Category:Requiem

Requiems are songs that bestow a light-based Damage Over Time effect upon an enemy. Requiems are useful as a DoT effect because they will continuously overwrite themselves, extending duration further. This is useful when you need to keep a DoT effect on a monster and want to prevent it from gaining HP while unclaimed (potentially due to a party wipe). Requiem used to be notoriously inaccurate on mostly every high level monster, but it was adjusted and now has the same reliability to land as other bard debuffs.

• Every Requiem +1 (past the first, unlike other songs) given through equipment increases song duration by 10% and damage potency by an additional 1 HP per tick.
  • The maximum Requiem bonus available from equipment is +7.
• There appears to be a minimum and maximum duration of Requiem, but at least one tester has been unable to find any real relationship between resist state and debuff duration for it. It may be similar to most Enfeebling Magic in that it doesn't have a constant duration. Regardless, it lasts about 1-2 minutes with no equipment bonuses.
• Potency can be increased up to 20 levels for a maximum of +60 DoT to every tier applied after the percentage bonus from +song. The tables below do not reflect this potential bonus.
• Soul Voice doubles the potency of this type of song.
  • In the case of Foe Requiem VII: This results in a DoT of 88 HP/tick with +7 in Equipment Modifiers and 20/20 Job Points.
• Marcato's effect on this type of song increases potency by 50%.
  • In the case of Foe Requiem VII: This results in a DoT of 81 HP/tick with +7 in Equipment Modifiers and 20/20 Job Points.
• Useless information: Requiem is the only "Tier 7" spell that players are able to cast.
