Ballad

Ballads are one of the Minstrel's basic skills. Starting from level 1, they have two Ballad skills and a third is added at level 6:

•  Minor Ballad
• Major Ballad (changes depending on the current stance)
•  Perfect Ballad

On each use of these skills, a different Ballad buff is applied to the Minstrel. Up to three can be active at all time and if a new buff would be applied to the Minstrel, the oldest one will wear off. If any three buffs are active, the Anthem and Coda skills can be used.

The skills Cry of the Chorus and Improved Cry of the Chorus apply three equal Ballad buffs, which depend on the stance in which it is used.
