Description[ | ]
The word "bard" ordinarily puts folk in mind of those itinerant minstrels, fair of voice and nimble of finger, who earn their coin performing in taverns and the halls of great lords. Few know, however, that bards in fact trace their origins back to the bowmen of eld, who sang in the heat of battle to fortify the spirits of their companions.
In time, their impassioned songs came to hold sway over the hearts of men, inspiring their comrades to great feats and granting peace unto those who lay upon the precipice of death.

Song Gauge[ | ]
Singing Mage's Ballad will display the action's corresponding Song Gauge, indicating the effect's time remaining.
If the Repertoire effect is triggered while Mage's Ballad is being sung, the recast times for Bloodletter and Rain of Death (learned at level 45) are reset.
Singing Army's Paeon will display the action's corresponding Song Gauge, indicating the effect's time remaining.
If the Repertoire effect is triggered while Army's Paeon is being sung, the bard is granted increased attack speed and damage.
Singing the Wanderer's Minuet will display the action's corresponding Song Gauge, indicating the effect's time remaining.
If the Repertoire effect is triggered while the Wanderer's Minuet is being sung, the action Pitch Perfect will become available.
Repertoire is accumulated when the damage over time effect for Venomous Bite (Caustic Bite) or Windbite (Stormbite) deals critical damage. When active, the status grants additional effects to songs such as increased damage dealt.
