Hmm, Zero Mask, sounds very cool and powerfull. Recomendation to make it even more evil. In the portrait have the eye occationally look around on it's own acord. After all, every evil magical item (I assume it's magical) need to be sentient, maby even smarter than it's wearer...

Also I really want to try this Last Ascent game

[Killah Zillah]

This would make a good Mojo Jojo theme!

aight sick i figured out proper Bard aoe buff/debuffs. There's going to be some interesting support stuff in there.

[Jam Pie]

Damnit.
I hate the right one because it just doesn't fit compared to the other portraits, it's too lightly shaded and rebel has outlines to some degree around all of the portraits

Edit:

Tried making the far left one with the colors I'm gonna use for him in-game

Just noticed that if you scrolled up and down fast enough it looks like the two left images are headbanging.

Bard song effects:
1) + Health regen
2) + Defense
3) Weakens enemies' offense (increased range)
4) Makes teammates more floaty

All of the buff songs also affect yourself. The target has to be inside the area of effect for a small amount of time (~20-25 frames) for the effect to take place. This is so you can't just skim across the aura and gain the full effect. Likewise, enemies have to do the same for the debuff to work, hence the increased range. Change songs with 1-4, and I'll probably implement an individual song cooldown as well as a shorter global cooldown.

Is that also how the Red Mage will work, or will that be more of a Psychopath-style "little bit of everything" unit?

[RebelINS]

Red Mage will have targeted support like the Healer.

[Humble Master]

How does the Bard fight? A complete support class is kind of borring to play unless you have some pretty kick a abilities.

Also Red team's bard should be Jimmy Hendrix 

[RebelINS]

Bard is pure support. You have a weak melee attack with M2, but that's not the point of the class. It'll be boring to play if you find support classes boring. Really though, the class is like a  on steroids. You have an AOE regen heal that is very exploitable.

As a Bard, he should be able to shoot magically concrete and damaging musical notes with his instrument like in every game where instruments are weapons. Or something.

so do the auras last briefly even after they end?

stacking auras is big on similar "state" or "stance" characters in MOBA games, given that they have mana restrictions, and spamming auras to keep all of them active will rapidly leave you useless.

also big is the idea of "activation bonuses," where activating the spell grants an effect (typically offensive in nature), to counterbalance the otherwise team-oriented nature of the class, e.g. damaging and slowing an enemy, damaging multiple nearby enemies, etc.

as good on paper as the idea of a purely supportive class is, the support player still needs to feel like with proper play (kiting, smart terrain use), he can hold his own when things go poorly and his team gets wiped, though obviously, with nowhere near the offensive prowess of an actual fighting class.

not sure how any of that will fit in, assuming the class doesn't have a mana resource or anything of the type (presumably?)

with just the cooldowns/global cooldown, I assume there's no balanced way to stack auras such that the stacking would be useful AND it would be balanced, but I still think the activation bonuses should be at least considered.
