I am wondering if the percussion is a 7.0 modifier or a 70.0, if it is the latter, than this item is a MUST for all bards, it has better mod than the TDoK and the WDotR, im amazed
The "traditional bard way" as you put it, is EQDiva's way. I'm a traditional bard and I normally go by %, that was of course until sony wised up and made it so that we dont have to go online to compare them ^.^
TDoK has a 28 mod or 180%. this has a 17 or a 70%, not as good as epic, but if you collected all the instrument moding drops/quests from VP i think you could easily bank epic....i hate those lil ldon mods for instruments.
