    Cool Mage DPS class

    Will the Developers of Lotro make a Magic DPS class so Lore-Master don't have to fight tooth and nail to make there Creator more powerful. I mean a hunter is of course OP(if you play him right) so I mean why not? A magic DPS class would make a great edition to Lotro.

    Rune keepers are very powerful mages, like the others said before. The best thing about them is that you can be a great dpser or a powerful healer. If you tried a rune keeper and didn't like it, Lotro may not be the game for you. Try a sorcerer in Aion. In end game pvp armor, they can 1 shot an opponent.

    Re: Mage DPS class

    Runekeeper may be the class you're looking for - but LotRO really shouldn't be looking for a mage DPSer. There is a requirement (as part of the license) to stick within reasonable lore grounds, and a WOW-Style mage would pretty quickly breach it.

    There are enough alternative fantasy games (which I also enjoy from time-to-time) - not least DDO, also by Turbine - without losing sight of the fact that LotRO is a Middle Earth MMO. That means no teleporting wizards, no paladins, no clerics, and no flying mounts. Ever. It's just not that game.

    They're called Rune-Keepers. Enjoy.

    Re: Mage DPS class

    As some of the other posters stated, Turbine created the Mage DPS class called the Rune Keeper as an alternative to the Hunter DPS class in 2008. I doubt we get anything more direct damage mage that the RK. This IP does not have any lore basis in the Third Age for a traditional nuker Mage like what is found in other games. This IP is not a high fantasy or high magic. The most powerful magical artifact in existence looks like a plain gold ring that you give your spouse at a wedding ceremony.


    Unless stated otherwise, all content in this post is My Personal Opinion.

    I hope not. As much as I love D&D, and I've played that for 30 years, this is not Dungeons and Dragons.
    Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, totally worn out & proclaiming "WOW, what a ride!"
    Civ II rules after all these years......
