Once players have chosen a mastery, the abilities are freely usable at any time and only have as requirements the skill and mana costs.

  • Party/pets must remain within range of the Bard to remain under the
    spellsong effects.
  • Bards may be interrupted when they receive damage while using their
    abilities, causing the effect to end. Chance to interrupt is based on damage amount.
  • A bard may only have one ability in effect at a time.
  • Abilities do not stack with themselves.
  • All abilities require upkeep, this increases based on how many party
    members/pets are under the
    effect.
  • Bards with secondary bard skills above GM (Real Skill) will receive a slightly reduced mana cost for spell song upkeep.
  • Bards can have both their mastery spell songs active at the same time.
  • Abilities will not check for Criminal flagging, so beware of your
    Party members.
  • The spellsong will reveal the bard if he is hidden.
  • re-casting the spellsong will cancel the effect with no mana
    cost.
  • Although all six spellsongs appear in the book, you may only cast the ones pertaining to the ability you have active,eg if you have ‘despair’ active you may cast only ‘tribulation’ and ‘despair’.
  • Bards with a mastery get a 5% bonus to their success chance at using any bard skills, and a 10% bonus to using the skill of their mastery focus.
  • All bard songs receive a slight bonus to their effects if the bard has additional bard skills over GM(Real Skill)
  • Having a bard mastery reduces all Bard Skill Timeouts by 1 second, and an additional second for the Skill of the mastery focus. (normal timeout is 8 seconds)
  • To switch between masteries use the context menu on your bard spell book.
  • When discord mastery is active the context menu also allows you to select damage type.
