So instead of being tied to our trigger skill it is tied to our induction interruption skill? Still not going to trait it.

Tie it to smashing stab and then maybe I'd trait BOTH of those instead...

If designated healer is a must and Mini isn't doing it for you then maybe take a look at Rune-Keeper. Good mix of healing and dps there.

My mid-60's LM can do a LOT of things, but DH isn't one of...

My guard is only mid-60's but I agree with everything Geventh said. Not sure those kind of changes are in the cards near-term though.

I suppose Break Ranks (and Retaliation to a lesser extent) is...

I agree that Break Ranks needs looking at, but I'm not sure it is even a good idea in general.

I'm in blue. I'm tank. Why would I want to trade out mitigations for a damage buff? I'd rather...

Our weekly fellowship group is getting ready to say farewell to Moria and all the great fellowship content it provided. Prior to Moria we mostly subsisted on snoozing through solo quest xp grind and...

Also check out Open Broadcast Software. It's free and pretty easy to use.

Agree 100%. I can't believe this bug still exists after the game has been around for so long.

Just had to update for low-end guards. The progression must not be very smooth at all because all of the sudden at 51 blue line is really fantastic. My group no longer needs to have a dedicated...

Great post!

I've been struggling with blue-line tanking in a group as well*. It feels like it is somehow more oriented toward soloing due to the lack of efficient AoE threat generation.

There...

Looks like going yellow with 2h helped out too. Now I can take on 4-5 oranges and get ~200 dps. Still not anywhere near the squishies but I have to say it is a lot more fun!

Thanks for the tips!

Right now at 47 my LM pet is one-shotting mobs that are tough for my 47 guard. At 47 LM dps averages around 400-500, while my guard dps maxes out around 120 on the same mobs. My 47 RK is also...

So I did a lot more experimentation today with a better 2h. 2h is getting me about 20dps more than 1h in red line for an average of about 120dps.
Bleed cashout doesn't seem very good. Cashing out...

Got a chance to do a bit more testing tonight and got a couple of levels.

Guard(47) red with a 2h got me to about 100dps (blue with shield is about the same with shield spikes). Might=360. I...

Yeah, Champ would be nice to bring in. That's my main and I love it, but I don't think anyone wants to level one up.

Good point on the flexibility. We tend to try to keep the same group together...

Might could have something to do with it as I've been focusing on Vit and Morale for grouping. But I'd be surprised if his might was less than the will of the other 2 classes. My guard stays well...

My guardian is level 46 and I'm finding my dps in a group is... really bad. Like so bad I'm embarrassed to even post this.

In fact it is so bad I leveled up 2 other characters just to compare....

Great, thanks for the feedback. We made the group based off of experience in other MMOs before we realized how flexible the classes in LOTRO really are.

We'll mess around with trait lines and see...

I have the privilege of grouping with a consistent fellowship for a few hours once per week. We are all mid 40's and moving into Moria and are a very very casual group.

We've been kicking around...
