    While not a super new build 'fire horns have always been around' I dont see anyone using them. Recently I bought up a bunch of these to try with a very specific built. Keza Clef uses the horns quite effectively to add 40-70 damage every 15ish seconds during boss fights. The cooldown on these horns is 10 second and costs 15 ash.

    This is my first adventure with the Fire Bard build, but there are sure to be more!



    Specifics on the fire horn can be found at the link to it. Basically for more bardic skills you have, the more damage it does!

    @Keza did you happen to keep track of the horn breakage rate?

    Any experience with that you could share? Did it feel like 14%?

    Hmm, I took in 1050 ash, came out with 180 not used (also looted 6). That mean I used the fire horns 58 times within the map, 7/10 of the horns broke. Brings the numbers about 8.25 uses/horn.

    Thats the only info I have to go off of for their breakage at the moment. I'll record as I continue to use them and see if 8.25 uses/horn is normal.

    The horn failed 2 of 60 times on that run I did, guess thats something.

    Website Formula
    prov + disc / 5 + peace / 5
    maxDamage = ( total * 2 ) / 30
    minDamage = ( maxDamage * 7 ) / 10


    GM provo + GM Discordance (numbers based on website data, clearly wrong or missing parts)
    100/5 + 100/5 = 40
    40*2/30 = 2.66 max?
    2.66*7/10 = 1.86 min?

    I tried playing around with the formula, cant figure it out but I think the 2.66 rolls into another formula THEN hits the target. Let me know if you guys find anything.

    Soloed the Red Christmas Scroll today with the Fire Bard. Pretty much a cake walk but I still died once lol. For those wondering I used the fire horns 45 times within the zone and 8/10 broke by the end.

    This is a Halloween video but it features a great holiday use for the Fire Bard build. Also, this thread could use a bump for those who have never used Firehorns.

    awesome vids, and wow! I knew what firehorns were used for somewhat but didnt realize they could do that kind of damage.
    Does the most skill points you have into the music related skills such as Provo, peace discord all tie into the damage or just level of skill in music alone such as Just musicianship ?

    It adds up your possible damage from 400 skill points of music skills. I did some testing and with only 200 skill points (GM music + 1 GM skill) the Fire Horn only hits single target for 65ish. 300 skill points = 80ish damage, and the full 400 skill points can hit for 90ish damage. Not really sure how all the math is worked out but those were the numbers I got while testing the Fire Horn.

    Some fun clips of the firehorn making bosses melt. Watching them burn never seems to get old :D
