Hi,

Apart from the blue line anomalies: https://forums.lotro.com/forums/showthread.php?692198-Blue-captain-healing-anomalies

Would be nice to know what is the vision behind the captain roles...

BPE were reintroduced in raids with Gundabad or are you talking about a specific skill or attack?

Not a 100% sure, but I remember as there is no BPE penalty for higher tiers, only Pmit, Tmit, and...

I've only done HH T2 full and T3 B1 so far as blue champ.

Aggro was only an issue when I had to constantly swap with other tank between boss and adds.

Initial aggro on a fresh group of adds...

While I do agree, we are talking about two different things.

The fact that a class/spec is classified as a tank or healer means that it has all the necessary tools to perform its job.

If thats...

Maybe it's just me, but based on brawler, the term, offensive support tank is not a term for hybrid class but for a tank class which has additional utility in the offensive support departement.
...

Well, apart from the current state of tanks, what I would like to know is what role the tanks should fit in to, not how should they fit (at least for now).

This would be the high level design.

Hi, the above sentence (title) really got me.

Could we get a feedback from the Devs regarding the different tanks and their intended role, even if some of the classes are not there yet?

Would...

I'm pushing my blue champ in HH T2 currently and while don't have T3+ experience yet, the shortcomings are already coming to surface.

The minimum changes I would welcome are:

I will only comment on blue since that's what I main.

"DPS This is something a blue captain should be contributing to but simply doesn't in terms of melee."

-While this is our smallest problem,...

First of all, my main is a captain.

Captains are in a really weird situation now, we are classified as a support class (partially old times habit), but in practice we are fulfilling either tank,...

I do agree with you in that we need to be able to handle burst situations and yes we have to target out time to time, that is ok.

I don't say that 15 sec is the proper CD (it was just a starter ...

By tab targeting I meant switching from your current target...sorry if it confused you, thought its obvious.

Stacking up GD then burning it with inspire is higher HPS than just keep GD on CD,...

I've never sad that you should never target ppl., you should in specific cases, but that's not the default for a melee character, you know, its a melee character.

Pls. count me how many tab target...

You may not like the design choice but that's how captains designed at the moment.

We have literally 1 single target heal and its a hot. This fact should speak for itself.

It looks like you...

Ok, it looks like there is a big difference in how we see the class.

Here is my take.

A traditional healer's gameplay resolves around targeting fellow members and firing the appropriate healing...

Just out of curiosity, how often do you really need burst heal? You don't have to heal through non trivial dmg or bypass mechanics or constantly top off ppl (other then the tank).

Lets say WoC...

MC --> Sorry, I meant WoC, corrected it in my earlier post.

Burst heal: there are many options here, the question is how much development effort can SSG invest in it (they should have done this...

We are facing 3 issues here.

First, all heals, especially the trait line specific heals should be contributing to the overall healing and should be bug free, this is not a buff, but a fix of...

It would be interesting to put yellow Beo and blue Capt side by side and compare them, DMG, ST HPS, AOE HPS, buffs, debuffs, survivability, and utility wise.

I don't like homogenisation, I would...

I will just cherry pick one topic.

Based on my personal experience (maining blue capt), survivability is not really the issue.

Yes, we have to stay in melee which is always a threat (I'm being...

Dear Devs,

Apart from the anomalies:

What is reasonably expected from this trait line? How does it...

Ok, first off all, good point regarding the T4/T5 lock.

Now, if there are 6 dps/support and 3 tanks, then you can form 3 groups for T4/T5 and every one can participate, if there are 60 dps/support...

Very good points, I also can confirm these from a healer's POV.

When I was actively tanking, experienced the similar issues, how ever, I don't think that the problem is with the concept of tanking, its rather with everything else, like you and others have...

Good to hear that you have tanks and can enjoy the game. :)
(We have 1 tank currently and I know another small Kin without any tanks in endgame...and there are the scheduling challenges too.)
