use phoebus harp imo

+ duration is nice on mincars, also dont have to swap instruments

 

[Sycho]

Yeah i know but izzz wanted to use those so, but if you tweak it a bit can be a very nice sc template, could cap all with a nicer belt(maybe a mp rog one)

Whats the point of Increasing hit cap by 88 if ur not going to use it? Wasted utility else, havent looked thru the items so if its just a side effect from a certain artifact used in the template nvm.

 

[Derric]

Doesnt GoV give +spell range/damage for minstrels?

Read the post, can cap better with better items or a mp rog belt maybe, it can do with tweaking, i made that template within 5mins so it's not bad... give me a day and i cap all easily, yes derric it does i just forgot to add it xE

Good template but you need +11 instruments i thought too?Oo

 

[Tomask]

Instruments seems a bit a of waste to try cram in tbh it only really comes into play when charming mobs , so for instance if i was gonna charm somthing really high i just keep a couple extra items in my inventory and swap them out to get max.

I dont see the need in RvR as the likely hood of you running across somthing stupidly to high for you to charm if your 50 instruments spec is pretty low

[Spathi]

my ideas were firstly that CTR ability isnt much use in full-group RvR or solo, so you can effectively lose that from the template and get something else in there if the resists dont quite fit right- and switch it in on big keep/PvE raids at minimal loss of effectiveness. There were also many reports of ablative and other songs transferring to members of an enemy realm

2ndly, i'd rather use a fire wep than a sun wep as a solo minstrel, and also you will notice that the 2 GoV dot-procs are heat too, so debuffing your weapon, dots, fire shield reactive AND fire-dd armour reactive procs makes you pretty dangerous, more so than energy imo Belt of Sun stats arent hugely wonderful either, but not owning one of those i dont know if you actually have to wear it to use a sun weapon? oO

3rdly, maddening scalars seem to be a large amount of effort for not a lot of return. Yes, the proc is "uber" but it lasts a small amount of time (10s i believe), has a VERY characteristic red-cylinder proc and i've recently been wearing an old pair of gloves as the only ablative proc on my whole armour, and the amount it goes off cant be more than 0.1% of hits on me. I'd rather get some mp gloves and double the utility on them.

well thats my £0.02 anyway, i'll have my template up here soon
