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 Category: Bard Celerity Song
A target keeps one song of each category, including songs from other Bards and Bard mercenaries. A stronger song replaces a song in the same category. At equal strength, the song already active stays.
Strength is the sum of the song's movement speed, Attack Power, Spell Power, Haste, Spell Casting Haste and Accuracy bonuses. All except movement speed include the singer's Charisma scaling.
See Bard Songs.
Song Scaling
Bard
- Song power
- 100% + 0.1% per point of Charisma above 0, at most 300%
- Skill Haste
- 2% at rank 1, +2% per rank (10% at rank 5)
- Haste
- Skill Haste × Song power
- Skill Spell Casting Haste
- 2% at rank 1, +2% per rank (10% at rank 5)
- Spell Casting Haste
- Skill Spell Casting Haste × Song power
Example ,rank 5,100 Charisma
11% Haste, 11% Spell Casting Haste
Song power: 100% + 10% × 1 = 110%
Skill Haste: 2% + 2% × (5 − 1) = 10%
Haste: 10% × 110% = 11%
Skill Spell Casting Haste: 2% + 2% × (5 − 1) = 10%
Spell Casting Haste: 10% × 110% = 11%
Songs scale with Charisma, not Wisdom or Intelligence.
