LOTRO Captain Combat Selection

Watch in HD! A brief combat scene with my Captain fighting Fire Grims in the Flaming Deeps in Lord of the Rings Online. Taken to illustrate the nice effects that these mobs produce when using certain special skills. I particularly like the flaming ethereal dragon.

Is a captain good for solo level up?

[Jaxom922]

@Sirumakato It's not bad. Because a captain's DPS isn't as strong as a hunter or champion, he will take longer to kill mobs, and thus level a bit more slowly than those two classes. But he's not as slow as a Minstrel. The nice thing about a captain is that he has a few "oh crap!" skills that can get him out of trouble, especially at the later levels. I found soloing with my cappy quite enjoyable.

@Jaxom922

Ah I see.

Though I seen people using two hander weapons and some dual wield.

Which is your prefer choice?

[Jaxom922]

@Sirumakato Two-handed. Captains can have some of the highest crit damage in the game, so anything to accentuate that is good. The higher peak damage of two-handers is perfect for this. But it does mean you attack slower, and a captain already isn't the best dps-er. Halberds (the best peak damage in the game) are the slowest, so it's a trade off.

Ok and by the way are you playing the free version of LOTRO?

[Jaxom922]

@Sirumakato No. I'm a premium player. And this video was taken before LOTRO went FTP.

@TeahupooChan A captain is a support class, excelling most in group situations, particularly with their buffs. He is a jack of all trades, so he can fulfill many rolls, but do none of them as well as the primary class for that roll would. A champion is a melee DPS class with some AOE thrown in. A guardian fulfills the tank roll in the "holy trinity" setup (tank, healing, dps).
