Minstrel-> How to fix bugged songbook : LOTRO - Discussions

The bug is caused by the new 10s War-Speech penalty.

1. Get your un-bugged mini, check BC heal numbers.
2. Activate War-Speech
3. De-activate War-Speech
4. After 10s cooldown, Check your BC. You now have gimped heals, forever until you die.

one good observation from thread:

quote

I noticed that when I have this bug, additional healing bonuses from tiered ballads and Call to Greatness add almost nothing to my healing amount, it's like a fraction of a percent.

Then when I suicide, not only is my normal healing amount fixed, but also the bonuses I get from other sources such as tiered ballads works again. For example before the cliff jump, Call to Greatness added 0.05% to my Bolster, and after it added a whole 7%, and even though the Call to Greatness tooltip says 10%, I'm guessing 7% is probably correct because of the new way of calculating heals, but I'm not sure, I haven't done the math.

This makes me think the bug is not specific to songbooks, but rather has something to do with healing bonuses in general not being applied correctly when a toon is bugged out

end of quote

solution-> die

and death by misadventure doesn't increase your repair bill but you do get the 5 dread (fixed by hope token

lloks like a non dieing fix is on the way

Re: Bug in Minstrel Books, maybe tied to scrolls of Empowerment?

The bug has been found and corrected. It is in the Volume 3 Book 1 build.

Basically the issue was related to an effect applied by War-speech when it was turned off that wasn't ever going away. That is why dieing clears the bug. It is not related to a Legendary Item legacies at all.

I think lotro is doing good when it comes to updates. They are really intend with the community. Turbine is one of my fav companies out there for community feedback.

well community maybe but individual gm support (not sure if it is outsourced or what) isn't that great it took 3 in game tickets and even a posting in the customer support forum just to get the goat from som

and the problem must be still so widespread they are shipping the goat out again to all players in the book 3 1 patch

I don't really see what the bug is really...

As I understand, if you turn WS on and off it gives you lesser heals but I don't notice a difference to be honest. (checked tooltip, turned WS on and off and waited for the debuff to wear off and then checked again, same heals)

It isnt a USEFUL bug but it affects minstrels who use war speech so as an FYI I posted a work around way to fix it prior to the patch fix that is coming up

minstrels who are in war speech then drop war speech to go full heal lose about 10% of their heals

so you have to die to get back to 100% heals until the patch

Like I said: it makes no difference for me :S Same heals before and after war speech (Checked after a death)

umm then disregard??

the problem is widespread enough that it received a rare dev response at the main forums

hence this thread
