| Posted: 21 Nov 2020 01:48 AM PST As u/angrywateringcan suggested, here is a short summary of the current meta (as a separate post, not as a response, so that it might be pinned if needed). First I'll write a short summary to each class and each trait tree. I'm using a ranking system from S to D, with S being OP and D being completely useless. I'll give every class an overall ranking and a ranking for eacht trait tree. I'll prioritize on raiding, while keeping PvE and PvMP in mind. (I "only" play 5 classes in max-lvl raids, those being Beorning, Burg, Champ, RK and Cappy, the rankings for the other classes might be a bit off.)
That's my short summary of every class in U 28. Like I said, I don't play some of the classes, that's why I can't say much to some of the trait trees. If there are questions or if I got something wrong, just HMU. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Nov 2020 07:48 PM PST Hello, I'm currently looking for a new MMO to start. I played LOTRO back in 2007 and I remember it being enjoyable. I think I returned at another point as I remember playing Warden in some library dungeon when they were super tanky and healy and unkillable, and riding mounts and their combat. I've been thinking about returning but I'm having troubles convincing myself to go through with it. The first step to doing so is being motivated to make a class, but I guess I had a few questions. I enjoy playing support, so I was thinking between Captain, Burglar, Loremaster and Minstrel. I do like the idea of debuffing more than buffing, but I always loved the support role. Unfortunately, in more modern MMOs I'm not very good at making friends and finding groups to run with, so it's also important to me that the class is able to solo well, as I imagine I'll be playing solo most of my time. It's not that I'm anti social or anything along those lines, I just feel my personality doesn't mesh with many so I find myself running solo more than not. Originally when the idea came to mind to return to Lotro my heart was set on Captain, but I'm not fully committed because from a roleplay perspective I dislike the idea. Captain always came off as a Paladin-esque roleplay static personality type of thing and I'm more of a in the background manipulator esque type of person. An underdog class appeals to me the most. Classes that are considered OP or overplayed are an immediate turn off. I haven't done any research on the "rankings" or "most played class" or anything along those lines. Difficult classes are fine, I'm a very experienced MMO player and I play like... 18 hours a day when I'm hooked in a game so I pick things up no matter how difficult they are. I should also note I am not a min/maxer. I like to do what's fun, but I also like to contribute and be the best I can be without sacrificing fun. That is a confusing statement, so a comparison to another MMO would be in WoW I would play Survival Hunter, even though I know it's the worst spec and MM and Marksman were better but I was able to compete with people who were much better specs with similar gear despite being the worst spec. Any thoughts on the class that would appeal to me the most? It doesn't even have to be one I recommended, I was just providing information about me so hopefully someone more experienced in the game can provide their feedback. The only class thats an immediate no to me is Runekeeper. I tried watching some videos on the classes, but all the more recent ones, respectfully, were really bad. They just read off the in game description of the classes and showed low level gameplay or showed off their animations. I considered watching older videos but there may have been reworks and such. After a class is determined, I had some questions about the game itself. How much money would I be looking to spend if I wanted to experience the story? What server should I consider if I wanted to roleplay in the future? Is the community large enough to find groups for older content? Am I able to do older content solo, like for example I remember the Barrows Down Dungeon? Am I able to complete the story solo and how long do you feel it is? What are some of the bad parts about the game? Aside from the "Good community" the youtubers boast about, what are your favorite parts of the game? What does end game involve? Is the PVP community still active? I remember enjoying the idea of playing as a spider, but I don't think it was balanced at the time and spider wasn't able to do much. Thank you for your time!

| Posted: 20 Nov 2020 11:38 AM PST Given so many updates to various classes, as a casual player, I'm finding it hard to keep up with what class (and trait) is the current meta for dps, tank, heal etc.. Therefore I was wondering whether it would be possible to create a pinned post on reddit with a short summary of what is the meta for each class (or whether the class is even relevant atm - like RKs)? Regardless of what the moderators decide to do with this idea, I'd like to at least ask you to give me your opinions about current meta and relevancy for each class. Thank you very much!:) [link] [comments] |
| 2h dwarf class? Champ or guard Posted: 20 Nov 2020 09:05 PM PST Heya folks, brand new player. Do either of these classes have good specs for 2handed fighting? I'm hoping to play a melee dps using a 2hander but has to be a dwarf. So either champion or guardian. From what I gather champion is more dual wielding and guardian is mostly tanking. Or am I simply out of luck with what I'm hoping to play and need to settle for something else? Edit: I should add that seeing as I'm brand new I'm taking this very casually. Personally I'd prefer to go with a 2h guardian, but that's assuming people don't flame me for having a bad spec lol [link] [comments] |
| Killing Ergoth - A Relic In Lumul-Nar - Am I doing something wrong? Posted: 20 Nov 2020 01:42 PM PST I'm a L64 Bard (the instance is level 60) doing the vol 2, book 8, chapter 3 quest which involves entering Lumul-Nar in Moria, turning all the mirrors the right way so they reflect the light correctly, and eventually defeating Ergoth. I'm fine with the mirrors, but when I jump down to fight her, but she is beating me in just a few turns, even using potions and such. I tried staying out of range, but she shot me with some sort fire attack which left me with just 500 morale left. Is there something I'm missing? I don't remember struggling with this one before, but it's been a while since I've done it, so I could be missing something important! It's just very frustrating getting all the way through Lumul-Nar, to die and revive right at the very beginning, then have to run all the way through again, only to keep getting my ass handed to me. Thanks for any help anyone can give, even if that's just confirming I'm doing everything correct, I just need to get better with the bard! [link] [comments] |
