Honourable mentions and top list

Hey Ladies and Gentleman.

It's been a while since I've seen a thread of this nature now please don't talk about how op classes are or are not. We all know certain classes have an advantage. But you can still tell the good from bad even out of the FOTM classes.

So in YOUR own opinion who do you think deserves an honourable mention maybe you had a decent 1v1 maybe you want to release your list of best players. Or share a few pictures of battles you have had do it all here.

I'd have to start with Baunderbridge he was the first creep I encountered and plays his class really well I've personally seen him solo camp gv vs 4 freeps.

A list of people I have seen that deserve a place on my top list so far are.

Ba, Baunderbridge, always a pleasure to die to this one, we have some great 50/50 1v1s

Defiler, Moz, goth, I was actually only fighting these recently and they know how to heal and dps not just spam 1,2,3

Warg, cheese is consistent and always pushes in no matter the odds, shout out to fluffy and carefulbite they always giving me a hard time.

Spider, arachnophobia, and I can't remember the other guys name he was at GTA earlier blue rank beings with m. Both play class well I have to plan out before attacking

Wl, I don't see many they are defiantly in demand I may update with a name later

Reaver, velvet, saz, well played reavers, shows even when all other classes get buffed your still wrecking havoc and getting kills.

.............................. ...........

Hunter, ahk this guy has some mad dps, makes me happy when I have him around

Burg, stagger seems to be terrorising creeps

Mini, none I haven't seen none !!!!

Rk, to be announced

Lm, to be announced

Warden, to be anounced

Bear, to be announced

Champ, to be anounced

Cappy, cheese's cappy, willing to swap lines whenever needed always on right target,

Writing this from a Black arrows perspective
Freeps-
Hunter-Ahkilles
Minstrel-Need some more experienced ones but Bigmini for now
Runekeeper- Same as ministrel but its thoi for now
Captain- Worldwide or cheese's captain and elwerd if he got better gear
Champ-None come to mind atm
beorning-Only burgin left
Lore master-Callem (I try not to put myself on my own list but not any really good lms left)
Burg-Cissy
Warden-seanbean
Guard-Magdur

Creeps-
Reaver-Vic, although your rusty, your still a monster xD also saz... but only cause no one else is here
Black Arrow-Baunder (I dont think anything needs to be said)
Warleader-Grogug
Defiller-None that have mastered the art of kiting and healing
Warg-Reported (if vic has played him) Wolfgash

Its nice to see things are picking up a little.

And maybe make it on these list again. ;)



Beatlejuice-R15-Rvr

Thine list of things are bad comedy............
Ive been back abit on my old stomping grounds and found none to play with. Must just be me. Carry on then.

I'll take a swing at this, though it will be limited since I've only been back in Moors for a little over a month.

FREEPS:

Hunter- Ahkilles - Only worked with him in one fight, but he's GOOD!!

Burg- Stagger

Cappie- Cheese's cappie - OK, Cheese is the only one I've seen, but it still counts!

Guard- Mag - Run with Mag a few times.

Warden- Seanbean (Honorable Mention Bleddig)

There are others I've run with who impressed, but I was so busy getting my feet under me, that I didn't catch their names.

CREEPS:

BA- Baunder - No need to even ask! Ran into him at Lumber camp a couple weeks ago. There was a group of 4 hunters, Ahkilles running solo, and me also solo. Baunder killed 2-3 hunters for every time we took him down.

Warg- Skulkins - There are many but Skulk stands out simply because I seem to ALWAYS run into him. Also Moz and Ironjaws.

Reaver- Velvet - Had a lot of fun fighting him! First Reaver I've run into that gave me a fight 1-on-1.

Defiler- Frakut

As for others, same as I mentioned above, I've seen some good ones, but been too busy learning to fight in the Moors to catch their names.

