Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Suggestions and Feedback The Bard Class

I really appreciate the effort you put into this suggestion for the Bard class.

As rude as the other comment might have been, it was not entirely wrong. You might want to take a deeper look at the current battle system, because your suggestion simply is difficult, if not impossible, to work.

Being an AOE does not make an ability powerful. Almost every ability in this game is AOE.

The AOE regen song could be strong if the numbers were right. But the number you suggested simply was not worth dedicating a party member to do it. And it's probably better to put the regen thing on a summoner's totem, which you can summon and then leave it be.

Using an ability before the battle starts is a common strategy. Why should I use the song when I could precast better stuff like fortify or high level AOE spells?

And yes, there will not be a new class or new skill tree unless someone in Larian REALLY want to make one.

The closest thing that could be similar to bard songs would be channeling spells: Spells that take effect continuously throughout the entire battle until the channeling is broken by damage or CC.
