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