MINSTREL (Healing)

The Minstrel is the Bard's primary healing spec. Minstrel Bards use a unique resource system called "Beats"; a sort of mixture between energy and combo points. A Minstrel Bard has four Beats that continuously fill up one after another (in 4/4 time) and are spent by the Bard's abilities.

While out of combat a Minstrel Bard has 4 available Beats. Upon entering combat, these Beats begin to count continuously. When 4 Beats have accumulated, the next Beat will reduce the count to 1 and the count will begin again.

Mastery - Downbeats: Each target marked with Tempo increases the rate that your Beats refresh by an additional X%, and Tempo has a Y% chance to heal its target each time a Beat refreshes.
