I'm biased, because I play almost solely yellow, sometimes red.

How I view this is that there is more utility possibilities for yellow, but also red. So very much welcomed.

To me, it seems...

My own note after a year is that both traitlines are nice and very survivable with an offensive sword and board playstyle in landscape. Red is preferable because of the charge + stun combination and...

Captain has a bit more flexibility in possible roles, whereas the guardian has more "Oh ####" buttons to make life easy. The biggest selling point of a guardian is that beefy shield. If that doens't...

I'm a pure sword and board player, and mostly around on landscape. A brief comment is that the animations look incredible even to this day. Shield blow is quite nice and fast too. It would be nice if...

Throwing axes for the release of Dwarf wardens, yes please:P

Simple... You are suggesting dwarf wardens. Then at least make them epic and give them throwing axes.

Might as well make those available to champions and guardians among others. You already have...

Honestly, the captain should be able to do all three, at once... that's the jack of all trades. Trait trees have ruined the captain.

Expanding a bit on this:

I don't think secondary roles of one class should compete with primary roles of other classes.

That said, yellow hunter shouldn't rival LM or Burglars in their main...

I also only play yellow line hunter, it's perhaps not the meta, but it's fun and versatile with its improved survivability and traps. I agree that explosive arrow is useless and could see an upgrade....

I don't like this trend at all. Instead of fixing a class traitline, just stomp it, and put some candles on top to call it a pie . I'm nervous for all the non-meta builds I've enjoyed playing. Yellow...

It's been a while for me, Captain was once my main. The two handed weapon block concept killed immersion a bit for me, as it took the incentive to take a shield. Only blue line now sometimes uses a...

Blue captains with shield and weapon can be very sturdy by being able to heal through the damage they take, I used to solo some roving threats when Gondor was the meta. Mind you, it did take like...

One thing to think about.... LOTRO is a very easy game, and quite slow to reach the endgame. Enjoy the journey, is my recommendation.

That said.

Consider maybe what you enjoy more...

I've always wanted a dwarf captain for the halberd in 2008, but I accepted the Numenor background for Captains in the past: blood of Numenor doesn't flow in a dwarf. Though, overtime they have...

I want add to the good comment of Tralfazz
In endurance stance your quick shot will help you recover morale, it will help you tremendously when fighting strong enemies alone.
Personally I enjoy the...

Greetings,

Asking those with experience with the game at this age and day :) For doing pure sword and board (just loving the shield aesthetic) play style, would you do more DPS in red or blue...

We need stout axe wardens :P

Though they quite butchered the Warden of Moria days, leaving this monstrosity that we have today. I'm a salty ex warden main :P

But to be fair, the Brawler seems like a simple class that you...

Pretty epic idea...

Immune to disarm could be a strategy for the class, in my opinion makes more sense than being robbed of a glove.

Odd finding: Brawler can get 'disarmed' by mobs... Pretty gruesome.

Hi, seeing there is no generic feedback thread for brawler I post here.

Odd finding: Brawler can get 'disarmed' by mobs... Pretty gruesome.

For min-maxing, Man is the best one due to

+5% sword damage, sword better than axe due to Parry bonus %
+5% inc healing
+2% morale buff
+Block/parry/evade bonus is better than block bonus from...

I found myself enjoying shield and sword on my captain main the past year, but there was nothing really for the shield there except the visual appeal. I have mained a warden until RoI, but that class...

One thing that worked for me is to accept that not all characters need to see the end of the game... I keep an alt at every level range:

32
50
60
65
75
85 (though I don't care for this one...
