Mechanics
Song Aura
Your selected song repeats automatically, renewing its duration after each cast. Spell Casting Haste speeds up these casts. The song lasts 20s after its last cast, even when you switch songs. Lingering Melody lengthens this duration.
Active Song Limit
A Bard sustains two songs by default (the Active Songs value in your character window). Starting another song at the limit ends the song you renewed longest ago. Learning Polyphony removes the limit. See Bard Songs.
Song Scaling
Bard
- Song power
- 100% + 0.1% per point of Charisma above 0, at most 300%
- Skill Accuracy reduction
- 3 percentage points at rank 1, +3 per rank (18 at rank 6)
- Accuracy reduction
- Skill Accuracy reduction × Song power
- Skill Critical Strike reduction
- 1 percentage point at rank 1, +1 per rank (6 at rank 6)
- Critical Strike reduction
- Skill Critical Strike reduction × Song power
Example ,rank 6,100 Charisma
19.8 percentage points of Accuracy reduction, 6.6 percentage points of Critical Strike reduction
Song power: 100% + 10% × 1 = 110%
Skill Accuracy reduction: 3 + 3 × (6 − 1) = 18 percentage points
Accuracy reduction: 18 percentage points × 110% = 19.8 percentage points
Skill Critical Strike reduction: 1 + 1 × (6 − 1) = 6 percentage points
Critical Strike reduction: 6 percentage points × 110% = 6.6 percentage points
Songs scale with Charisma, not Wisdom or Intelligence.
Resist Chance
Each point of the target's Magic Resist adds 0.05% to its chance to resist this debuff. Each 1% of the caster's Accuracy subtracts 1% from that chance. Each level the target is above the caster adds 0.5%, and each level below subtracts 0.5%, up to 10% either way. The chance stays between 0% and 90%. See resistance and avoidance.
This debuff has no effect on monsters whose pages list Immune to Debuffs.
Accuracy
Subtracts 18% from the affected character's Accuracy at rank 6, before Charisma scaling. This adds the same amount to the chance that its attacks and debuffs are blocked or resisted. Total Accuracy is limited to a value between -50% and 100%. See resistance and avoidance for each roll's limits.
Critical Strike
Subtracts 6% from the affected character's Critical Strike at rank 6, before Charisma scaling. Total Critical Strike cannot fall below 0%. See critical hits for the extra damage.
