Vamps cannot solo and consistantly win, yes maybe RR10 vamps but everything below will get CC or pet spammed to death.

how do you cc a vamp who is charged?

There is no Charge in Thid

Ok, I'll bite.

when I know I only have about 45m or less to play, I often jump on one of my BG toons, and just let me say, Minstrels are not a problem, lol.

Good minstrels might be on occasion, but most of the time they need a lot of help to kill me. If Im on a melee class, I snare/stun the pet, and attack the minstrel; if he kites, I run the other way, away from pet. However I usually can snare the Minstrel, and it's lights out if he already used his stun.

Minstrels actually suck pretty hard if they try to solo in BG's. It's the minstrel's buddies that make your life suck in the BG. He mez you, then stun you, while you get anally penetrated by the 2-7 buddies he is being a speed bitch for that really sucks. But how is that different than a sorc, healer, bard, or skald doing the same thing? It's the mez/stun, not the minstrel that's the problem.

No, solo minstrels are easy in BG's if they choose to fight. The only solo minstrels that are hard to kill in thid/molvik are the ones that run away.

So the only time you die to Minstrels is you get kited like a mob?

I've rarely lost to a solo minstrel for 4 reasons:

#1: the solo minstrel is very rare in my experience.
#2: stupid minstrels who think their DPS+pet DPS can win a melee fight.
#3: purge
#4: adds

Perhaps you misunderstood what I described above. I don't let minstrels kite me-
I kite minstrels. I run away from minstrel and pet (aka kite), and when they give chase,
I attempt to latch on to minstrel like a pitbull using snare styles.

If it becomes clear I will not get the minstrel (aka, he is good at avoiding melee range),
I kill the pet. A good minstrel will run away at that point. A bad minstrel does something else
and I collect rps.

I will say that the context that I am speaking of should be limited to molvik. I don't really mess
with thid, so apologies for including thid in my previous post.

molvik minstrels are even more OP than thidstrels

I would disagree, relatively speaking. Naturally Minstrels are better at level 39 than 24, but to say Minstrels are more OP vs. all classes in Molvik than Thid, I just don't see it.

Like I said, it's not the DD, or the pet, or the melee prowess of the minstrel *snicker* that is a problem; the problem is
his mez/stun + a friend or two that makes them OP in the battlegrounds. But again, that's no different than any class with mez and/or stun, which can always be a game winner in the right scenario.

LOL @ Morg...You can't be serious... Everyone knows Minst are OP'd yet you try to say its only because others add on Minst fights? NO NO NO

It IS the Minst high dmg pet, it IS the minst high Melee dmg, and it most certainly IS the uninterrutable freakin mez and insta freakin stun that makes them so.

But thats ok, just hop back on your Minst and enjoy the extreme easymode for alittle while longer...pretty soon things will be made right..

Seriously, as long as you keep saying Minstrels have high melee damage, no one will take you seriously.


I do think Minstrels need to be adjusted in some ways, their melee damage is not on the list of tweaks though lol.
