The Dirge is an ideal profession for those who desire to use songs of
misery and sorrow to inspire intense battle rage in their allies and
despair in their enemies. The Dirge best serves his party behind the
frontlines where he can play mournful songs behind the protection of
his allies. The Dirge’s songs inspire bold feats in allies, boosting their
attributes and skills, and demoralize enemies, diminishing their
strength in battle.
