Patch Notes: 2.5.0 - BARD REVAMP

Bards have been revamped! This is a major overhaul of the bard class, focusing on making bards more engaging,
powerful, and fun to play. The goal is to create a bard experience with strong multiclass potential with solo survivability.

Highlights:

• Your songs are NEVER interrupted (unless you die, get stunned, or your lute explodes).
• Momentum mechanic: Songs build power as you perform. Spend momentum for powerful finales. 'Help Finale'
• Revamped songs, same book. Most got upgrades. Some crumbled into dust.
• Songs with strong synergy with your other classes: shadowdance, blade dance, vox arcana.
• Instruments are flavor — use any for any song. Tune them for bonuses.
• Field repair instruments, armor, weapons with 'clean'.

• Songs are now supernatural. They can’t be dispelled.
  -️ Buy your songs at shopkeeper Vermilion, see 'Help Tarsonis'.

• No more gated skill learning. Empathy & Charisma matter now.

• Encore skill lets you keep your momentum up.

How to Play:

information. See 'help perform' to get started.
