yeah, PR is nice. but i don't think 3 healers will be the normal setup. You can forget about FotG... it's like a 4 dps dmg add for 14 points, no skald will have that.
PF is also very nice, but nothing midgard special, but you are right it is in favour for midgard tank grps.

All in all midgard doesn't get any comparable good RA as the other two realms, but this is compensated with celerity i 've been told

well its worth thinking about running 3 healer setup with OF

At least I do

If albion is grouping thier "second demezz" aka SoS bot, what Class should Be dropped? Thier NS/disease bot? Thier theurg?
Albion will get screwed by this patch Hands down.

Either remove the pally and forcing everyone to skill high in tireless or Idk.
No MOF for the trispec cabby. And how to hell should an armsman fit in any Group?

Midgard will still be fine, they don't need RAs anyway. And PR is just awesome.

mhm... and? i think noone forget it ... but - castergrp = bof is useless. and sos? where is it imba?
Running around while mezzed and just jump like a rabbit and dont do anything... wow very imba. Tanks just could stay sticked at their targets but still could be rootet or mezzed or stunnend.

You never played old daoc times or? sos is / was and will be pretty strong.

It was strong, but he is still right... you can be mezzed/rooted/stunned while on the SoS trip. Its just very very useful against the midgard disease spam.

Right now sos makes you even cc imun, still no reason to group a ministrel. Forcing albs to group a mostly useless character because of a 30min reuse abillity is ....

If the Interrupt crap gets fixed, ministrels will be very useful again, but now ...

Sure, you can be cc'ed meanwhile. But you have 30 seconds to act complete freely. Root isnt the problem while sos is running and demezz can be cast pretty easily because you're able to position yourself with speed running (even though you shouldnt get mezzed and/or have purge rdy). Furthermore it can be used as a charge replacement for tanks.

Overall it'll give you an extreme inc/midcombat advantage (depens on the situation when it is used).

But you're right saying that minstrel rupt is broken and he would more or less be a demezz/sos bot while sos is on a 30min RUT. Let's see how they will perform anyways.

With purge on a 30min timer and the loss of AM and MOC and to a lesser extent rr5, i don't really see minstrel becoming a long time favorite group char in the old ra setting. You can deal with mezz or root sure, but ns...


Hopefully changes don't come too soon so i can still enjoy my minstrel a bit while it's still interesting to play.

Det being removed from Paladins is also a big reason IMO why Minstrels would be more popular with OF

Pala will be dropped for sure, but I don't see a mincer doing any better then now tbh.

Second sorc is a way better choice.
Or don't you know why most albs run on caster speed...

you all seem to think that the ra's will be implemented perfectly

there is no point really talking about it yet, as the realm that will be strongest will be the one with the strongest bug to abuse

Haha, you will see less alb grps doing rvr cause they ban all the palas and force everyone to have all the potions/charges to compensate.

Albion: SoS, 2xBoF, SB, FH.
This is almost impossible to win any kind of CC on them, and they can be very hard to get down meelee.
if you survive the SoS period you might have a chance to turn the game.

This is my opinion so i reserve the right to be wrong

also alb casters groups with VP

old VP does like 750 HEAT damage. Mids and hibs should allways run 50% heat resistance. waste of RA points.

It will be completely bugfree. If you think something is wrong just go on live and oh...

Well,ministrels will come to place of paladinsFor fix desadvantages of endu bot,tnks will get ra about it.For example with sos all alb group will be like they used charge.Enemy group will get mezzed or rooted or ns'd.And purge will be waste.
Well we are speaking like that but there is only one thing can change everything.And it is skill ; )

It will just cost 10-14 realmpoints to compensate the lack of poor class design.... Ah and the loose of blockpet. But Albion can do something every 30 mins. Yay OF is awesome....

u surely got it right that OF RAs will be implemented for all the 3 realms and not alb only?
