Minstrel Specs

[alarik]

Is stealth worth it in 1.52...?

i was thinking:

45 instruments

48 slash

1 stealth

i dunno.. please post your suggestions

autotrain to get style to 50 ;p

and its what lots of usa minst have respec'd to and what ill respec to if im still here when respec comes.

but twisting to keep a pet is so dull tbh i cant be arsed to do it so am staying as a grp minst.

cept im going thrust just for a laff to try get the 50 thrust stun as we evade so often ...

 

[old.BJ|Bored]

or adivce from dherkova, a average/ok minstrel player i suppose,

[23:51:46] <[BF]Dherkova> u should directly say: reroll a infil mateu ;E

re-roll to a skald if u still want speed and good soloing ability

its sad that minstrels are reduced to gimped skalds now, soloing is still possible using stealth or speed, but u never know when a assasin will suddenly hit you if ur stealthed, or a skald snares u when u use speed.

I don't wanna totally gimp my stealth - lvl 1
so im going 44 thrust (tranquilize -> wyvernfang)
44 inst (last dd)
21 stealth

high inst is tempting to charm orange//red pets, but not very fun spamming charm and letting a pet kill ur enemy

For rvr if you really want to play a minstrel I recommend 50thrust 43instr, yes you lose the last dd but the resists are insane anyway, hitting for 110(-60) dmg etc.
For pvp stealth is still useful as fewer assassins will have see hidden, I suggest 44instr 39thrust 29stealth.

Also, don't forget to spec fully in 'second account and buffbot' for pure RvR ownage of any class.

rofl
(sorry its late i cant think of anything else to say)

 

[old.LandShark]

Can't mention stealthers without having SOMEONE whinge about buffbots, can we now...

Purefun: wtf is your charisma at? 120?

 

[Purefun]

148char, 200dex Still prefer to use that end for styles instead of dds in fights.

 

[Cowled]

Saracen, lvl 50 minstrel with dragon-fang, and dodger-spec.

0 stealth ofc..

Im respeccing my scout to 25 stealth, and more thrust.

 

[old.Odysseus]

respeccing to less stealth, all slash, maybe a bit less bow ...

im gunna get me some payback on all the lame cheaters (aka assassins with see hidden) that has ganked me over the last few weeks.

so from 1.52 and on: all your assassins are belong to me (especially your rp's)

200 dex?
my briton thruster has 168 dex capped, and i put 10 in at the start. You must be a saracen with points in dex at the start, and of course aug dex 20 more for being saracen, 10 more from aug dex and start points, that works

high charisma does improve dd dmg quite alot, about 1 dmg per charisma point i think i worked out, most minstrel has 190 charisma capped, more with aug acuity.

On yellow con's without body resist i do about 190 and 240 dmg. Hate ppl with 50% body resist (damn those uber buffs).

Err I have 174 dex capped with 60 (+10) starting stats...
Cha ranges from 174 to 190 depending on items. Worst DD damage... 118 (-129).
BTW Tranq is crap for RvR, especially once block/parry get fixed. No to-hit bonus style = a lot of misses.
