Thanks for the tips! Having fun playing the bard right now. What is the skill Solon's Song? Was it renamed or am I just blind?

I find low levels fun. A bard, like any good pop artist, just needs to know a few chords to bust out some major hits.

As soon as you hit 7, you get Song of the Siren which lets you charm a frontman to your band and start putting on concerts.

Charm a mob and then pull four more. The charmed mob will take the beating as your Chords of Dissonance melts the crowd's faces.

Once mobs start falling, hustle those tickets to keep those seats full. If you find your frontman burning out from the rockstar life, kick him to the curb like Scott Stapp and find another.

Like TadaceAce said, your mana is your biggest limiting factor. Collect as much mana per kill and mana per tick as you can find for unending guitar solos.

Didn't know if I should post this question as a new thread, so I'll just ask here. New Bard/Nevergrind player reporting in.
How does Accelerando work? Do I apply that first, and then the other songs or the other way around? I tried looking around but couldn't find anywhere where that was clarified.

hit Accelerando then the other songs, if you mouse over the other songs after you hit Accelerando you should also notice that they show a longer duration. Good Luck with your Bard there fun!

Thank you! When I mouse over the buffs, I don't see any sort of duration timer, so I couldn't check myself. Is that supposed to show up? I've tried looking in the options for such a thing but doesn't seem to exist there. Is there supposed to be a duration there?

Sorry I meant on your hotkey bar instead of the buffs under your health. Posted 2 pics for reference.

you can see that the verses changed so instead of lasting 18 seconds it will last 27 seconds or 3 extra verses.

Hope that helps sorry if I confused you.

actually looking at Accelerando think its supposed to extend for 6 verses instead of 3 may need to double check on that :s.

Oh, okay, that makes a lot more sense then! I almost thought I was missing something obvious.
Buff timers would be pretty nice to add though.

Edit: And yeah, it seems that they only extend for three verses instead of six, for some odd reason.
