Bards and Focus Effects

[Darkrhapsody]

Do bard songs benefit from focus effects at all? If so, which ones? Thanks

pretty sure bard songs are only affected by instrument mods.

Ill let a bard weigh in though.

This is true.

Songs are only affected by instrument modifiers. Focus effects can affect clickies and procs that bards use.

As Felyn said, they do not affect your songs, but can affect procs. Damage increment is a really nice focus effect for bards, as they become proc machines later in the game.

DI doesnt affect the mana-consuming DD's ? (as well as mana cons and casting speed)

Correct, no focus effects affect any bard songs...no matter if they have a mana cost attached or not.
