A couple questions on bard

[astuce999]

4. Equipping the instrument will not affect the haste/slow portion of the song but the other attributes will be affected. Example:

lvl 57. McVaxius' Rousing Rondo (brass)

1 : Increase Attack Speed by 21% (L57) to 23% (L65)
2 : Increase STR by 20 (L57) to 22 (L65)
3 : Increase ATK by 13 (L57) to 15 (L65)
4 : Increase Damage Shield by 8

Equipping a horn will not change the attack speed component, but will add more STR, ATK and increase the damage shield.

5. Yes and no. Examples

lvl 8 Kelin's Lugubrious Lament (strings)

1 : Frenzy Radius (5/60)
2 : Reaction Radius (10/60)
3 : Pacify

Equipping a lute will not change the 'pacify' aspect of the song, but it will reduce the frenzy and reaction radius even more. (as a side note, it was originally bugged on p99 where equipping the lute would increase the frenzy and reaction radius instead of decreasing it, thx uthgaard for fixing it during kunark beta).

lvl 28 Crission's Pixie Strike (wind)

1 : Mesmerize (2/55)
2 : Decrease Magic Resist by 6 (L28) to 14 (L65)

Equipping a flute will not change the mesmerize aspect of the song, but it will modify how much MR is debuffed, therefore making it easier to reapply mez on subsequent attempts. It is also supposed to affect the push component of the song, but currently on p99 it doesn't.

cheers
