My template is a modified version of Eggy's. In the template you can use Thunder skin (ML9) as the drum as it has all of the same stats as the instrument except 0 matter resist is on the drum. The AF is also very high, combined with SoM+GoV+Battler+mad scalar's your defense is very high. In my opinion croc ring is essential for a minstrel. Ring of dances is a bonus and comes with stealth lore which is very handy

[eggy]

2 Stealth

...

 

[Gorbash]

...

group minstrel, only specced 25 stealth for climb walls. i originally thought of including stealth, but i realised i never use the bloody skill cos im either in PvE or in a caster RVR group, so its pretty useless apart from climbing walls. also, i got an infil if i wanna play a steather

also, the other template doesnt have +instruments which i need for pet charming (rah for lvl 58 salamanders) cos i do a lot of PvE with my mincer too.

Finally, i have phoebus harp necky (which isnt equipped, cos you only need to use the /use2 charge once per char login), so i use the harp pretty much all the time, which means i can have my traitors dagger in me other weapon slot for shapeshift.

 

[Mordyn]

Harpy Feather Charm is a Jewel not a necky

Your not meant to do PvE in your ToA set. You should have a totally different set for PvE tbh.
