Broken one way or the other. Might work if you decided to turn it into Bloodlust/Heroism but then you'd have no room for Time Mage, as Hastega would have to be implemented akin to Bloodlust/Heroism to fit in the game.

Let's leave healing to the actual healers, please.

Not needed because (thankfully) accuracy is not a rare stat like it was in FFXI.

This would be horribly clunky.

This would work better as part of a different job with mechanics to support it. Not to mention it would have to follow the model for Apocatastasis to be useful (while also sharing the same debuff).

Mechanically, it could be slightly different than Mudra's.

Think like Sona where you blast out effects & every fourth is essentially "Battle Voiced" or producing a different bonus effect.

Or carrying notes until a song is "completed", each note layering an effect expiring or being bolstered once the song is finished.

Lots of ways to make it not a rip of Mudra's but it's own unique system for piecing together songs.

It's not overly complicated either honestly.

This game is a WoW clone not LoL clone lol

I mean like a real one, with falling notes you have to hit properly and everything! Might give Bard some actual difficulty to it.
