Mechanics

Song Duration

activeDuration = baseDuration × (1 + total learned song duration bonuses)

Active Song Limit

maximumActiveSongs = 2 + learned Polyphony bonus

A Bard can sustain two songs by default. Learning Polyphony raises the limit to three. Starting a song while at the current limit ends the oldest active song.

Charm

songPower = 1 + min(max(CHA, 0) × 0.001, 2)

charmedDamage = min(100%, skillValue(level) × songPower)

levelDifference = targetLevel − BardLevel

baseResistChance = clamp(targetMagicResist × 0.0005 + clamp(levelDifference × 0.005, −0.1, 0.1), 0, 0.9)

resistChance = clamp(baseResistChance + max(levelDifference, 0) × 0.05 − max(CHA, 0) × 0.0002, 0, 0.95)

Only living monsters that are not bosses, elites, training dummies, or returning home can be charmed. A Bard can control one charmed monster at a time.

Cleanse Resistance

A matching cleanse removes this debuff completely in a single cast.

Effective Cast Time = castTime − (castTime × spellHaste)
