Denons's Desprate Dirge

[Dillian]

Hello this song Denons's Desperate Dirge currently only damages 4 targets for 800 mana and it is supposed to damage all within a AE radius of 20. It also has a range of 150. The range is right but the amount of targets it can damage is wrong. I have included some links to lucy and ala on the spell.

Analysis by Rokenn Swiftsong, Karana server

Comments: This is the one of two mana using song, it requires 800 mana. Currently Bard mana is Intelligence based. This song does damage to each monster within its radius to a max of 4 mobs. One use of this song is engineered to drain most, if not all of a Bard's mana.

Strategies:

This song will damage the bard singing the song, but since the effect is centered on the target you can avoid this.
[Ididar] This song also has a knock-back effect, which will interrupt spell casters.
Cautions:

Mana regeneration spells, songs, or items have no effect on a Bard's mana regeneration rate. The only way to speed regeneration is to sit down.
Being a targeted AE this song will damage the users as well as the target.
With an Int of 90 at 43rd level this song drains 4 bubbles of mana.
