T3 Build

[Caldarion]

Hi all!
I have a lvl 120 LM that can handle T2 Ered Mithrin instances, but T3 seems just out of reach. I was wondering if I could get some feedback from some of you.
His stats:
Morale 101k
Power 10k
Armour 100k
Vitality 22k
Will 30k
Fate 3k
Crit.Rating 60k
Finesse 93k
Phys.Mast. 30k
Tact.Mast. 211k
Phys.Mit. 111k
Tact.Mit. 95k

Essences (all level 12) Finesse x6 Phys.Mit. x1 Tact.Mit. x3

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you =)

If you are going yellow (as you should be most of the time), you have too much mastery and not enough finesse. For T3 you will want around 150k finesse, with mits in the 120k range unbuffed. Your unbuffed morale seems ok, but a little more wouldn't hurt.

In my opinion, if you are playing yellow (some are same as by mmdur1, some not:


- your morale is enough

- bring finesse to 100-110k (150k not needed. One will see resists on skills, but just seldom)

- rise mitigation to 120k unbuffed

- you can lower you mastery. Debuffs don´t require mastery, so it isn´t that much needed


I would like to ask, what is your problem with t3 actually? Can you name reasons why t3 is out of reach for you? It is not always about numbers and stats.

Thank you for the replies. I'll work on some switch jewellry for yellow. I solo a bit, and I usually go blue despite the nerf our pets have taken. The buffs they've given them help. As to why I feel T3 is out of reach for me, well, that is a good question. Went to TG T3 the other day and, yes, was resisted, but I felt the whole group wasn't quite ready. I guess it's confidence and I can only get that by doing T2 until I can walk through the instance asleep. Perhaps it's more the player than the toon in this case. Thank you for asking...made me stop and do some thinking.

T2 TG is very sleep-worthy. Trash morale is ridiculous in there. T3 needs a really solid tank/healer setup along with top tier dps.

T2 TG is very sleep-worthy.

Depends on the players. For the ones who run t3 regularly, true. For the new players in group content... not so much.

To be fair a yellow LM is the least equip dependent class in lotro. You schould get some mits and finess.
But the equip would never hinder you to take part in thikil or glimmerdeep t2.
