The Watcher of Resolve
The Minstrel is already a powerful healer, with just the innate skills they gain as part of their core class advancement. When looking at where they could improve, their threat generation and power costs of morale healing skills both stood out. This Trait Set mitigates some of those limitations.
Traits in the Set:
This line of traits includes Life-singer and Subtle-movements as expected from someone focusing on healing as their primary role, but it also includes an improvement to the Minstrel’s cure fear ability enabling them to better deal with debilitating fear debuffs.
Trait Set Bonuses:
The Watcher of Resolve gains the ability of having a reduced threat profile and cheaper morale increasing skills, enabling them to survive for longer in endurance based fights.
Capstone Skill: Soliloquy of Spirit
The minstrel has traditionally lacked a heal over time in his normal rotation of skills; because largely this is the domain of the Captain and the Rune-keeper, however this skill enables them to overcome that limitation. This low powered skill enables him to cast a low threat heal from the very beginning of the fight.
Legendary Capstone Trait: Legendary Spirit
This legendary trait vastly improves the power of Soliloquy of the Spirit enabling Minstrels to start using it aggressively in long endurance fights to great effect, and giving the Minstrel a way to manage threat other then through big burst heals. This skill is especially effective when combined with Legendary Items as there are large enhancements available.
