Chanters can also use Mantras or Auras which increases the stats of all party members in range. What’s more wonderful is that they can have up to three mantras active at a time, in which the effects are stacked up over the other. Mantras, once casted, will remain active until the player manually cancels it or when he/she dies in battle. Chanters can hold off their own in melee combat, thanks to their melee skills that can debuff, stun or knockdown targets. Chanters can also enjoy the benefit of casting “hot”s (heal-over-time) spells, which can help keeping all the burden of healing entirely and give them the chance to do other stuff, like debuffing enemies through melee combat.

Role as a Chanter

Chanters are more of a party-oriented character, with their main strengths are to boost his/her party member’s stats and keeping the party alive through heals and resurrection spells. The myriad of assorted skills makes Chanters very flexible characters. Though their primary role is to spam heals and keep in range so their allies can benefit from the chanter’s stat-boosting mantras/auras, chanters can also act as secondary tanks and join the frontlines. The chanter’s offensive skills can debuff, stun and even knock down opponents, making them very useful in softening up tough and resilient targets. These varying roles might pose challenges to some players but with in the hands of a good player, having a chanter in the party is invaluable.

Choosing a Race

Being an Elyos or Asmodian chanter doesn’t really bring any advantage nor disadvantage. In fact, its just a matter of personal preference. If you want to be an angelic, pure and elegant chanter, then go ahead with Elyos. If you want a dark, menacing yet attractive chanter, then go with Asmodia. Elyos and Asmodian Chanters share the same strengths, weaknesses and skills. The only differences are the class masters they’ll need to get their skill books from, certain race-specific “special” skills, and the overall locations they’ll need to travel to.
