Human nature does not change. The LOTRO community is not made of of saints. Part of the reason we have a better community, is because the game, at present, does not encourage elitist epeening...

You need at least 2 stones - one healing and one dps. Many people have 3- healing, fire and lightning.

So, for your healing stone, you need +Heal, +HoT, and -Heal Cost. You need both +Heal and...

I feel RKs need a bit of extra utility while healing.

My thought is that they could reduce the power cost and damage of Writ of Cold so that it is a relatively cheap debuff we can use while...

tag for future reference ... someone should sticky this

The Devs seem to be overreacting to the forum whines about RKs from Hunters/Minstrels/Creeps/etc. In responce, they have both weakened RKs, and strengthened Hunters and Minstrels. Minstrels will...

I believe that the 10% nerf to MV heal and the 35% increase in its cost did bring us slightly below Minstrels in overall healing effectiveness. The slight buffs to their healing will make the...

That is the problem. An optimal 6-man group will never choose an RK unless there is no Hunter or Minstrel available (and what is the likelihood of no Hunter available, lol). A raid may choose to...

After we were nerfed, it was not expected.

Before our nerf, RKs and Minis were basically equal in healing. We healed differently, but were equally effective. Then, we were nerfed (healing...

Exactly. Expect to see this a lot:

"full group looking for Minstrel to heal"
"I am a RK specced for healing, can I come"
"we are going to see if we can get a Mini, they make things so much...

I hope that is true. Based on our update, however, I am afraid our Dev (unlike the Mini Dev), is not interested in giving us new "exciting, dynamic, useful skills".

The mini Dev believes the...

Considering the upcoming minstrel buffs, coupled with the recent RK nerfs, there is no doubt that Minstrels will be prefered over RKs for healing slots. Groups will bring a RK healer if, and only...

After our recent polish, Champs pump out more dps than RKs. We have other utility, but Champs are better at pure dps. If you want to dps and not heal, and prefer to be in melee range, then Champ is...

With slicked back hair, your elf probably looks like a bit like K.D. Lang.

What were you fighting? I believe penetrate resist will be more and more effective the higher the mobs level is above yours.

The best solution is to use a modified skirmish soldier set-up as mentioned above. I would start the legendaries at level 50, and make it so they "grow with you".

I am hoping they do something...

It is pretty simple ...

If you want to play a male, pick dwarf - since all of them look male.

If you want to play a female, pick elf - since all of them look female.

After the patch, Healing is a bit harder in long battles due to the increase power cost of Mending Verse. Even with the changes, Epic for the Ages is not a safe heal to use in most cases with its...

It will be somewhat difficult to play around with it, since you have to be in combat for the buff to proc.

He probably could have said that the bug fixes and MoW were the only good things.

The Fire 4-trait is decent, but nothing amazing. The rest of the changes were worthless, or made us weaker.

I was about to post something similiar. Most dps classes in LOTRO can push a few buttons and solo even level content. DPS RKs become more interesting to play in group content, or against above...

I think the best solution would be to make LIs work like skirmish soldiers - with one exception. It should be very difficult, if not impossible, to change the legacies after you have chosen them.
...

I have Penetrate on my Stone and use the trait, and still feel I am resised a lot more when I use the Lightning Chisel. My guess is that I feel that way because that is what I expect to see. Humans...

It really depends on what you are doing.

If you don't really care about the numbers, but like the glowing blue hands, you will like the changes. If you solo against even level non-elites most...

It is based on time. If you go into a low level area, get into combat and turn your back on the mob so you won't auto attack, you can time the procs as you stand there.

I believe they stated it...

I haven't quit, but I don't log in as much. Having to level a Fire LI to raid is not something I want to think about.

On top of that, being mislead and treated like I am stupid does not engender...
