Is that a standard song skill, affecting the entire party, or is it a song that only affects the user. I ask because the wording is different from the other songs, which say "Increases party members crit rate", this skills says "increases your crit rate". However, it's obviously a song as it increasing with addition singing/dancing.
Some clarification would be nice.
Also, regarding their other new skill: Deadly Strike.
Could be just my poor translation skills, but in the Korean client I thought it also added a debuff (-Earth Res), so the landrate on the Symphonies would be higher. Is that correct? Did I translate it wrong? Was it changed for our client?
It seems like Whisper of battle is a 2min self buff (like war cry). It doesn't say on the notes that it increases mp use with additional singing/dancing, as it's a self buff it wouldn't be on the songs/dances bar anyway.
For Deadly Strike, I don't see anything about that skill is related to a debuff. I also read the 14 Dec H5 part 4 notes, it doesn't say anything about it either.
Nevertheless, in part 3 they changed the skill level of Whisper of battle from learnt level 60 to be learnt at 46, 52, and 60, dunno if we get that here. They added Defense Motion in part 3 for bladedancers, but here they specified that it's a song/dance skill hm... weird.
Preliminary Patch Notes from Sace:
New Skills
# Battle Whisper (level 60): Increases your P. Atk./Crit. Power/Atk. Speed. for 2 minutes.
* Sword Singer
Changes in Skill Acquisition Level
Sword Singer
# Battle Whisper: Before (60) Now (46/52/60)
It's what you get when all you do is merge/pile up the H5 Notes of part 1 thru 3 on one pile :)
Deadly Strike is an attack skill of which no info is available yet for what it can be oe'd and no it doesnt have an earth type debuff.. maybe someone from RUOFF will be nice enough to post here what the oe options are
Why would sws have earth - debuff on deadly strike while his toggle skill increases holy damage? o.O
-Earth would increase the effectiveness of the Symphony skills.

Having 3 stages to that buffs makes it seems similar to the buff that Tanks now get at the same levels. Which is also a party buff.

I re-read the whole thing, and I saw it at the bottom now lol. I wouldn't trust anything coming from the RU though; because knowing that WoW is sold to China, and they are free to make any modification to the game as they please.

Combat Aura lasts for 20mins, but Battle of Whisper lasts for 2mins and it is definitely a self-buff. Just don't know whether it will be like the bladedancer's Defense Motion which is clearly stated as a song/dance skill (even it's a self-buff). However, this is NCsoft KR we're talking about; so it's normally illogical at all lol :D
why would you think earth boosts symp skills ? to my knowledge that's not true and never has, are you mixing it up with medusa dance from bd's which has an earth element associated ?

Its is a personal song. Not for the whole party, just yourself. No point to asking this since you already answered yourself on your own post. Denial, maybe?
what the hell are you talking about? earth? the land rate does not have anything to do with the damage. and the landrate depends on the mental attack respective mental defense of the target.
Btw. there is NO debuff skill that is relying to attributes as the attribute system is about damage, not about debuffing (fear, atk speed, atk power, stun, para, def power, poison, bleed, petrify... did i forget something :P)
if the swordsinger had an attribute, that would surely be holy, not earth :P
The new Swordsinger skill: Whisper of battle.

It's a whisper. It's a song that no one but the singer hears.

The land rates of Dance of Medusa (petrify), Decay (Sorc's poison skill) and the DoT from overenchanted spoil depend on the Earth element difference between the caster and the target.
some changes make to worst char ever existed in l2,two new skils and nobody knows how they works.
no any changes to weapon mastery passive skills!why?since long time sws using dagers becouse is faster and more efective in pvp(cancel),weapon mastery are only for sword and attack skills will be only works with sword,so thats good for nothing!!!!
plus extremly low str/dex/con pfffff:P
Sws's have been getting all kinds of love the last few updates. I wish they'd throw some love at BD's too - been a very long time since they've gotten something uber and this go round they actually get a nerf. Makes me sad.

BDs get a self buff also that improves defense, so that is good. Bards in general though have been overlooked by NcSoft.
ncsoft got no any knowlage about l2,didn listening players.if they nerfing sws than better to delate this class give skills to each and forget some think was happen.
anyway my screaming dosnt do nothing nobody from ncsoft will be listening>
UPDATES FOR SWS===>good for nothing

They are nerfing a couple of its skills, and adding a decent self-buff one. So it's more an even wash, though they really do need to revamp the bards.
The new skills I think will be awesome. Would like to know if the attack skill is enchantable or not. As far as sword symphony becoming a single target silence I'm not sure how I feel about that. Kinda like my aoe fear :P. Sux that it wasn't enchantable like an OL's aoe debuffs r tho...
"Deadly Strike (level 40): Attacks the target intensively"
Finally SWS not will be so ret arded as now.
What i mean?
Compare BD and SWS.
BD have sting on 40 lvl, SWS have... no skills to hit mobs. He must use Fenrir to exp solo (i know, he should exp in pt, but RL is not a fairy tales).

If you know a bd that spams sting while xping, stop talking to him its probably contagious
