Your class guides have been a big part of my LOTRO experience over the last few years as I drift in and out of the game (due to irl interruptions). Thank you as always for your content!
This guide is super helpful as i just came back after a near 5 year hiatus to see how much the game has changed. Instanly started a hobbit champion as soon i saw that was a thing now (love the idea of a beserk little farmer) and decided yellow line would be smart for leveling. Glad to see this game still has an awesome community and people are still producing useful guides for new/returning players
After spending 60 hours in this game and playing every class to 20 champion has been the most fun next to burgler… sneaky boy and just group destroying mad man is just awesome
Just throwing it out there in case someone late to the party like me knows the answer: I’m going for Sweeping Riposte in the blue line but there’s a line in the skill description that worries me, “this skill requires a parry event.” Louey seemed to imply you can use it whenever, is this a new thing, will I only be able to use this when I parry someone? I don’t play blue line, so maybe I’m just misunderstanding it. Thanks for any help
Recently got my Champ to 140 and keep hearing that Yellow Champ makes more single-target dmg than red champ at the time. Is this true? Not really seeing it as I'm finding way smoother rotation in red than in yellow. So I'm only using yellow if I'm fighting 2+ enemies right now.
Yellow champ is superior in AoE and single-target. search up Moskin's Yellow Champ rotation. on youtube. thats the rotation i use for yellow champ and its really good. the highest i have gotten with it on a dummy is 433k
@@dassonntagskind you have more Cooldowns in Yellow and you still get the most important skills from Red line while in yellow. like Brutal/Ferocious strikes and controlled burn. basically you get the best of both red and yellow if you go yellow line.
@@Flash4ML Uhh, these days? Idk, previously you would go red line specifically for the sprint uptime. It required a mix of talents and sprint duration/evasion trace for 58s duration and 60s cd giving nigh perma sprint.
@@moosecat00 Gotcha. I see the red line cooldown reduction and the tracery, but by my count that only gets you to a 1 minute cooldown with 48 sec duration, from the baseline of 15 seconds. Is a “talent” something I’m missing out on, extra 10 seconds sprint duration?

Excellent information - thank you Louey for the detailed analysis! Now for a red line champ guide .....

either champion or rune keeper are my favorite class :)
Watching as I am questing through Moria on my Hunter alt :D
I play on a Legendary Server on Landscale Difficulty 3, and I can tell you I need all 3 points of the self-heal.
How big is the difference in yellow 2h, verse yellow dual wielding, I personally enjoy 2h Big chonky numbers more, but enjoy aoeing things :)
Generally, 2H is better for all Champ specs, especially after you get your LIs
@@Louey7 Really? I always heard it was dual wielding for yellow, and 2h for Red ( And if I play blue im a horrible person ) hahahaha

@@Mistweaver88 Thanks for that, checked it out, very interesting. What is the main reason for more single-target damage in yellow right now?

No perma sprint really hurt my exp per hour.
Can you actually get sprint to be active permanently? My main is a hunter, I love my champ but I always miss the hunter’s run speed lol

@@Flash4ML Probably not, it's been a while so either I misremembered or it got nerfed.
