Hi all,
I am planning to start an alt with the update and am planning to level a healer, which means dps or RK. For purposes of RP, but also because I like their buffing components, I think I'd prefer healing on the minstrel... *but* most of solo is dps, regardless of class type and, at least through the late teens, I have found minstrel dps mode uniquely boring: a fear now and again, but otherwise piercing cry, ballad, ballad, ballad, ballad, ballad, piercing cry, ballad, ballad, and so on.... the animations don't even change! RKs zap, zap, but at least you can throw some cold and fire stuff down to break up the monotony.
So I guess I'm wondering whether soloing on the minstrel gets more interesting later on and in what ways? I know mini's get some AoE stuns and such, but does "the feel" of the fighting stay the same?
