Groupstrel +GoV/MS/SoM/WH/EDS/CTR/CB, 10/9/4, 98 str/101 con, 304 hits, 40 AF

[Manisch Depressiv]

Minstrel template aimed for some grouping and maybe a few solo runs.

LW mainhand, Battler on the back, Upsilon Harp as instrument. No loss of con/hits when switching to harp and back.

Tried to work in some goodies for survival and ended up with GoV, SoM, WH, CTR and MS. CB for stun/mezz feedback.

Any ideas how to improve this a bit? Maybe work in some +instrument for better DD damage?

[Ballard]

In the 'ok/good but not great' category for me.

- LW is a very poor weapon choice for group play (and only passable at best for solo). With that SC'ing there is very little option for weapon swapping.

- I have seen very similar templates but with 400ish hits and better resists at a cost of 15-20 con. I would personally prefer that.


p.s. Can you stack allmelee+ and slash+ on the same item? I know when its a 5th slot bonus you can but for normal SC slots I didnt think it was possible. Doesnt reall matter tho +1 slash makes very little difference.

LW is an okay choice for group play, especially when you get it out after someone got killed and rezzed. Most groups out on Dyvet don't recast resists mid fight. I will use a normal crafted weapon with some proc when LW is not viable or maybe just TD to spam some mists.

+All Melee and +Slash together works.
