First Attempt at a Minstrel Template

[Phelon]

Ok go easy on me, can I ask if you all cast a critical eye over the following template and see if I have missed anything or if there are any glaring mistakes. I have speant the last 2 years "borrowing" other peoples templates but I thought it time to do my own.

I know I have not taken into account swapping instruments

I have most of this except the dagger and ceremonial bracer. and I have not done the Sc'ed stuff yet so it can move a little.

I also have croc ring, but to be honest I forgot about it when I did the template

I dont want the hassle of SOM so please stay away from that, and I would like to use what I have but if there are any soloutions that require easily got items I am happy to look at that.

Any comments are appreciated, but please be gentle im getting on a bit now

Thanks in advance for any help

You're not using the full imbue value (33.5/28) on most armorparts, have a look at that.
You really need +11 slash, better to cut down on +inst if you can't solve it anyway else.
Croc ring is also a very funky ring to have, think you should try fit that in.

*edit* I think you gotta put down some work in getting items that's harder to get, if you want to be able to compete.

 

[Matriarch|Sneakers]

Sorry to say but its worthless ...

A minstrel wants high ( max af )
max str - with a few points overcaps is very nice (26 would be the goal but iam not sure its possible )
+400 hits is somthing to try get (350+ is okej )
+11 weapon and +11 stealth, +11 in ins is together with dex the last stat to cap/increase
Max all resists are important since alot of ppl (stealthers ) will use heat/cold/spirit/matter LW's
max + melee spd and melee dmg +style is important but try max the two other b4 u try the 3rd.

Ofc u should get, 75 charm, con ( not 100% sure how many hits a minstrel get / con really but its not that mutch, so overcapping con instead of hits isnt to recommend, if u can do both well... )

QU is also very important since u really want to use slow weapons battler for 4.1 spd and 10% ws boost when it procs ( happends a few times / day ) or SSA for the 4.4 spd and more dmg / hit then the battler really.

I know i wrote this kinda fussy and maybe a little bit confusing but i think if u take the time to re-read it u will get my point(s)

 

[Phelon]

Cheers people,

Sorry to say but its worthless ...

Dont be sorry, if its crap I wanna know, just glanced at your comments at work. Ill digest them tonight and work a little harder on it.

*edit* I think you gotta put down some work in getting items that's harder to get, if you want to be able to compete.

I wish I had the time, im not looking to be the best player ever, ask any of the guild they will tell you all amount of items would struggle to make me able to compete

 

[Derric]

Here's one, not anything that makes you go all "oooh, aah!", but it's cheap and most stuff are easy to get (GoV and SoM can be a bitch tho).

Here's a 99% minstrel template I'm working on. The hardest items to find are SoM/GoV, the rest are relatively easy.
Probably not good for solo(cough) minstrels, as it doesn't have stealthlore. It does have a mezz-block effect on the gem, which I'm using instead of Ceremonial Bracer.

Cut down some of the resists and use the imbue points elsewhere,

Tears has 11 stealth/slash/instrumens : 400 hits : and cap'd str / con / cha - resists vary from 10% to 15% (with the exception of heat for dragon raids) id much rather have the 400 hits than 10% resist in whatever there hitting me.

 

[Jenkz]

200 extra hp is like 1 hit from most stealth classes, isnt going to make that much difference really.

You can cut down on some resists, for sure, notably matter, and spirit to some degree, but I would try to keep the important resists (melee, heat, cold, energy, body) maxed out if you intend on seriously playing the character in RvR. The vast majority of other people you will meet will have them capped, if you dont, you are at a disadvantage.
