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% + 0.05% per point of Charisma above 0, at most 200%
- Skill Attack Power % reduction
- 2% at rank 1, +2% per rank (10% at rank 5)
- Attack Power % reduction
- Skill Attack Power % reduction × Song power
- Skill Spell Power % reduction
- 2% at rank 1, +2% per rank (10% at rank 5)
- Spell Power % reduction
- Skill Spell Power % reduction × Song power
Example ,rank 5,100 Charisma
10.5% Attack Power reduction, 10.5% Spell Power reduction
Song power: 100% + 10% × 0.5 = 105%
Skill Attack Power % reduction: 2% + 2% × (5 − 1) = 10%
Attack Power % reduction: 10% × 105% = 10.5%
Skill Spell Power % reduction: 2% + 2% × (5 − 1) = 10%
Spell Power % reduction: 10% × 105% = 10.5%
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.
