Shattered Kingdoms

Bards have several different song styles. I would like to see some new forms of dancing, aside from the regular, which might also have some beneficial affects for the duration of the dance.

These elaborate dances would consume ME and PE faster than regular dance and song alone, making them less useful for lengthy battles, instead, turning the bard's song into a quick, ruthless dance. Here are some examples below.



Other ideas might allow for the dances to add a damage type to the party's weapons - for example, the Dance of Daggers might add piercing damage to their weapons. A song of fire might add fire damage.

These dances would act just like songs, except for a few minor differences. If you fail the dance, you stumble, causing a trip-like effect upon yourself, cancelling the dance, and the song. You can only perform these dances *if* you are already singing a song.

These dances would also change the bard's emotes while they are in use.

Nice idea, but don't count on it.

Don't buff bards.

I agree with Wizard of winter - bards definitely don't need a buff.

That said, I like the idea of different dances, but *only* if it can be done in some way that doesn't make them even more strong/useful/.

Bards should be able to do the moonwalk.

Fixed it for you.

Bards are suppose to get the ability to use musical instruments, but by all accounts that has been scrubbed. I would like more options for all classes, but . . .
