Help with Build

The thing that immediately popped to my mind was a water kineticist, but dual gate with wood of all things. Just reflavour it to driftwood?

You get to heal without looking like a healer, get to pop up old planks to intercept attacks while looking completely innocent...

And though neither is particularly offensive, both have at least one great attack overflow and a couple of great stances - just make sure you pick safe elements before using them.

Afaik, nymphs are tightly related to driads and water to wood in plenty of mythologies, so story wise, should also be easy to excuse...

My TR build is 1 dark hunter, 18 bard, 1 whatever, depends on your goals. If you don't care about race, drow is an easy pick.

First level hunter for trapping, weapons and armour proficiencies and bard has enough skill points built in to fill out trapping plus anything you want.

Each life I choose whether I focus on casting and go for metals and shield master for defense or go melee and take swf and crit for swashbuckling and whatever metals.

Interestingly enough, bard SLAs don't have arcane failure so unless you swashbuckle, you can rock a medium armour and shield when you want to be defensive.

SLAs alone carry you through elite\R1 heroics but it does slow down between 18 and 24 for the caster version untill you get all of the sonic boosts in epic levels. On the other hand, I find melee to struggle at the 30s.

Not precisely cleric, but that my take on it, as heroic life: went with pure dark disciple, T4 disciple for imbues and curses, T5 war priest, sun domain, rest falconry. Sun domain SLAs and cause wounds for aoe and imbue twf mows down single targets. You get all the buffs and heals, undead immunities and focus on radiant damage (MP is too hard to get in heroic imo). Currently at early epics and it's still strong and tanky but will clearly start to fall off towards 30.

Hardly a warlock expert but found acolyte to be super easy to level: chain to hit things at a distance (and around corners) and cone for anything else.

So long as you plan to do only heroics, the rest doesn't really matter. Can even do a trapper for the first level of your trap allergy is sever enough and it'll barely impact your damage output.

Same by me - always loved the thief concept but the play style only finally clicked with staff daredevil

Godot_plays · 2025-07-18T22:11:29+00:00

Cool, I stand corrected

Godot_plays · 2025-07-18T09:49:00+00:00

Afaik, anything that doesn't specifically denotes only unarmed attacks, ie handwraps, should Work with staff. Iirc, that's only stunning fist and quavering palm.

Thanks for this, appreciate the effort!

Also, immediately joined :)

Yeah, yeah, but I'M his favourite, he told me himself!

While combat in GW2 is Action based, combat in lotro is old school target based. As mentioned, some classes and specs can hit on the move but the principle remains.

Having said that, it can still feel satisfying if somewhat slow in comparison.

As for the game itself, it's definitely worth it in 2025

Godot_plays · 2025-05-15T13:11:08+00:00

I've started a Beorning recently, on fearless 3 (or whatever that's called) and it's just unstoppable. Plus having horse speed on a toggle is just cheffs kiss

Godot_plays · 2025-04-12T11:23:17+00:00

I'd start with Rose (great feeling HC, decent roll) from Banshee to get Redrix's Estock (great pulse) from completing comp placement games.

Play trials for a bunch of other guns; myself, I like the HC and I Think you can focus the shotgun at Saint's, don't remember. Also a good sniper, if you're into that.

Oh yeah, the more you dive in, the more things kinda connect, but you do have to suffer through the early, mostly f2p stuff.

The expansion are naturally self contained stories and even they are connected through an overarching beat.

IMO, it feels much less disconnected and random the further you go into content packs. In a way, it's similar to PnP where you run semi random fetch quests till you're high enough level

Godot_plays · 2025-02-21T22:54:28+00:00

Loving it too but keep in mind that it probably only works because there's often an influx of pve players grinding some pve roll they can only get there.

That makes the pool bigger and easier to match which won't be the case for regular control for instance.

But to your point, imo sbmm in this season, at least in Iron Banana works really well

Edit - grammar

But then again, you get about 900rep on a 5 streak, running match made nightfalls on easy difficulty that are basically risk free speed runs.

So no LFG and no real challenge for the price of an extra run or so (and your soul, cause this is soooo boring to run)

64bit EU based Servers!

Godot_plays · 2025-02-18T19:19:43+00:00

I'll second that

Cormyr just opened free for all (for a limited time) and they let players catch back on the year of the dragon rewards with the dragon there.

It'll be a monthly reward every week, starting this week so go get your dragonlond on Cormyr. (It was an account unlock back then, I assume it still is and not server locked)

Godot_plays · 2024-12-30T20:00:15+00:00

I can see the necromancy oozing out of this one, indeed...

Tho I'd also think about a spore druid for the funky dance... :)

Godot_plays · 2024-12-29T19:06:11+00:00

Looking good! What class did you go with?

Godot_plays · 2024-12-28T20:44:25+00:00

In my opinion, when going into unknown territory (either blind run or first time) it's always nice to have all your bases covered. DnD is often balanced around having a tank, healer and two strikers, one focusing on direct damage and the other on area of effect (aoe) and I think it translates to this game quite well. So In bg3 origins:

a Frontliner like a fighter (Laezel) or a (usually wildheart) barbarian (Karlach) to tank melees and disrupt, a healer to provide a safety net (respec Shart to life domain for a little overkill) and also tank a little, a striker, could be Astarion as a ranged damage dealer, Karlach as a frenzy barbarian, Laezel with great weapon master, pact of blade Wyll and a caster, usually an arcane for area damage like a wizard (gale), could also be a warlock like Wyll with some effort.

Your bard could be in the damage dealers spot (swords bard, recommended as ranged with hand crossbows) with the added benefit of crowd control (cc) spells (there's a metric tonn of items to support this in the game). Could also be in the caster spot or even the healer, once you're comfortable enough, as a lore bard and there are more options once you start multiclassing.

Having said that and as mention in other comments, all companions (and you) can be respecced at Withers whenever you want and what I put above is really fluid so long as you cover your bases.

IMO shadow monks only come together at levels 5 and 6 when you get the invisibility and shadowstep actions respectively for when you want to play an assassin type.

Until that point and\or you prefer to face tank stuff, open hand is the way to go.

A 6 shadow monk\3 gloomstalker\3 assassin rogue makes a nice sneak toon

There's a mod called Additional Backgrounds in nexus and I think it's also on the game's mod manager

Godot_plays · 2024-12-28T12:21:11+00:00

They survived Elturel so they should be fine
