Champions Tactics Guide For Playing Lotro
Fervour? ok lets start with that, a great toggle skill but also the bane of a badly played champ! dismissing all block/parry/evade chances in exchange for heavier damage and power regen. Personally I only have it turned off when acting as tank in liue of a guardian when in fellowships. When I’m out soloing I always have it on, why? because of that damage and power bonus! Kill it before it kills me ! So we have no parry evade or block if we use fervour! What can us champs do? Well, there’s a funky skill, commonly overlooked by higher level champs, Exchange of Blows is always the second button I press! the first being to ramp up the fervour for the first attack. Exchange of blows, although only doing little bits of damage per attack recieved, is damage…its what I call “a champions block/evade/parry” hah. Ok thats fervour covered, now what about weapons? (Note : You can use your LOTRO Gold for some powerful weapons ) Always use weapons that your race gets a bonus with via traits. Personally I like swords anyway so i am bias in that regard. Use 2 handed swords/axes for when in a fellowship and you are the damage dealer, and dual wield when you are soloing, ofcourse sometimes its more viable to use the other way around depending on what the weapon stats are. Bows, great for pulling when you’re on your own, and for any additonal bonuses that bow might have! However, always unequip it when you are in a fellowship doing elites etc. because you will get pauses when fighting/moving where you are just out of melee range! NOT GOOD! Ok now the triky one - Shields, I personally have always carried a shield just incase I need to cut and run, I do not have the heavy shield trait equipped, it is a wast of a trait slot in my opinion, however I do keep a crit\’ed high end shield on me for those moments where you really do need to get that boost of armour and run like the clappers. i really do not think that a champion should sacrifice dual wield or 2handed for no reason, I class a shield as my extra Sudden Defence. Adding block while I run from the big nasty trolls Hope this guide would give you some help ! Article Directory: http://www.articledashboard.com |
