This information is sound all in all but is missing some things....

First you can stealth and keep a pet charmed, this is tricky as you have to have your timing down to a science or your gonna get your butt kicked by either the pet or the person/group your attacking.... Practice with the Dragonflys in Gothwaite harbor if your on a blue server.


Another thing ive done instead of even bothering with getting involved with melee ( I hate having to get my hands dirty ) I let the pet do all the fighting...lets call this the Kiting Pet Minstrel. I generally charm red con mobs only (56-59) anyways, you cant afford to let one of these resist charm, so you just keep the pet targetted and spam the charm, stay at max range for your pet charm and keep an eye on your target, if he stops to fiight your pet turn around and assist with a DD or 2 save the stun for when it gets tricky, if he keeps chasing you , your pet gets to beat on them for free, and you get the easy win, you can add your ablative chant while your spamming the pet charm, that wont interrupt your pet charm if your spamming it anyways. If you have End potions this makes kiting even easier.

Another feature I have noticed with the Minstrel charm is that it will interrupt casters in combat (I think this is a Mordred only feature as an acqauintance of mine from another server has had no luck with it) what you want to do is when you see the caster winding up to cast you just spam the pet charm on them you must be in combat mode for this to work.


Lets add some combat tactics to this thread... you can do the DD Mezz timer dance... Find your target from stealth open up with your 2 DD's and start the mezz as soon as the 2nd DD hits (sooner you will get auto resisted) watch the clock as this is very very important, stay at range (mid DD range) and as soon as your 60 seconds is about up DD mezz, use the stun as back up. This is how you deal with those pesky Hybrid tank classes that dont have Determination. Purge is not your friend here, but thats what that back up Stun is for.


Well known pets for Frontier combat are, my personal Favorite the Frost Stallion, they are the single most devastating creature we can charm in my opinion...they do huge melee damage and AE Heat Proc. These are in Odins gate in Midgard. For the new pet minstrels the Icestriders and Fenrir Prophets are also good starter pets, both have neat abilities, these are also in Midgard.

Hib Frontier we have 3 to choose from, the Mindworm, these are all red to purple con mobs, they have single target 9sec stun and a single target mezz with good melee lightly armored. Then the Bloodletter (giant scorpion) they are 48-52 dual weild and proc a DoT they can out run anyone and then we have Pookas(black horse)they have huge melee and a single target str/con debuff 68 points if I remember correctly. (Ive seen a Pooka debuff and kill a hero before he could stag).

There are other neat pets readily availbale im sure but these are the ones I found most effective.

And the final tip for you new Pet Minstrels, get yourself the Nostromo n50 or the Game-Commander both of these controllers let you macro your keys....I have my pet charm cycle ever 1/1000 of a sec as long as I have the right button pressed....with this little feature ive been able tocharm and hold lvl 77 Caer Sidi mobs as pets. This takes practice and getting used to, so dont think that by getting this hardware your gonna become some super minstrel.

I know this is an old thred but I thought I would add my 2 cents

So if you have any questions youll find me trolling here or on the VN Boards on Mordred.
