I have compiled a few suggestions/wish-list items for the upcoming level 100/105 caps on the Legendary servers. These suggestions pertain to content/gear gaps for the newer Brawler/Mariner classes, and to trivial loot/reward tables for PvE content. Many players find 100-105 to be one of the most rewarding and rich pieces of content and these changes would add further depth and completion to the newer classes, would help create longevity in content by detrivialising rewards and create a sense of more complete gear progression at these level caps. These positive changes would affect current legendary servers, the live game, and future legendary servers. These changes would be straightforward and non-contentious, and would massively enrich brilliant pieces of content.
1. Add level 100 Gondor class essences for Brawler and Mariner. Essences were never retroactively added for these classes.
Suggestion: for ease, rescale level 140 essences to level 100 versions (see https://lotro-wiki.com/wiki/Essences_(Class-specific)_Index).
2. Implement Big Battles jewellery for Mariner as sets were never added for the class.
Suggestion: set bonuses could include -5s Wind Shanty cooldown, -5s Pot Skills cooldown, 5% Swordplay Damage, 10% chance on hit: +5% Critical Chance.
3. Reimplement set bonuses for the Osgiliath armour (drops from Ruined City, Sunken Labyrinth and Dome of Stars). Set bonuses were removed years ago because players were using these sets at higher level caps as the sets scaled to instance level. This change essentially killed the content, as it made running these instances pointless, as the rewards became trivial. These sets are STILL in the game - they were just removed from loot tables.
Suggestion: only allow sets with bonuses to drop from level 100 Osgiliath instances (much like how only level 65 Ost Dunhoth/Barad Guldur drop 65 items). The set bonuses should have a level cap of 105. Being greedy, I’d also ask for Mariner sets to be introduced as these don’t exist currently.
4. In the same vein as above, reimplement set bonuses from the level 105 Silent Street, Blood of the Black Serpent, and Quays of Harlond instances. These were removed from the loot tables for the same reason as above and again, has made running these instances pointless given the trivial rewards.
Suggestion: only allow sets with bonuses to drop from the level 105 version of the instances (much like how only level 65 Ost Dunhoth/Barad Guldur drop 65 items). The sets bonuses should have a level cap of 119 (as other 105 sets have). Being greedy, I’d also ask for Mariner sets to be introduced as these don’t exist currently.
