I have 5 characters in LOTRO. Of the 5, the minstrel is my least favorite. Try playing a captain. There aren't that many playing captains, but they are good in melee, have ranged cry, heal, buff, and have a companion (a human herald standard bearer).BTW, minstrels in a group that are in a hard fight can be really fun. At medium lvls they get targeted heals, group heals, and group buffs. And the solo pretty well also.LOTRO is similiar to World of Warcraft but with better enviroments (both graphic and immersion wise). And the instance drive Epic story line quests are fantastic.
