Lore-Master Guide

The Lore-Master is the casters on Lord of the Rings Online. They use magics and ancient knowledge to toss fireballs and other things similar. Since there are no playable “Wizards” You are forced to live with the Lore-Master. I'm not sure of what the difference actually is between the 2. They seem to have the same abilities.

The Lore-Master starts out with 3 abilities. The 1st of which is named “Burning Embers”. This ability allows you to deal a moderate amount of initial damage. The ability has a recourse though, after the initial damage has been dealt, it will do about ¼ that damage every 5 seconds for 10 seconds. That is not all this ability does, To top all of it of, this ability also slows the enemies movement. This is good for fleeing in a bad situation.

The 2nd ability is “Staff-Strike”. This is your standard Melee Attack. It will do your standard weapon damage + a small amount. I rarely use this, but it can be good for a last resort if you are out of power.

The 3rd ability is “Sign of Power: Command”. This ability cripples your enemy, it makes it a little bit easier to hit, while at the same time slowing their attacking speed so they hit 20% less. This is very useful for groups, and solo alike. Crippling the enemy to score less damage is invaluable in any situation.

In later levels you can get a pet ability called “Raven-Lore” Which will allow you to command a small bird. He is fairly weak, but he has a neat ability which allows him to lower the fire resistance of the enemy making him more susceptible to your “Burning Embers” attack.

You also get another ability which allows you to heal your fellowship, this heal takes a small amount of your health and power and give it to your target many times over. This is good for backup healing, it is not quite as good as the minstrels' heal but it is good to have around, just in case.

Summary

Lets wrap it up: The Lore-Master gets a very reliable fire based attack, which does a good amount of initial damage, and recourses to do 50% more damage. The second ability is your basic melee special, its generic, and I hardly use it. The third ability is the cripple which makes the enemy easier to hit as well as slowing their attack speed. You also get to command lesser beings, and get some moderate sized heals. They wear light armor, and do not progress to medium armor.
