixed with Harmony patch. Most dances are cancelled when you learn Iss buffs, so it's an obvious thing they can't stack with each other.

umm wouldn't that make BD completly useless? since what is left is pretty much only auto attack..

[xTiferet]

Unless your party gets sonatas and harmonies, you can still use the combo dances.

Blade Dancer are not COMPLETE useless, even with the new harmonies for mentors.

I highly doubt that EVERY party 85- have a Iss ready to rebuff sonatas every 4 minutes outside IT. Some dances, like Rhythm of Combat Dark can still be used even with full mentor buffs (Melodies and Harmony).

Mentor+harmony don't cover dances. Sonatas do but they last 4.5 min at +0. So you can't just go town to get each time. And most low lvl parties dont have an iss rdy all the time.

i can use my dances with mentor buffs?

[xTiferet]

Yes.

[Filipe92]

bd = hex and hit.

[xTiferet]

I remember there's a skill that gives the bleed effect too.

Deadly strike and Sting

but the damage are low compared with OL,WC or other enchanters? i know the OL have Steal Essense(full mana and hp all the time), but the melee damage of BD/SD can hunt solo for example? i want ISS but i don´t like magic orcs.


lol, sorry for the english.

edit> can´t see the skill deadly strike, where i learn?npc,quest?

[xTiferet]

BD/SWS can perfectly solo and it's better than an orc, talking about looks.

[SydBarret]

For the things that I see, is easy to grind with a bd (before lvl 80 I lvl up by solo).

Bd, dances or rythm does not stack with the new buffs (sonatas overwrithe that). The only "dance" you can still use after awake is "Defense motion" but, is not recommended cause, you cant lear horn melody if you mantaing dm, and, in party lvl (you need party allways after 86+) there is no sense to use defense unless you have a party with 2 iss enchanters (you and another one).

For sws, renewal and warding stack with the new buffs, but, if you plain to make a wizard party, they can get very frustrating with you, cause, you cant use these 2 songs with wizard harmony, and you can only give to him warrior harmony (-34% of matak). But some sws keeps these 2 songs cause the +30% mdef are a good stat up. The same apply to the battle wispher like defense motion.

I hope that u can understand me

PD: sorry for my bad english
PD: The only reason to make a orc iss enchanter is because is more easy to lvl up (much more easy). OC allways talking about Overlord but not Wc (for the soul guard and under prot of paagrio).
