The Job of a Musician

You are a Support class, therefore, you are only there to buff the team. In an AoE team, you should stay off to the side, away from aggro but close enough to play songs so that the buffs affect each team member.

In lower level teams, you should just constantly play Chorageous Chorus, Song of Concentration, Mystic Mantra, and Diligent Ditty in that succession. You don't HAVE to play those songs in that order, but that is what typically works well for me.

In higher level teams, once you get the "long" songs, Mars' Song, Echo Guard, etc...(because they take longer to play/cast but last longer, about 5 mins), casting Echo Guard, Mars' Song, and Hymn to the Goddess usually works best for me.

I recommend maxing all the shorter songs and then the longer songs. Mars and Hymn are not that necessary, at least level 1 is fine if you have to put points into something else.

I also recommend having an MP regen skill, such as Inner Magic, Spring Cleaning, or Control Breathing to keep your own MP up while you play songs because Mystic Mantra does not work on yourself. In higher levels you can use Transfusion Tune on yourself but it is better used on other teammates such as the mercenary and doctor. Those two are the most important and the AoE'rs next.

Some common slang terms referring to skills:

Muse: Another term for Musician
Fuse = Transfusion Tune (team members may ask for this so be on the lookout)
Mantra = Mystic Mantra (MP is always needed in an AoE team)
Ditty: Diligent Ditty
Conc.: Song of Concentration
