Best Minstrel Class Trait Line

Best Minstrel Class Trait Line
It is more important than ever to choose the right class traits since Mines of Moria added class trait lines to the trait system. We will figure out which line we should be focused on as Minstrels like Watcher, Protector and Warrior.
The Watcher of Resolve starts off pretty good. Two slotted traits get you a 5% Power discount on all your Heals. But slotting another trait gets you a 10% improvement to Chord of Salvation. It's a handy skill, but with a 30s cool-down, it's kind of a minor emergency Skill that only gets used here and there.
Your fourth gets you a threat reduction from Anthem of Compasion. But again, it is not really great. If you can work through your Ballads to be able to play an Anthem, agro probably isn't a major issue. The Legendary you get for five Traits is a buff to your HoT, Soliloquy of Spirit, which is nothing to write home about.
Though nothing is really wrong with it, and having two Traits in here to get the Healing Power discount is good, that's about as we would go with Watcher of Resolve. The later buffs deserve a cool reception.
When it comes to the Protector of Song, the first buff, from having two Traits slotted is kind of lame: a cool-down reduction on Call to Greatness. But add a third and the effects from your Ballads last an extra ten seconds. You should think about all the Ballads you have and buffs they give.
Four traits get your Improved Tales. It is great to have better ones to choose from since you should always have a Tale running. And the Legendary Trait it opens is beautiful. It combines your four existing, improved Tales into two. The new combo Tales (of Warding and Heroism and of Frost and Flame's Battle) give you the full buffs from both of their constituent Tales, for just an extra point of Power per second.
You'll need to finish Book 2.6.7 to earn the Legendary, but anyone who groups with you will think it's worth getting you the Tales so they can have the buffs.
There you have it, you want to max out your Protector Class traits and get that Legendary. You can take your other two from the Watcher of Resolve for the Healing Power discount. But which should you choose?
The Warrior Skals has not really impressed, although the War-Speech skills were a great way to give the Minstrel some more DPS for soloing. The first buff, a 3s shorter cool-down on Herald's Strike, isn't really that useful. First off, you don't use Herald's Strike that much, particularly at higher levels. And when you do, it's usually in conjunction with Noble Cause, which wipes the cool-down out entirely.
From slotting a third Warrior-Skald class trait, the second buff you get makes it harder for targets to resist your Ballads, which is far more useful. However, it also adds -15% from your heals when War-Speech is on. War-Speech already takes away 50% so that's a big hit.
To add a fourth trait will get you more buffs and another 15% healing penalty. An 80% heal penalty means you can forget about having War-Speech on when healing. The Legendary Trait this allows a massive crit buff will make you an agro magnet if used in a group, so you will be healing like mad if using it.
So Warrior-Skald is out for groups, how about soloing? The thing is that the heal penalty from having War-Speech is so bad you turn it off a lot, and would do more damage with different Traits and War-Speech on more often. The Warrior Skald is just too hot to handle.
