== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Mechanics ==
=== Songs ===
Bards using a lute can play a song for constant effects like healing or damage. When moving, the song is interrupted so it is a good idea to pull groups of enemies or have a high range attack to pull. Switching to a different song will interrupt the current song.
=== Weapons ===
Lute instruments are all MainHand, while everything else is OffHand. Even though only the Lutes are tagged as Wooden, [[Druid]]s may use all instruments.'''
