minstrel help - Phoenix Freeshard

Alright, so i recently was able to template my minstrel and i feel the potential of the class but after a fight theres a sense wrong doing. I have won a few solo fights but mostly because my characters kit was stronger than theirs and there was very little skill involved. My intentions for this char is to mostly play solo and a duo from time to time but during fights theres times where i simply dont know what to do. Between just putting in the reps and learning when to pull off and kite and when to initiate, is there any general advice from more experienced minstrel players that helped you out that you wished you knew from the jump? I know its very situational and alot of it is just putting in the time but i figured i would ask. Thanks in advance.

The haters will say that's how it is as a minstrel

(and to some degree a lot of DAoCs fights really are like that, not only for minstrels...a lot depends on circumstances and the kind of inc)

That said, you mentioned that at some points in fight you didn't know what to do. I feel like you need to describe such a situation in detail and then someone could help with their view what they would have done

thanks for this. will read through this for sure.

yeah i guess its more of when i get added. like going into a fight ill initiate with just my pet and then kinda pull back to see how they react. After i see them ignore the pet and run towards me ill passive my pet and quick turn to grab view for flute mez and then again at the end of tune or whatever to mez him. go back and side stlyle him for the ASR and pet agro him and then stun him and get the backstyle bleeds. and then i save my dd's if i see adds and if there arent any ill burn them on my target. i try to get him to 30% health and then run away and let pet damage it more. turn around and dd him and give him a side style as im running through him. twist speed and health regen and wait til pet get hims to 10% ish and then go all in on him with dd's and stun (if not immune) and styles. Is this the normal way? i guess its just dealing with the adds that typically botch me up.
