Charismatic Performance perk explained:
It's vital to this build to know that, Charismatic Performance, allows you only play a few notes then spam the rest and still get the full effect of the spell.
I'm going to only display the amount of times you need to hits the notes then spam →
Ex: 2 = First 2 notes then spam the rest
IN-GAME:
Whenever you are needing to start your buff cycle, I suggest that you do it in this order:
- Rousing - 2 | DRUM | (Buffs all stats)
- Allegro - 2 | DRUM | (Increased interact + casting speed)
- Accelerando - 2 | DRUM | (increased movement speed)
- Beats - 1 | DRUM | (personal movement speed buff)
- Shield - 3 | LYRE | (personal magic shield)
You want to be doing this before every push or every time you can see it coming off it's timer.
After you finish buffing my go-tos for helping with mobs/players are:
- Shriek - 2 (spam first) | FLUTE | (debuff mobs/players)
- Shrill - 3 | FLUTE | (25dmg + echo)
Then you will use the other spells as needed:
- Tranquility - 2 | FLUTE | (Regens temp health)
- Chorale of Clarity - 2 | FLUTE | (Regens spells)
- Song of Silence - 2 | LUTE | (Cancels spells & prevents casting)
Make sure to use your crossbows when you're out of range to squish them up for your team.