ETA: Added Velvet and Frakut

I'll add in mentions for Ghate, Aethodil, and Frakut. Ran up against them Wednesday night at TR. They also had a warg (didn't catch name) and Supercheese with them. I was with a Champ (Bluddshedd?), a Beorning, and a LM. We got our butts handed to us! Ghate and Frakut worked flawlessly together and we couldn't touch them, even with my DPS. I'd get Aeth, Super, or the warg down to like 10% morale and watch it magically climb back to 100% as I was hammering away. That's when I decided it was a lost cause. LOL!

Well this isn't going to be easy but here goes.

Freeps

First and foremost I would like to state right off I hate you all equally. This review in no way earns those mentioned any special rights or privledges That aside on request of my Lawyer lets get on with the menu. I mean list.

Hunter " Coldfells Eiite. Reforged 1st Age Bow. Seriously 2 that stand out and hard to pick one would be Eroset and Akilles. Both equally a pain in my ### literally as I'm usually running away from them.

Beorning " Whats a Beorning ? Not much to say here. But one that's currently semi retired would be Burginsbaby. I may never finish my Beorning kills deed.

Burglar " Another hard choice. So many of late but one recent standout would be Cissy. A very determined Burg for sure. Comes at you hard and sticks around unlike many Burgs. Many honourable mentions but the only other that stands out is Staggers. His fault I now have to trait enhanced sense prey.

Champion " Havnt seen him around lately but Gilbourne could give me fits. Usually him and Olossmur would double team. Havnt seen him either. Of recent I would have to give the nod to Larute. A bit cocky at times but tends to outrun his heals. burp !

Minstrel " Master of the Flop award has to go to Bigmini. Even after we've killed him I stand over the body just to be sure he's really dead. Great heals and a handful most times.

Guard " Magdur's Shield. Seriously does he even own a Two Hander. Gotta hand it to him tho he comes out and does his thing. Don't know of many that can solo him without a real fight on their hands. Myself included.

Rune Keeper " Those damn rocks ! THOI ! What can I say except he has set a fire burning in me that cant be extinguished. To many times have I felt the burn. And not just when I pee. Something I suspect also due to him in some way.

Captain " Worldwide. Seriously if your worldwide why did you have to stop on our world ? Kidding aside welcome to Gladden. I don't think I've ever seen you with the same moral. Once its 50k another its 70k and another its 35k. Make up your mind so I know to call you out or not. DPS, heals pets a real PITA. But for sheer balls gotta give it to Cheese's cappy.

Lore Master " Erienda ? However its spelled. Another that's becoming a bother and needs to be stopped. Stop with the fires already don't you even care about global warming.

Warden " Seanbean. I really really hate this guy. Sorry I didn't mean that, what I ment was I @^%$(!@ hate this guy. Stop playing connect the dots with my ###. Did I mention I hate this @7^%$*& guy.

Well this list has taken me quite some time. If someone wasn't mentioned or feels slighted, get over it. I'll have to give some thought to the Creepside list. As I hold most of them in the highest regards as the finest players in the history of LOTRO. And I know how much you all respect my valued opinion.

Haur is the first one to come to my mind.

this is my list of the best gladden pvpers at their class.
Freepside:
Burgular: Got to hand it to skengman(redcoat) for showing me how capable a burg really is, even if he didn't stick around for long.

Beorning: Algebra, the Best bear on gladden and probably a top 5 in game.

Captain: only one that isn't absolutely rubbish and doesn't always run around in yellow line so he can live for an extra 15 seconds to get back to the 1 shots would be cheese

Champion: Jacque for sure, him and algebra make a hell of a dual

Guardian: They all play like trash so I'm just going to have to say Nimp cuz shes cute

Hunter: Elroh, he showed up when I was low rank and set the bar for gladden hunters who havent come close to passing.

Minstrel: Silannix or Vorr. think sil might have stopped playing.

Runekeeper: I guess Thoi is competent now? okey then

Warden: BULWARKK most competent freep out there, and the only Warden on gladden worth thinking of other than Faeramir.

