Third tier
Minstrel/Wanderer
Minstrel and Wanderer are the alternative advancement options for Bard and Dancer. They pick up the support mantle that the Clown and Gypsy abandoned, enhancing the already impressive support abilities of the Bard and Dancer with their own unique twist.
Because managing Rhythm levels wasn't quite enough, Minstrels and Wanderers gain two more effects to juggle: Melodic Mark and Hypnotic Harmony.
Melodic Mark is an offensive ability that, as you might guess, puts a mark on the targeted enemy, in addition to dealing a modest bit of damage. This mark causes all other offensive Minstrel/Wanderer skills to autotarget them, allowing the abilities to exhibit exceptional output against a wide range of foes, if the user is able to manage their marks correctly.
Hypnotic Harmony is the supportive counterpart to Melodic Mark. Casting Hypnotic Harmony on an ally applies its buff both to the ally and the user, slightly increasing their Base Stats for a duration. Once the Harmony is applied, all the supportive Minstrel/Wanderer skills will autotarget that ally, turning the Harmony into a much stronger bonus.
In order to aid in balancing these many marks and statuses, the Minstrel and Wanderer also gain access to two new utility skills. Improvised Interlude allows the user to set their Rhythm Level instantly to any number they wish, while Desperate Dynamic gives them a panic button to immediately apply Melodic Mark and Hypnotic Harmony to all appropriate targets within range.
Minstrel and Wanderer inherit and expand on the complexity of the Bard and Dancer classes, but those that can match their rhythm will dominate the battle with elegance and style.
