Transcendent / ep11.2
Overview
Bard is the male second-job branch of the Archer class — an inspired wandering minstrel who turns the battlefield into a stage. On a classic 1x/1x/1x pre-renewal server he is an indispensable party buffer: his songs (both solo and Ensemble) bolster allies within their area of effect, raising DEF, removing fixed cast times, or regenerating HP. The Bard's full potential is unlocked in a duo with a Dancer, performing joint Ensemble songs that grant unique bonuses unavailable by any other means. In WoE and demanding PvM dungeons, a well-positioned Bard's songs can single-handedly decide the outcome of a fight.
