Utility

Signet of Illusions provides valuable CD reductions and a useful passive, but it's not mandatory. Other viable options include:

• Tale of the Honorable Rogue - healing and damage mitigation on low CD, plus some mobility to help with kiting.

• Mantra of Resolve - if more cleansing is needed. Take Restorative Mantras on Inspiration for more healing.

• Mantra of Concentration - extra Stability to help get your heals off. Take Restorative Mantras on Inspiration for more healing.

Usage

Troubadour basics

• Troubadours replace their Shatters with Instruments. Instruments function similarly but linger to provide bonuses to Crescendo.

• F1 is still strike damage focused, F2 is condi and Dazed, F3 is CC as usual, and F4 heals and grants Distortion.

• We're still going to refer to these skills as shatters, for the sake of simplicity.

• These new shatters all have cast times and consume notes instead of clones. You build notes the same way you'd build clones.

General

• Altered Chord causes your Crescendo to have an additional effect.
  • Harmonious Harp is by far the best to use before Crescendo, giving you a lot of extra healing on use. This is your main priority.
  • Deafening Drum is still ok for the CC, which can be used to peel for allies.
