Relics

• Relic of the Flock - useful if you don't need the movement speed due to external Swiftness.

Usage

Elite specialization basics

• Troubadours replace their Shatters with Instruments. Instruments function similarly but linger to provide bonuses to Crescendo. F1 is strike damage, F2 is confusion and Dazed, F3 is crowd control as well, and F4 heals and grants Distortion thanks to Love Song.

• Altered Chord causes your Crescendo to have an additional effect. Ranking on which skill is best to use before using this is as followed:
  • Harmonious Harp heals allies for a noticeable amount.
  • Deafening Drum dazes nearby enemies for 3 seconds.
  • Reverberating Lute grants an increased strike damage modifier.
  • Flustering Flute inflicts Confusion on enemies struck.

General

• Rifle provides healing from range, but your Instruments, Mantras, and Tales are still melee range.
