50% of the active RvR pop in Albion is playing a Minstrel now, this class is as overpowered now, as it has been the Warlock in the past.

Reduce instant-range and decrease the rr5 radius a lot. And increase rr5 reuse timer.. most classes have 10-15 minutes and such a extremely powerful one is on a 5 minute -timer?

90% of the active rvr pop isn't even capable of playing a minstrel at 80% of the full potential, so i wouldn't bother to much . archery plague is much more annoying imho.

Just take away their stealth ability.

Which is obviously what's making them OP


Barely any of them spec stealth because they don't get access to MoS

I think it's the CC and DD's that are the real problem, combined with fully buffed oj/red pets

The warlock is still overpower, if you see how easy to play a minstrel stop playing with the Midgar zerg and lvling one

minstrel with a ST dont have damage to melee, if you want a magic damage and correct stung.

Minstrels without pets are not a huge issue. Yes, they have instant stuns and 2 dds for interupts and damage, but a solo minstrel is not much of a threat to anyone. They are a core class for most all Albion groups, but that is only because of speed. Relatively few minstrels run solo or do it only rarely. The ones who run with red pets are usually higher RR, so the issue is not so much the pet charm but the fact that they are high RR. If I screamed to nerf every class that beat me in RvR solo, there wouldn't be anybody left in DAoC to play against. The main issue is that higher RR characters of all classes have RAs that are always up and all the toys that have ever been created to use agianst lower RR characters.

pets are a bit over the top when red and fully buffed...otherwise they are fine.

in BG's they are a bit OP with buffed pets, but a lot of classes are.