CREEPS:
Reaver: Velvetsixteen is the only one that deserves this spot

Blackarrow: Slingshots, think he left so giving this one to vapegod

Weaver: Azda's spider

Warleader: Azda's warleader

Defiler: Deathlyheals made a filar on gladden, nuff said?

Warg: Incontrovertible #1 Vorr's warg #2 rest of you wargs got a ways to climb.

As a pvp freep-player since almost 10 months now (although 10 yr lotro acct), I have met fairly large number of creeps on Gladden. The server pvp was rather less engaging in my early days but then it was certainly picked up, with some huge ceep raid vs freep raid fights in the last few weeks. These are encouraging signs, and I hope all players (freeps/creeps) keep it going this way.

Here I will lay out the names of some challenging (and hence honorable) creepside players only, whom I have fought against in my journey so far. If I do not mention some names, it is most certainly because those are players against whom I have not been tested in combat, so I cant judge them :-). I will also be highlighting certain up-coming creeps to watch out for (rank 6-8) in some classes.

Reaver: Lapuhh/Risinghell is one reaver I know who could output some nasty damage with fast moves, and also be thick-skinned to survive/mitigate lots of my damage. I know some freeps who really tried to avoid Lapuhh in past, as they found him to be invincible. In upcoming Reavers list, I can only think of Reapermaniac (Burgins) that comes to my mind. Pussface (Viccay reaver) can also be challenging to fight and win against (sometimes :rolleyes:).

Blackarrow: No 2nd to Baunder indeed. That creep can really hit hard and also survive my biggest fire dot/damage. When I see Baunder around, I usually ask my mini friend to prepare extra heals and trait for high Phy Mit. Upcoming BA - I would name Slingshots here as he would be my preferred target these past months. He does not have survivability as good as Baunder, but indeed he does output significant damage, specially with VT.

Defiler: Frakut is the one whom I have seen and fought most against. He is good at move-n-heal skills and keeps his fellowship going for a challenging fight. Always my priority target if I see him in creep group. Sadly, I cant think of any upcoming defilers here, as others whom I have met really melt fast (not a fan of morale monsters).

Warleader: I see many above me have named Ghate as their fav but I have fought only on few occasions against him. Again, I am not big fan of seeing a 180K morale monster WL :) but I am sure he is skilled. Now Frakut + Ghate in craid is something that will be tough fight to win against. In upcoming Warleaders, I ll name Moz (sorry I cant remb the full name here) but I believe he is WL of Mozmush the warg. He can also keep a creep-fellow going and fighting.

Wargs: Certainly not my fav class :) and I am sure I am neither for them :p. But Skulkins sure is one warg I know has been challenging to me, many a time. With most wargs, I am sure that if they HiPs with my DoT actively ticking, I may not see them again before their HiPs CD is reset. But not with Skulkins. He is one fighter warg who will take his chance and pounce back to aim for the killing blow. Personally I have had few in-game chats with him, and I find him welcoming and friendly to talk to. Upcoming warg to me would be Gloriouscheese. I have seen this warg from being very squishy and easy to melt in beginning (until rank 4), to being a very challenging player to kill now past few months. Has fast mouse movements too which makes it difficult for my RK to keep lock target on.

Weaver: Now this class here is something I leave empty for now. There was once, this spider, who had/still has this hate for me but that does not qualify it to this list :o. In the upcoming list, I see less weavers out these days, with on/off players so I would also leave this empty for now.

Now this here was a huge post. I did, certainly, use the down-time very effectively. See you all in moors ...

Baunderbridge just got some votes on the most recent Arkenstone 'Best Of' list for the time he spent there.

Well, at least some new people have popped up where the old ones have vanished!

If you run on low graphic settings, I'm sure a $400-$500 computer would do the trick.

Any updates? How's things now. Who's the best around I need to beat when I get back?

I updated mine from what I remember fighting over the last 2 years. It will have changed, since a lot of people have had enough of the game, but still worth honoring the best of the best for the server.
