Learning LOTRO: Lesson Forty - Warden Class

 

In this series, I talk about various aspects of The Lord of the Rings Online. This series is meant for newcomers, but may also help veteran players find more to love about the game.

It's time for the tenth and final class-focused entry in the series! Today we get to talk about the Warden class! (Finally. Sorry for such a lengthy delay, friends.) Available to elves, men and hobbits, this class is based on Haldir, the marchwarden of Lothlórien, and his brothers Rúmil and Orophin. I had to, of course, end the class entries as I had begun them -- as an elf. This class was introduced with the Mines of Moria expansion, and otherwise costs 795 Points in the LOTRO Store, even for VIPs.

This class is labeled as Advanced with good reason! If you are not the sort of gamer who enjoys stringing combos together and remembering what those combos do in the middle of combat -- or often several actions in advance -- then this is not a class for you. It's noted in the LOTRO wiki that "the Warden's gameplay mechanics owe a debt to Tekken as much as to any Elf-lord." 

Per the established method, the theme this time was "grey" and "space," so I used Welsh to come up with Serenniwil, or literally "star fog." Don't look at me like that. I think it works just fine!

The following is a basic summary of the creation process and some of the things you'll encounter when you start out in LOTRO with a Warden and/or Elf.
