Not only that, but when I asked my Kin about them, no-one could help me with advice as there is not a single Minstrel in the Kin, but there are over 50 Rune Keepers. So what gives? Are Minstrels not worth playing anymore, are they not able to compete or something?
You information seems to be either a little off or a little misleading. While ballads do build up to the coda they also have their uses as well, providing bonuses to your healing, your damage, and reducing the costs of your skills.
Well played minstrels can provide a lot to a group, in harmony they can provide a pretty nice buffs and some extra dps and decent healing.
In their healing stance (no stance) the healing is unparrelled, enough said.
Warspeech i consider a solo role and doesn't fit into groups imo, but i will say if you have a good WS mini they can put out some nice damage and will be able to fill that roll in a group setting if a champ, hunter, or rk isn't avaliable.
