Which race i have to choose for 50/50 solo grp rvr . Are they any important differences ?

For melee dps choosing a low str race can make a huge difference on dmg. For a caster class (dps, healer, cc) cast speed difference between high and low dex is noticeable. But when it comes to minstrel there is no the best or the worst race. Your melee dmg doesn't scale as well as armsman and your only spell cast which benefits from dex is the useless aoe mez with huge cast time (you can only use it when your sorc is dead, bunch of enemies staying together and ignoring you )

The minimum difference between races are;
Highlander: highest str and con (more dmg from slash and more health)
Saracen: highest dex (more dmg from thrust and more evade/block (block had a fixed value of %10 for non-shield spec classes in Uth 1.0)
Briton: balanced version of two above

For group 50 inst / 44 thrust is the vay to go imo. I prefer it to be saracen. For solo you can't have weapon that high since you need stealth and slash has better styles/dmg if you are going with low weapon spec. So highlander+slash would be my choice but as I said the difference is really minimum. You should pick whatever you like.

Thx a lot , we will see

I hope we will

It's pretty stupid to go into melee as a solo minstrel, highlander is a bad choice except you like the look.
My Skald didnt have a template neither did he use buff charges but still killed all the amg VIPs by plain kiting, with a minstrel it's even easier.

Wanna explain why highlander is a bad choice while you claim that you can win against everyone just kiting? Are britons better runners or something?

Britons don't have skirts that slow them down.

You make more sense than celteen.

Saracen for faster demez. Melee is only to be used as a last resort in battle, so do not factor it into your choice of race.

Well, it depends on the way you wanna play, ofc kiting and avoiding melee is a good method to win as a minstrel, but is it fun?

A lot of people have fun plaing only if they win

What's the fun losing in melee all the time while kiting is a 100% win + the rage emotes of the tanks dieing without the slightest chance
Good times on my epic armor skald vs smoovy haha

What skills do you use to keep tanks away from you? Arent they on cooldown after you used them?

Stun, mez, LW+end pots+sprint, SoS, slash side style snare or thrust 44 snare 2nd in chain anytime. Some pets can disease/cast cc/style snares/stuns though I am not sure what pets are available in frontier here yet.

If you plan to play in a group, highlander will be your best choice. Because the only important stat for you is con
