Bard mana regen songs

[Tenloar]

Hello fellow bards!

I have a questions in regards to bard mana song stacking.

Does the new level 20 mana song stack with the level 32 mana song? They both are classified as instant but the level 20 mana song is actually in ticks. So I'm assuming they stack but cannot verify.

And as far as the level 34 Cantana of Soothing,
Does that one stack with either the level 20 or 32 mana song?

I'm just curious as how they would all work.

Thanks for your time!

The 20 and 32 songs are 'pulses' of mana. They do not have buffs and are best used if spammed.

The 34/55 mana song has a buff and stacks with the 32 mana song. Since level 20 doesn't have a buff, it's pointless to cast level 20 over level 32.

My mana regen goes something like:

Cantana of Soothing
Chorus of Clarity
Chorus of Clarity
Chorus of Clarity
Hit my mouse side buttons (/stopcasting and hotkey for Breath of Harmony)
repeat from start

That way, you get all your mana regen, you get Niv's from BoH which gives STR/minor heal, and Cantana of Soothing's heal also stacks with Niv's.

boh is primary only, most lutes are secondary only

that would be an annoying weave to swap through

Lute doesn't affect mana regen.

Currently the level 20 song doesn't pulse like the 32 song does. It's acts like a song with ticks.

Unless this is an error or bug?

cantana of soothing requires lute to play

do you actually play a bard secrets?

The lower level cantina requires a lute - the higher level doesn't.

The lute only effects the HP regen portion of the song, not the mana regen portion

shrug, secrets specifically said soothing

but even for the 55 one youd need to swap or you lose the hp regen you gain from nivs by not having a instrument bonus

unless you dont care about hp regen, inwhich case dont weave boh

im definitely not arguing that lute helps mana regen, secrets brought that up for some reason, not me

It's been a while since I've played a bard, but he did also say that BoH healing effect stacks with the other song... /shrug
