Thread: For the solo moors RKs, whaddya doing?

I am currently not kindred with either Lim or Stan, and have not beaten Saruman just to give you an idea where I am at with armor. I got the pvp lightning shoes. Jewelry I am in a pretty good place. Will make the 2nd River earring today. The rep stuff is not eciting. for those that can't get access to the River earring, the rep earring would be the next best thing it seems? Hoping to get the bracer from Roots and see what that does but with the Warg dps the way it is right now, every point of morale matters.

Put a new satchel together. Got very lucky so I have everything I want (shocking touch chance and -resist, CA dmg, SS dmg, WoH and WoF). On my satchel I put all the points into tact. healing and WoH, and on my stone I put as many pts as I could into healing over time, probably a no brainer but I wanted to throw that out there. It's not slotted yet, i'll do the crafted relic tonight and I went with the T8 rune with tactical mastery on it instead of the rune of the two trees, I'll lose some morale but can swap a jewelry piece to stay flat versus where I am now on morale and will be net + on damage I think. I could always pull it back out if need be and put the 2 trees one back in.

For the moors would you go with CR cooldown or -resist on Shocking? I went with -resist because I figure if that skill misses, especially after being pounced you are done, at least I am most times I need that to hit. I also figured in a solo fight although you will be stunning several times.....CR you are really only going to use once if you even get the chance. The fights are still really fast and in a solo fight the opp. to use CR is really not there. After that first stun, which for me is usually ST in order to get some distance I am going for a big hit. In fact the only time I even use CR in a solo fight is after ST if that even sticks long enough for me to get enough distance to get it off before they are back on me. Imo there just isn't enough opportunity to stand still long enough to cast that in a solo fight.

Running between 8 and 8.3k morale. TM varies from about 21.2 ish to just over 22 depending on what jewelry piece I might swap in. I got the lightning boots, will def get one more of the lightning set for the 2 piece bonus, not sure what after that.

Would love to hear where others are at and what their plan is.

I'm rolling the new empowered sage ring and empowered menders earring. Sarchol Cloak and new craftable pocket item with vitality, physical, and tactical mitigation.

3 pieces of Audacity Armour and the rest of it Orthanc armour. I plan on going with a full audacity set (prolly mix and match to maximize necessary stats and for go some of the bonuses.

Currently at 8.2k health, 7.2k power, 40% tactical mitigation, 40% common mitigation, 24k tactical mastery. 6k crit rating.

Seems to be a pretty good build for solo or grouped in the moors.

Tried to look at your build, can only see a couple of things and it does not look as though you are wearing what you normally would anyway based on what I see. Hopefully it works itself out.

Yea,

My lotro doesn't always update stuff correctly on logout.

I might have swaped stuff around before i logged off as well.

I really want to see that build. That morale with the mit and the mastery is extremely nice.

Sorry had to go home in order to screenshot this. You probably need to zoom in to see the numbers.

If you don't mind, on the left from top to bottom could you tell me what you have slotted in spots 1,4,6,7,8? I know I have seen that one earring but cannot remember the name, not the careworn, the other one.

Assuming the cloak is Sarchol?

Thank you for posting this btw, love getting new ideas.

Quite a nice build, I´m interested in the Relics you use (especially, are you using attack duration runes?)

Guessing from what I can see, I think your using the Rep Bracelet (92 Will/61 Vita/~300 Crit) and Ring (92 Will/~300 Morale/~300 Tact. Mastery)

I´d probably go for Root Poisoner´s Bracelet (126 Will/32 Vita/169 Morale/336 Crit) and a Splendid Resolute Green Garnet Bracelet (in total -300 Tact Mastery, +600 Crit, +~150 Morale compared to yours), I´d switch Careworn Earring for Empowered Anduin Sage´s Earring (a bit more Morale and 300 Crit, Set bonus (+31 will) will make up for the loss of ~300 Tact. Mastery)
Maybe also the Mender´Ring (-~150 Morale, +~600 Tact. Mastery)

I´m still missing the Root Poisoner´s Bracelet and Sarchol before I can post a complete build

wow, NICE...HACKER lol how can you get all that..Also, lighting set or heal or fire?

