Bardic scream

With their superior vocal training, Bards are able to focus their voices to do some extraordinary tasks. Bardic Screams are taught by the Guild and provide a variety of tools to aid the Bard in whatever situation they may come across.

Screams are currently in the process of being rewritten and will be much more use-friendly after the rewrite.

Scream Concussive

• 20th circle requirement.
• Basic damage-dealing attack that scales similarly to throwing blades. Due to a bug it taught light blunt instead of vocals for a short period of time.
• 10 second re-use timer.

Scream Defiance

Scream Defiance was rewritten and released on 1/10/2008, and is a short duration defense/utility buff that will do the following:

• Attempts to remove a stun, each pulse, which is random based on charisma (high enough charisma can virtually negate the chance to fail)
• Helps the Bard maintain a minimum of solid balance if not completely prone in combat.
• Reduces incoming damage by both a percentage and a flat amount (can reduce incoming damage to 0), based on the bard's mojo.

The duration of the ability is based on vocal lore skill.

Notable changes from the original version of the ability:

• You can now scream while immobile
• You will no longer go hoarse from use but you will lose mojo (thus effectiveness)
• Scream Defiance no longer generates a justice check for disturbing the peace

Miscellaneous Info:

• Taught at 32nd circle by any Guild Leader
• Requires and uses Bardic Mojo
• Note: killing other players will hurt your mojo!

Scream Havoc

• 40th circle requirement
• Wave of sound that can unbalance the target or knock them back.
• Chance of knockdown as well if the target loses too much balance.
• 15 second re-use timer
