The minstrel is a controversial and highly demanded class in every RvR playstyle. Due to his unique mechanics, we are aware that balancing this class is a challenge. Our attempt is to keep the customizations to a bare minimum and allowing his original mechanics to shine as much as possible.
Overall:
-
Minstrels may use Harps
-
Lowered Cure Mezz from level 27 to 17
Lowered level 17 DD to 16
RAs:
-
Speed of Sound now breaks upon taking offensive action.
-
Speed of Sound now grants CC immunity for its duration. If the player is mezzed or stunned before SoS activation, they will remain stunned/mezzed but be able to move for the duration of SoS. Crowd control or status effects are not cleared by SoS and remain active when SoS wears off.