After some calculation going 4 Lightning along with Fire Gloves and Pants is my favorite build. It give a nice chunk of morale, good offence and crit and 3k Finesse (compared to full Lightning it´s +366 Morale, +352 Offence, -352 Crit)

You can go for higher offence build with either less morale or Finesse

However since we´ve only got one good Ring and no Necklace with Finesse, I don´t want to build for less

4 Lightning allows for a quick switch of the fifth piece before EoS when fighting WLs/Defilers

Im using this:
Boots, legs, gloves, tunic and shoulder new pvp set. (audacity is 6 now);
I got -45% cc, -25% dmg, -19% power cost.

im using rings of pvp, earrings of great river, pocket great river, draigoch cape.

i got 1100 vitality and 1200 will, my morale is 8.200 now.

well, with this build if u stack 4 storm damage, ice writh is insta cast and if u crit essence of storm, essence of winter is insta cast

so a lot of damage and debuf for pvp...
when server comes up i post my pic

I use 4 of the lightning armour pieces for the shocking words extra stun chance + the 67 vitality and 2 of the the fire armour pieces for the extra tactical offence. IMO the 5 set bonus on the lightning set is a waste.
I also use all the sage/healing jewellery pieces I can get from the Great River barterer to increase my will, and thereby my tac mastery. It really bursts your dps when using these pieces.

Edit: typo

Nice build, I´m interested in your Migitations and what Relics you use

Will post mine once I got the Relics I want

Can you link your virtues and Lis also? and mitigation would be cool also :3

I still cant uderstand how can you get that morale and power when i cant even get that much offence!!! lol

I currently run around solo in the moors with 6.4k moral 8.2k power 7.5k crit and 28.5k tact. mastery. This set-up works quite well with me i am pulling off 6 to 7k ec crits and around 8k devs on rank 10 creeps higher if their below rank 5 pretty regularly. which i burn them down fast enough that way i don't need the higher moral pool granted if i get about 3+ wargs on me i am gone most of the time before i can even get up lol, but i can usually take on about 2 creeps more if i crit a lot in the fight.

After a whole evening of 1vs1s at Good LC, I thought I´d share my opinion:

We are OP, extremly OP, after some time it got to the point of me becoming a rezz-dummy because most Creeps didn´t want to 1vs1 me anymore

I fought almost all classes (most ranked between 6 and 9, with store skills)
Basicly the only class that can win a 1vs1 against a RK is a Warg, still that fight is in favour of RK (in fact I only lost against 1 Warg - our fight were 50/50 - who also won against several Minstrels and had Audacity 7)
Also I didn´t use pots (also no stun pots) or consumables in these fights

My build was something like:
7,9k Morale
8k Power
26k Tact. Mastery
7,5k Crit
4,8k Finesse
7,4k Tact. Migitation
Audacity 5

After a lot of work on my build, I thought it´s ready to share
Still some small tweaks to do (still have to get the Root Poisoner´s Bracelet and the LIs need some Empowerment Scrolls)




Any comments and ideas are welcome

Would you mind posting your LIs?

Look at his Crit Defence

He´s definitly wearing 2 Gems of Hope (Morale, Power, Crit Defence) - if my math is correct one T7 (280 Crit Defence, 263 Morale, 243 Power) and one T6 (260 Crit Defence, 230 Morale, 210 Power) and two old Crit Defence Runes - probably Subtle Rune of the Crags (250 Crit Defence, 200 Morale, 150 Power)

And with his Morale level the only possible Setting is Morale + Mastery x2

How much you have tact mit and which of the sets is that?

O! and Why linnod of peace over confounding principles? Must be personal opinion, but i just like to daze the warg who pounced me for 10s...:P

Tact. Mit is almost capped, between 38% and 39%
I´m using 4 Lightning and Fire Gloves and Pants

Linnod of Peace over Confounding Principles as the 5 additional seconds are only 2,5sec anyway with Audacity 7 and 5% Evade is 5% less damage + 5% incoming Healing helps too

And I´m not a fan of going into melee if it isn´t necessary

Late reply, but wanted to say you're spot on
