Thread: Need Stat and gear review

My kin imploded prior to RoI coming out and I took a 7 month hiatus and have been back for a month or so now trying to play catch up. I do not plan on raiding until RoR comes out so the raid gear is out of the question for me. So I am attemptimg to get the Moors set or a mix of them. Could you all review my stuff and tell me of any other items that are out there that I can obtain in a 3 man or less group. I have on more piece for the PvP armor and that is the Jacket of Precision, and I know my jewlry is atrocious and that is where most of my short comings are coming from. It appears that crafted jewlry is not what it used to be... least I have not found any recpices for my jewler yet that is better.

Thanks

Stats

AGI is 1328
Vit 829
Crit 5949
physical Mastery 17460
Physical Mitigation 5211
Moral 5966
Power 2133

I know not the best but for a months worth of work I am kinda proud of it. Any adivce appreciated

Do skirmish raids, they're easier then 3mans and drop better stuff.

great river crafted is good, limlight jewelery set is good too.

From a post I used before:

1800 Agility
600 Vitality
200-400 Will (Will will become low, it is the diminishing returns of high agility)
300-400 Fate (again low)
There is no point in powering might any more, so it is not inclusive.

7000 Morale
3000 Power
4500-5000 Armour
3000-4000 Finesse
6000+ Critical

Physical Mastery: 25,000 - 30,000
Physical Mitigation:4,000-6,000
Tactical Mitigation: 4,000-6,000

Several hunters are running around with 2,200+ agility, and 33,000+ Mastery, but to achieve this you would require to run Orthanc Tier 2, Skirmish Raids, and the new instance in the Great River.

I do not choose my set as a perfect example, but it's better than nothing: http://my.lotro.com/home/character/firefoot/zalladi/

I guess stat preference is all matter of opinion, some people like running 2000 agility and 7000-7500 morale, others like ~2200 agility and 6000-6500 morale and some like pushing it to 2400+ agility and ~5000-5500 morale, it just depends on what you are doing and what you are comfortable with. if you are doing more solo stuff, then maybe a higher morale and lower agility suits you better, if you are grouping with a solid tank and healer, then you can sacrifice some morale for more damage/agility.

Personally, I like keeping my morale in the 6000-6200 range, and power at ~2500, everything else gets dumped into crit/mastery and agility. I like keeping my crit and master on a 1:3 ratio, so if I have 6000 crit, I want to have at least 18000 mastery, I currently sit about 10000 crit and 30000 mastery (but again, with items out of your reach per your OP, so I'll digress).

Here is a great list of shineys that are available for Hunters:

http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.p...-Tier-Gear-2.0

The "Impossible Shot" 4-piece set (minus the helm and shoulders) can be had from simply running 3/6 mans, with the 6-man foundry netting the best overall "barter currency" for your time, if you have a solid group that is... The Helm and Shoulders are restricted to the 12-man raid which is very very easy and is being downed by even casual kin's, if you happen to join one before RoR.

as mentioned above, there are also a BUNCH of really nice gear from 12-man skirmishes, so if you can even get into a casual but active kin that runs daily raid skirmishes, and weekly (or more) Draigoch raid runs, then you will be set!

To the OP--> These are good stats to shoot for if you are a non-raider.

Why so little finesse? Are you using Combat Analysis? Trust me, finesse makes a big difference for Orthanc bosses. Maybe you are not talking about raids with this build? If you're talking about landscape mobs and stuff, then why finesse at all? Maybe I'm just off my rocker or am not following your direction. Apologies if not.

With all the new gear, top end hunters can pretty easily sit above 7k morale unbuffed and still hit 2400 agility pretty easily, heck even 2500+.
