QC > Instant

[Qte Eth]

so ablative chant& spec af buff doesnt count as sorc denfece fader?
and stop talking bs, minstrel wo sos >>>skald ,with sos >>>>>>skald

skald damage>minstrel? well mayb a bit but only thing skald offers to grp is damage and speed while minstrel offers speed damage and 10x more things

 

[old.SadonTheGrey]

and snare? an emergency insta mez? dmg add chant? magic resist chant?

 

[Qte Eth]

magic resist chant dont stack with usual resists so its useless, insta mes not counted coz mini got insta stun which is more useful,but well call em equal and uber snare yeah! thats it..

 

[Edlina]

That's 4 nice instant interrupts though (2 of them dmging 2 of them CC), and minstrel stun is pretty short to say the least skald mezz at least lasts more than 2 sec.

And a skald assisting MA isn't *that* crap dmg which minstrel is.

However, minstrel still > skalds, but not very much in a fg melee team.

 

[Qte Eth]

heard of mes immune? after healer messed ppl skald mes is very close to useless while mini stun is a great spell against anything wo det
well i agree that 2h skald frontloads more but game deals with DPS this days coz oneshots quite rare

 

[faderullan]

Ok Qteeth, you know about minstrel better then me.

 

[Cstasy]

Yeye Minstrel with uber insta-stun >>> Troll Skald with 35 quick doing 800 damage on Ragnarok.

Btw with capped body resist and det 3, the stun lasts about 3 seconds.

But sure u know better about skalds then QTE

 

[faderullan]

A skald beat my merc in duel. He only dd'd and melee'd. No minstrel are even close of accomplishing that. I know you shouldnt judge just about a duel. But 2h troll skalds really seem better.

I wtfpwned a solo skald last week using MoC. They so gimped \o/

If you check the dmg you'll see that I "only" get hit for ~1k during those 2secs, what the SS doesnt show is that I died the second after I got the mezz off due to 1 resist.
a Instant would've saved me 1k hitpoints ( and thats alot for a caster ).
Sure your Skald would've died fast, but skald arent primary Mezzer, so would a healer go down as fast ?

Oh and I died due to being instant mezzed and the cleric were still mezzed.

but

QC >>>>>>> Instant.

Heard of stun immune? a paladin slamming > 3sec (after resists) lasting stun, it can still interrupt though, just like skald mezz can. And in tank grps it's all about frontloading, a troll skald probably don't even have to hit twice before the MA's target goes down, so a nice frontload dmg is good as skald, and skald dps over time also > minstrel dps over time (using weapon only here) and skald can spec a lot higher in weapon (minstrel could neglect stealth, but really that's no fun since they get climb walls )

Cure mess on mincer and Damage Buffer Shout not nice at all.
Cure mess on skald instead of SM Danke.
Class with IP SOS Cure mess can do alot more then just damage and is not like mincer is first target.
If is all about damage i wonder why we run with 3 healers and not 2 and a savage more ?

Guys, just face it, a minstrel is just way better and way more fun and fluff then a skald.
I hope the ra and so review will help the skalds out here.

Because your 3 savages do the dmg 6 Hib/Alb dmg-dealers do and 3 healers is because you got 3 spec-lines on a healer which are worth speccing.

Skald is better in the avg. /assist group where it is mostly about frontload-damage.

 

[zapzap]

Well I seldom run with 3 savages and specing aug is not worth specing, U are forced to spec it or 1 from each group is.
3 savages can be nice but no PF and no slam or no speed 6 and damage add then.
No warrior is not an option
