Notes

• While Bladesong can be activated outside of combat, Bladesong charges can only be generated in combat.
• Some recastable spells like  Move Moonbeam do not count towards generating  Bladesong Damage Charges. However, the list of exclusions is not comprehensive and other free recasts do generate charges such as  Activate Call Lightning.
• The requirement to be wielding a dagger, longsword, etc. applies to both hands as of Patch 8 release.
