Description
The Bard is a support class focused around conducting your own personal mini-orchestra of musical orbs. By keeping them in-sync and choosing the right instrument at the right time, you can support your party members, heal your allies, weaken your enemies, and even deal a little damage of your own!
How to fight
Combat as a Bard consists of preselecting a set of 6 instruments with which to enter combat, selecting which 3 (or 4 if you have selected the relevant talent) instruments to use by hitting them with your mallets, having away in time with the beats, and using each instrument's crescendo as appropriate.
The instruments currently available for use and their crescendos are explained below:
Instrument of Harm: An instrument which slowly damages nearby enemies over time. The crescendo of this instrument will send out a bolt of energy which will travel in a (generally) straight line and strike the first enemy dealing damage.
Instrument of Justice: An instrument which periodically pulses with crackling energy, damaging nearby enemies as it moves. The crescendo sends out a powerful blast of 5 bolts which fly forward (zig-z), dealing damage to the first enemy they strike.
