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 Magic Resist reduction: 10 at rank 1, +10 per rank (80 at rank 8)
Magic Resist reduction: Skill Magic Resist reduction × Song power,
Skill Poison Resist reduction: 10 at rank 1, +10 per rank (80 at rank 8)
Poison Resist reduction: Skill Poison Resist reduction × Song power,
Skill Fire Resist reduction: 10 at rank 1, +10 per rank (80 at rank 8)
Fire Resist reduction: Skill Fire Resist reduction × Song power,
Skill Cold Resist reduction: 10 at rank 1, +10 per rank (80 at rank 8)
Cold Resist reduction: Skill Cold Resist reduction × Song power,
Skill Disease Resist reduction: 10 at rank 1, +10 per rank (80 at rank 8)
Disease Resist reduction: Skill Disease Resist reduction × Song power,

Example ,rank 8,100 Charisma

88 Magic Resist reduction, 88 Poison Resist reduction, 88 Fire Resist reduction, 88 Cold Resist reduction, 88 Disease Resist reduction

Song power: 100% + 10% × 1 = 110%

Skill Magic Resist reduction: 10 + 10 × (8 − 1) = 80

Magic Resist reduction: 80 × 110% = 88,

Skill Poison Resist reduction: 10 + 10 × (8 − 1) = 80

Poison Resist reduction: 80 × 110% = 88,

Skill Fire Resist reduction: 10 + 10 × (8 − 1) = 80

Fire Resist reduction: 80 × 110% = 88,

Skill Cold Resist reduction: 10 + 10 × (8 − 1) = 80

Cold Resist reduction: 80 × 110% = 88,

Skill Disease Resist reduction: 10 + 10 × (8 − 1) = 80

Disease Resist reduction: 80 × 110% = 88,

Rounded means to the nearest whole number. Exact halves go to the even number, so 2.5 becomes 2.

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.

Monsters whose pages list Immune to Debuffs are still affected, except bosses.

Resist Chance Reduction

Subtracts 30% from the target's chance to resist this skill.
