Best class

[koolaid]

Hey so Im new ans was just wondering what was a decent class to pick. Im usually fine with picking any class but I saw a patch that looked like it changed alot of things and wanted to ask some other people what they though.

Honestly just pick what attracts you more, don't worry about the difficulty scale, you'll learn as you play.

was thinking about picking champion so ima just go with that

Sure. It's a simple one and can always serve as a melee DPS in group content.

You know I have played all classes. They all have their place. I love to play the burglar when I am feeling antisocial...just sneaking around lol

There isn't a super strict meta endgame for the classes. People are generally more relaxed about that sort of thing in LOTRO except for a minor hardcore population. With how much server performance issues there are at the moment, server-side issues, it's almost impossible to get accurate parses anyway.

So, if you're worried about whether or not a class is viable for endgame, don't be. 99% don't care so play what you want in terms of class fantasy, what mechanics you like and what you think is cool.

If you are a solo player though, Hunter is the top pick purely because of the all the perks they get like tracking and being able to teleport around. With clever use of their crowd control abilities they can pull off things that other classes can't, combat-wise. Beorning is a good class for solo if you just want to be able to lazily face tank a lot solo without having to fear and trap things because they have one of the strongest heals in the game that makes all solo content laughable if you use it on cooldown, even in their DPS spec.

There is no best class.
