I rely myself lucky that I’ve settled on a category — the Minstrel — that I completely take pleasure in in Lord of the Rings On-line. Other than fight pets, it actually has every thing I need out of a category, and I’m trying ahead to adventuring with it into the long run.
That stated, I — like many individuals — see different lessons working round and surprise what it’d be prefer to play these. I’ve tried out a couple of others, however there are a piece that I’ve by no means even rolled up. So for at present’s thought train, I wished to rank the lessons that I’ve by no means actually performed to any nice extent (which excludes the Minstrel, Captain, and Lore-master) within the order of least to most (if, you already know, I had the time).
Least : Guardian
Not solely are Guardians in a very unhappy state proper now within the reside recreation, they simply don’t have a playstyle that appeals to me within the least. If I wished a shield-using character, there are at the least two different lessons which have way more fascinating mechanics.
Champion
Champions additionally undergo from Generic Class Syndrome (GCS) in my thoughts. They’re nice in order for you a damage-dealing melee fighter, however that’s virtually by no means what I need. Laborious move.
Warden
Warden will get excessive marks for type — javelins and spears aren’t typical weapon selections in MMOs — and the combo system is hotbar-friendly and slightly distinctive. But it surely additionally requires some memorization, and every time I’ve tried one, I merely don’t have the persistence to get the entire patterns dedicated to reminiscence.
Beorning
Individuals appear to like Beornings, and the notion of a shapeshifter is at all times cool. In spite of everything, I actually did like my WoW Druid. However I don’t see an enormous attraction in taking part in a bear, nor in being a category that’s largely all melee. Cool idea, although.
Rune-keeper
What’s at all times held me again from Rune-keepers is how odd they appear within the context of this low-magic setting, however every time I’ve watched one in motion, I can’t deny I’m drawn to the playstyle. Numerous flashy spell results — and totems as well! However do I actually wish to be a cloth-wearing Dwarf working round with rocks in his hand?
Burglar
Burglars at all times look like the underdogs in LOTRO. They’re by no means essentially the most desired nor represented, however I’ve a comfortable spot for the thought of a twin dagger-wielding Hobbit slicing and dicing by way of enemies. I like their methods and skill to stealth, however the sound results are atrocious.
Most : Hunter
Hunters are vastly overrepresented in LOTRO, which might be the one factor that may maintain me again from taking part in one. The decoy dummies, ranged fight, additional map abilities, and quicker motion are all enormous pluses for the category. They provide low-key playstyle, and that’s to not be underestimated.
