I have recently been playing Lord of the Rings Online. I love it so far. I am enjoying the aspect that I can't go out and raise hell on everything in my path. If I want to solo quests, I have to be smart, play hard, and accept a death here and there. Reminds me of the old days of EQ.
I have a few questions. I am a level 14 Elf Lore Master, I've been playing for over 2 weeks. Yes I know, pathetic, but with a full time job, Counter Strike Source Team to run, family, and friends, it's hard to find time.
I am wondering what my primary role as a lore-master will be, I chose it because I always envy'd wizards direct damage critical attack abilites, and the ability to blast creatures into oblivion. I have direct damage and damage over time spells, which I am enjoying. I have found myself to be able to cast burning embers on mobs, which slows them down, and sic my pet on them whilst kiting the mob around to chase me. I only do this on higher level mobs which I cannot take the melee damage from. Is this an effective way to solo at higher levels?
Will my pet be able to tank well at higher levels if I decide I'd just like to farm and solo? What stats should I be concentrating on?
I cannot wait to get from work and play this game! :)
Thank you in advance for all replys.
