mana recovery rate of ballad by brd subjob?

[Morax]

(I know some people gonna yell and scream about bard subjob.. I have read it before.. )

Does anyone know the mana recovery rate of ballad when having bard as your subjob? How does this compare to having summoner as your subjob..?

If you are high enough level to test this please try it and post your results..

Thanks

i want to go dragoon/bard. dunno how bad that'll be. i guess i wont do that in the end but it t'was my dream.

Kind of what I am looking for is something to the effect of..

A 50whm/25sum takes ___ seconds to recover ___ mana when standing..

A 50 whm/25brd singing ballad takes ___ seconds to recover ___ mana when standing..

If you can answer either one of these please test it a couple of times and post the results..

Thanks

bard ballad always gives only 1 per pulse... if you're thinking about whm/sum vs whm/brd, whm/sum would win hand down IMO, although I think blm sub would probably be more useful.

[Morax]

how long is it between pulses? 3 seconds? 5 seconds?

thanks

1 pulse per 3 seconds, same as summoner autorefresh, so 40 mp regen over 2 minute period with ballad1.

Cool.. and it will stack with bard's ballad also ?
thus a smn in a group with a bard (that is singing ballad) will gain back 2mana / 3seconds..

Would you happen to know what ballad II rate is? could that stack with ballad thus giving smn + ballad + ballad II refresh rate?

Ballad II is 2 mp/tick, sing both songs for 3mp/tick.

Keep in mind a bard sub can only sing one song at a time, cant use instruments, and songs with power effected by skill are at 1/2 skill as well
