More answers will come in our next 20 (40) questions feature. #LOTRO #HELMSDEEP Loremaster Dev Diary https://www.lotro.com/en/game/articles/developer-diary-lore-master-class-changes-helm%E2%80%99s-deep The Keeper of Animals is the Lore-master’s pet line. Specializing in this line will make your pets stronger and tougher to take down, as well as offer new interactions between you and your pets. The Master of Nature’s Fury is the Lore-masters DPS Line. Traits in this line will give you the ability to wield Flame, Lightning, and Frost to great effect. Last, but certainly not least, is The Ancient Master. This specialization will give you a suite of debuffs and disables which can render your enemies’ attacks useless, or make them more vulnerable to the attacks of you and your allies. The Ancient Master also has the ability to restore the Morale and Power of allies. Hunter Dev Diary https://www.lotro.com/en/game/articles/developer-diary-hunter-class-changes-helm%E2%80%99s-deep the Bowmaster the stationary, long ranged damage dealer, the Huntsman the mobile-induction harasser the Trapper of Foes the utility hunter who primarily uses traps for damage and crowd control.Being usable in combat, reducing the induction or removing it in some cases, being able to place them via ground targeted, etc. all seemed to really make traps a lot more fun and engaging to use. Minstrel Dev Diary https://www.lotro.com/en/game/articles/developer-diary-minstrel-class-changes-helm%E2%80%99s-deep A Minstrel in Melody is decent at dishing out both damage and healing, but excels at neither. Resonance is the Minstrel’s healing stance, and opens up their most potent healing abilities. Dissonance is the Minstrel’s DPS stance, and allows the Minstrel access to their fiercest attacks, but prevents them from healing allies. Rune Keeper Dev Diary https://www.lotro.com/en/game/articles/developer-diary-rune-keeper-class-changes-helm%E2%80%99s-deep Solitary thunder is all about mobility and instant cast single target burst damage. Cleansing Flame Rune-keepers rely more on damage over time compared to their lightning counterparts. The healing Rune-keeper, Benediction of Peace, prefers healing over time and damage reducing abilities like re-directs and bubbles. Bilbo and Frodo New Birthday Celebration https://www.lotro.com/en/game/articles/bilbo-and-frodo%E2%80%99s-birthday-celebration The Update 11.4 release notes are now available. http://t.co/xRSbmy6tTT Mounted Combat Addressed a number of issues with movement controls on War-steeds.
