That's not how phantom chorus works.
You get Hymn of life, a HP/MP/SP healing buff circle, or uh...something for mob debuffs depending on what bard song you play.
Found it.
Buff : Enduring Melody, Harvest Song, March Song
Debuff : Battle Field Overture, Vivace, Lullaby.
While on the circles you can still take other buffs.
(Cast time at 0 int)/[(1 + INT/5000)(1+(Wand Speed Boost))(1+(Vivace Boost))(1+(Magic Weapon Mastery Boost))(1+(Reforge Boost))]

[6:00:33 PM] Roy: Kenero with Phantom Chorus can you both get Vivace and Battlefield Orchestra buffs?
[6:00:46 PM] Atsuko (Kenero): should be able to
They've tested it mind you. You haven't. I'd say Kenero is right here.
And I talked to a KR live player. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXbfQ7nDrIY&lc=Fr6hc7jpfvjkBqWYBrWMufyqbIKj1Ea123gE9TqCfJ0 Check the comments and watch the vid.
Ontop of that, there's been no vids of anyone using the skill to stack the regular buffs.

Okay, while we're on this topic.. I will clear up how Phantasmial Chorus works. I feel like we didn't explain it very well.
First off.
When using the skill, a green timer underneath will appear and become smaller, this is the timer frame for you to select which "buff" you want and when you do, depending on the buff you chose, the circle's color that appears you will change.
Now let me explain, when you use Phantasmial Chorus, not only do you get the regular battlefield buff and whatnot, BUT at the same time, you can get a "secondary" buff known as Hymn of Life and the other is whatever I forgot.
Anyways what these secondary effects is chosen on what they do:
Buff (Hymn of Life) : Enduring Melody, Harvest Song, March Song
Debuff (Forgot its name) : Battle Field Overture, Vivace, Lullaby.
When for example, when you use Enduring Melody, the circle you use will give ANYONE who steps into it both Enduring Melody AND Hymn of Life.
Likewise, when someone uses Battlefield overture, the circle underneath takes on the debuff (forgot its name) and ANY enemy that steps into the circle will get that debuff.
Now, when you OVERLAP circles, you can overlap the main effects... such as battlefield overture + enduring melody and each circle WILL have its effects, such as Hymn of life and the other one... so if an enemy steps into your circle, they get debuff while an ally or yourself who steps into the circle will get a buff.
However, what happens if you have two hymns of life circle? First off, if you have two hymns of life circle overlapping, you won't get enduring melody + enduring melody stack, the highest bonus will apply BUT if you do March + Enduring, both will apply together. Now, what happens if an ally steps into the circle... will the ally get stacks hymn of life? No, the stronger one will overwrite the weaker one.
Now, if you leave the circle and go to a new circle not connected, you'll get the new circle's buff as well as the timer renewed.

So there is no stacking EM/BO buffs right? Nor vivace/BO... Hmm.. I'm still a bit confused either way
Ah okay , I wasn't expecting to stack the same buffs..that's ridiculous. So how do you stack two different buffs? Do you need multiple bards ? (One for first buff, another for 2nd in the other circle?)
In that post it mentions being able to stack two of the hymn (em/ms) but nothing else that I saw..I should probably stop reading about this stuff in mobile lol.
Two hymns won't stack. One hymn + the debuff will stack.
2 battlefields won't stack. One Battlefield + 1 Enduring melody will.
