Always been like this. Confirmed. Got test it yourself if you really can't believe it.
Or just watch videos of good minstrels.

03:05 pet mezzed // 03:06 pet released = demezz.

And yes, UTH 01 had actually bugs on minstrel charm (pulse frequency single not double, max level cap, spam etc).
Fortunately, they are working on doing a real 1.65 minst for Uth 2.0
Even if for now, max level cap bugged, release button broken, and pulse frequency single not double
Issues are open, and they are working on this. ( 1911 2489 etc)

On Uthgard I remember:
Minstrels not being able to spam charm
Minstrels being able to send multiple pets on one player (pet did not aggro minstrel after charm gone)

Don't get me wrong, I really hope you're right - but can you please find some forum discussion about specifically the purging? I'm at work but I'll load up Live later today and test this.

Those are obviously bugs. Upvote them on the tracker so they get fixed before release.

For the CC, I don't know when you played live servers for the last time but that's common knowledge. Just look for some minstrel pov on youtube and you should find some examples pretty quick.

What would you prefer to Grp with as a duo and a trio? No stealth

Minstrel, Sorc, Cleric is really strong.

By far the best trio alb in my opinion.
If you manage to handle very big pet, (buffed by the cleric) you can count this at a 3,5 man
2 Mezz 2 demezz 1 heal
The only problem could be dps when you are outnumbered.

caby+minstrel is awesome duo as well. Add cleric for trio
