Returning player burg questions.

[Xalaron]

Just came back to the game after i think 5+ months away. I noticed my chars had talents reset and my burg even had a new skill on his bar, throw knife. So does the red line burg still play basically the same as before and are there any new skills besides throw knife? Does this new skill mean I cant get crafted throwing weapons anymore, which were useful for the corruption removal on some of them?

Also, any chance theres any new gear types for the burg, like did the signals or w/e the burgs ranged weapon slot item was called get replaced or get stats comparable to other classes ranged item slot?

Yes, all classes had their trait trees reset a while ago, due to some reworking of how you could use them. (Now you can't get the cap stone traits from another tree anymore)

The throwing knife was added as a default ranged attack, but this does not change the use of crafted throwing hatchets etc.

Vastin is/was busy tweaking the burglar; see this thread on the lotro forum: https://www.lotro.com/forums/showthread.php?670928-Burglar-Tweaks

But for now the burglar is more or less the same as it was; underpowered, and only yellow burglars are needed in raids.
