Baha said it all. Its not the class but the player. I love my mincer and never struggle to find a group. I also enjoy soloing. TBH leave mincers alone and givf armsmen some wubbing.

Except damage. :p

with good equipment and artifacts, a minstrel can dish out like 800 dmg from dds + 7*200 dmg from meleeing, thats like 2.2k dmg (zephyr + stun) :p (and imo doing 200 - 300 dmg with a slow 1h:er aint that shitty dmg, but its all up to what equip you have etc.)

Ofcourse you got 0 chance when a RR11 minstrel with FZ gets the DD,DD,mezz jump on you . If an archer comes in the same situation you can expect to get owned too except you will never ever reach him in melee since you're dead before that .

Still a lot less damage in the time than many other classes.

A well played mins in a grp should not be overlooked. Might do alot less damage than others classes but has decent hps and with ap/ip/phase shift can take a fair amount of damage and stay up bringing with them

4 insta shouts on short timers + wep = fiar amount of interupts including a stun (which even on a det tank can give your caster/support enough time to get away to assist nuke or cc themselves - mainly when no slam tank in grp)

purge/sos - sort of a alb gp and can well turn a battle for a caster group

backup demezz

backup mezz

FZ - taking a caster out for 10 secs or very usefull to get a pesky tank of a caster/support

speed - some think this not so important anymore, but without speed 5 you find you get jumped alot more from behind before you can see them, whereas at relatively same speed as they will be inc gives you alot more chance to see them and be ready. Also more speed - more ground covered = more chance of more fights

+ with wep and dd's can do decent damage actually to help assist when finishing a fight of or all enemy support/casters locked down. Still with all of the above available if necessary.

how many other alb classes can bring this utility combined with decent survivability.

ofc this is based on a well played mins same as any class

Just a quick question but is Cant of Perplexity any use in RvR? I've not tried it yet and as my mincer is only ML2 i don't have any useful abilities as yet.

Maybe on someone with zero resists, but not on most people. And the lower DD gets resisted too often to make 800 regularly even on someone zephyred and stunned.

Same goes for the melee damage - 200-300*7 per swing is assuming EVERYTHING hits, which at 30+whatever slash doesn't happen often (and of course I'm assuming you're quoting 200-300 for someone who's slash-weak, as against a slash-resistant armour type you won't get that).

No, not at all, I think minstrels are balanced on the damage front.
How is my stating a fact (which was intended to rebut the "they have everything" thing) taken to be "omg m8s minstrel r sux, gifv more dmg!!11"? Try reading what is said rather than putting your own spin on things.

Then it's a spec problem, not a class problem.

Well of course, you could spec 50instr/43 slash instead... and lose wall climbing and stealth, which reduces you to "open field" RvR only, reducing your utility significantly.

lets just for sake of argument say he does 1500dmg on that period of time, your still at a pretty big advantage no?
