LotRO: Champion solos Ivar the Blood-Hand

Me on my champion soloing Ivar the Blood-Hand. Never got below 50% morale and did not use Dire need or Eldar's Grace. I wear annuminas armour set with the Angmar sets heavy helmet. Forgot to pop hope before the fight, so I do that a little late. Seriously, this fight was way easier then I would have thought. Enjoy the movie!

Typo in credits. Second song by "All That Remains" is called "We Stand" and the album is "The Fall of Ideals"

Not weird you soloed him, you are lvl 50 and he is 33 or 32 or something. I play LOTRO and Ivar is not hard in high lvl.

@HMovies1 look at the date this was posted, its old, Ivar has been significantly nerfed since then. It used to be a 6 man, now its a 3 man. Yes he is easy now.

In which lvl u are able to defeat him? cause im lvl 35 and connot even kill those normal signature brigants who wonder around Garth Agarwen.. and I cant find this place where Ivar lies, i go exactly on the ring marker of the map but theres nothing there. wierd.. the place has nothing to do with this place on the video, but the marker tells me to go there =/

@McLovin123ify You have to remember that this video is over 2 years old now, the instance has since been revamped. The whole intro on how to get there without a key is irrelevant now as the instance is now divided up in sections. The section with Ivar starts where I open the gate. Ivar was also scaled down from being a 6 man boss to a 4 man boss, so he is also easier now. But then again the whole combat system was changed, so who knows if its easier or harder? But at lvl 65 it should be easy.

So, Do you guys think that a champion is better than a hunter or vis versa? Since both are dual wield bow using classes except hunters use more stealth than strength and champions use heavy armor.

Haha Just give me your opinions.

[PsychoT1m]

@wiirocks117 Obviously Im gonna say champion :p. And heres why: The champion is versatile. He can Single Target DPS, AoE DPS and Tank. Due to his high power regen from his stances he can sustain his DPS constantly through out the fight. Hunters have ST burst DPS (over time I believe the champions sustained DPS will out perform them) and limited CC. Champions FTW!

I miss when it was a 6man instance >:(

How'd you enable the skill bars on the right??

[helvijs100]

is this is GA: barrows?

[vikingdrizzit]

its funny but i havent heard of anyone who has actually beat ivar at lvl since it became a 3 man,, even though he is weaker

Ivar used to be a nemesis when I first got the quest. I def couldnt solo it as a guardian.

I tried it multiple times with no luck between lvls 30-45. I tried it at lvl 50 and he was all of a sudden, an elite master. I had no idea the game changed anything. He was so easy... the elite mobs and the rare elite master that you have to fight before Ivar were harder. I barely got any xp from him.

@PsychoT1m I wouldn't say he was easy. The instance tops out as a level 34. A level 40 champ and captain teamed with a level 53 ministrel could still barely bring him down. Granted, equipment wasn't the best though.

@vilyacreep glad im a rk :) you?

@PsychoT1m Thought it was parry...
