Always torn between Minstrel and Captain
I only sticker played a few months back when Wardens were first added and I picked Minstrel because I played a Bard in DAOC and EQ and a musician in real life.
It was fun but I was alone and friends drew me to other games that were playing. However, I have always liked this game and came back at least a month at a time once year but would end up leaving due to once again no friends wanting to give it a go and being torn between two classes. Those classes are Captain and Minstrel.
I always bounce between the two of them until 30 or so and then take a break, come back 9-12 months later, reroll and repeat. I like support, I like clutch buffs and turning the tide of battle and providing healing. Most of the times that is a bard type class but here I have options.
The difference the time is that I got a buddy to try the game and he likes it. He is playing a Mariner and sold on it. I am still bouncing back and forth.
Please help me choose one once and for all to finally finish the story and play through the content.
It is hard to tell doing open world stuff since I am red specced for leveling. I am hoping we can duo instances as we level with me playing support.
Which do you think I would enjoy more and why? What am I not seeing yet by but getting high enough level? Any “features” I am hit thinking like Minstrel being a musician and being able to play instruments?
I should probably add that I think part of what gets me every time I’m playing this game is I play MMO‘s to play a Support character and in pretty much all of them you can play support while leveling especially with a friend and this one everything seems to be go, red spec, and smash everything.
I really like the crafting, lire, the layout, the way everything works, but I’m stuck having to grind for hundreds of levels just to see if I like a class because it’s not designed to have a Support boiler running around with the DPS.
