Sadly mincers rn´t that much of a perfect class but far from it.

Unbuffed mincers r weak, very weak. I don´t like to hear ppl whine about mincers overpowerness coz they r not, they r a balanced class with good amount of CC and a good RA, that´s all, far from being uber hehe

I think he´s an aggro yellow con to lvl 50 but ranged from lvl 55 to 60 depending on his mood and Gromit´s conc mob =]

The overall view

Noche, I disagree with you about minstrels, but I will try and be careful with my terminology since I have seen that cultural differences impact discussion in subtle ways (we live in the USA).

I think minstrels are "unbalanced" (and skalds too, for that matter), because they are incomplete in several respects...they are missing some things that they should logically have. In the case of the minstrel however (and unlike the skald), this lack is overcompensated for in other areas.

I would have to argue that given the current state of game mechanics, the combination of CC and stealth is also "overpowered". That is, it allows a character to defeat "stronger" classes (melee skills) with little or no risk, and even multiple characters of equivalent level with the same (almost no) risk. This was the logic behind some of the archer nerfs, remember.

The recent armor table changes (big boost for albs, hard hit for hibs) only exacerbated the problem.

All that being said, I think Mythic did a fairly sloppy job on their class design for this game, and in their morbid fear of being criticized for "cookie-cutter" classes (perhaps), they have instead cursed us with this morass of hodge-podge classes. You want a good example of a mess, look at the healer class in midguard :b

Also, Mythic has stated that all of it's game mechanics ASSUME a certain level of buffs, so your issue there is not valid.

What I worry about is minstrels being too good as a solo RvR-class. There are too few speed-class chars around in RvR, and to have a good number of our high-speed class char soloing puts everybody else in Alb at a big disadvantage.

Perhaps, wrt to buffbots, a max range (say 3000) should be put on non-timed buffs. The number of clerics hanging around the Emain APK is getting a little ridiculous (and surely people who chose to solo should pay the price of not getting buffs which they would get from a group?).

Hehe, that was quite obvious from the uber stats and the playing screen showing no buffs.

Glen trust me, unbuffed mincers hit like sissys

Armor change is quite interesting, they made all hib armor being neutral to thrust, all alb armor neutral to slash and all mid armor neutral to crush (hope I´m right ^^)

That armor change helped me, not to scale wearers I know, but really, having 26% slash resist 26% body resist unbuffed mincers can´t do big things to ya

CC on stealth char is strong we all know it, but they got drawbacks like non-assasin stealth nerfed (I´m pretty sure when we lose IP in 1.56 most of the assasins will buy SH), low hp table, rogue dmg table (unbuffed their DD is the only thing one should fear) and they went oom and ooe fast after 6 DDs and a stun (can any mincer confirm that?)

After having lvl 50 and with some good resistance stuff an unbuffed mincer is just ok, though buffed it makes em one of the best (IMHO THE best) solo class in game.

 

[saltymcpepper]

kinda seem weird now, i always imagined him to be some kind of demi god

oh yeah one thing i was wondering m8, how come you came back from SWG is it crap or wot?

 

[Aussie-]

Hope u meant ns, coz spending points in a RA which u use once every day is not a worth bussines, specially if u consider that a hunter/scout/ranger with FA/IP will be much more hard to kill after 1.56 (at least if u dont kill em before CD stun wears off).

 

[old.BJ|Bored]

192 char can do 6dds 2 stuns for me

but bare in mind i get pow regen back while im waiting to shout again.

+their all on the body resist table, so fear them ? hardly.


'u hit for 60(-189)'
resists your shout

uber power there fear me ;/

He just plays better than you, get over it.
Regards, Glottis

He don't play better than anyone, in fact he is useless at RvR without his 7 to 8 buffs from his buff bot.


Alpha ditch the buff bot and fight like a man.
