Book7: Huge Bang
Require level 65. I haven't reach lv65 yet, but from what I heard from people who had play minstrel longer, Huge Bang is the skill book that you have to get the book and learn it self. Huge Bang dealt damage and drains MP off a single target just like Ferrules Attack, only difference is that Huge Bang does not consumes rage and the amount of MP drain off target is twice as much as Ferrules Attack.
Book lv35: North Pole
Require lv35. Book with no skill, but as you level up the book, crit hit will increases.
Which Book to add, what attribute to add:
Book 5 is always needed because it has Frenzied Fire Ball which is very useful in pvp because of the chance of double damage AND also Ward of Nymph mode that causes burning which is useful in training with party.
Book 2 is also important because it provides you with skills necessary to capture enemy and so on.
Book 4 and 3 kind of go together because book 4 provide skill to trigger Disorientation Trap from book 3. However book 4 is more useful in pvp as to book 3 is more in training. So you decide which one to increase feat first.
Book 1 is active skill, so if you want your active damage to be higher then you can level it.
Book 6 is not important imo. Requires too much to cast...suggest not adding it.
Book 7...The reason I put it last is because you cannot learn it until you reach lv65, even if you have the book before that. This skill is an important skill in pvp because it drains off MP, which meelee classes lack.
Attribute
In my opinion, there are two popular way of adding the point into your attribute.
1. Full stamina: This way minstrel can stay in pvp longer because mintrel lack HP..one of the lowest class with HP.
2 Full Agility (my stats as well): Increase your crit..Minstrel special. But need to equip weapon with Stamina gem.
As for pet, I advice pet that can heal you (Dedication skill) because Minstrel lacks in HP. (if you follow full stamina, strong damage pet is more welcome)
Training
1. SOlo with pet that has Dedication. (skill can also be drop)
2. Train with party. Minstrel has aoe skill so it should be welcome to pt.
I will Update as I find more things about Minstrel.
