Bard's Sheltering Etude bugged

in Bug Reports (PC)


If you apply Sheltering Etude on a target that is already under its effect the healing (as mentioned above) does only apply to targets below 50% HP and not for everyone independent of its % HP.
As this is one of the core group heals of a Bard this bug really hurts.

    That sounds like what the tooltip is describing is supposed to happen. What exactly is the bug? I'm not understanding.

    This is the part that does not work correctly:

    "If a target is already under the effect of Sheltering Etude, the effect will apply its heal and end immedtiately as the new effect is applied.

    The issue is that Sheltering Etude is consumed directly on targets below 50% of health on double-apply and a double-apply of Sheltering Etude has no effect on targets above 50% health. I would expect that a double-apply always triggers a 600 magnitude heal on targets below 50% AND above 50% health and does add another Sheltering Etude on the target. Otherwise the second-apply would not make any sense.

    Furthermore how do you want to double-apply Sheltering Etude on a target below 50% HP? Usually this is the moment the song would trigger its heal so it is consumed - no double-apply possible. For me it makes no sense the way it is implemented and sounds like a bug.

    There are 49 other options below the 50% threshold. If you heal one at 1% and heal them to 20%, let's say, then the second one would affect them for the heal and end.
    I'm not looking for forgiveness, and I'm way past asking permission. Earth just lost her best defender, so we're here to fight. And if you want to stand in our way, we'll fight you too.

    If the player's HP is below 50% then the second part in the Sheltering Etude description in meaningless because the player cannot be under the effect of the Sheltering Etude.

    This bug is absolutely devastating, if minstrels could use this as a AOE heal (As we should, as the tooltip CLEARLY states so) they would have a tool for the absolutely atrocious AOE heal they/we have now.

    As already stated, this is what does NOT work:

    'If a target is already under the effect of Sheltering Etude, the effect will apply its heal and end immedtiately as the new effect is applied.'

    Scenario:

    My party and I are in a dungeon. I apply Sheltering Etude to the party.
    Party takes damage from a big AOE spell and loose 40% HP. This does NOT trigger Sheltering Etude, as the team is above 50% Health = Working as intended.

    BUT...

    I then choose to apply Sheltering Etude again. According to the tooltip it should:

    A: Apply the Sheltering Etude heal.
    B: End the old Sheltering Etude.
    C: Apply a NEW Sheltering Etude.

    This is NOT working as intended. There is NO heal (A), it just ends the old buff (B) and applies a new buff (C).

    TLDR:

    We want the A to happen, as the tooltip CLEARLY states, without it we have no AoE heal.

    PS. This bug is on ALL platforms and have been reported a billion times now.

    On your own Trello bug site this bug is:

    #3973 Sheltering Etude

    It was entered August the 19th by Percemer.

    I will just let that stand for a second.... A well known bug. Since August the 19th.and still no solution.

    I don't think the Trello is official. I don't use it. I'll forward the thread again.

    @kreatyve Many thanks - It's frustrating that one of the main minstrel skills only works for half of what it is supposed to do.

    Wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
