...Wow, that certainly is lucky on the staff, grats!<br /><br />I was already thinking about writing something about LM armour sets (inspired by Supergirl's RK armour set post), and now you mention it as well... this definitely will be something on my to-do list. Can't promise anything soon, can't reach LotRO at the moment and these sort of posts cost the most time to make, but thanks for the nudge. :)Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-86575497763589797092013-03-28T10:40:18.507+01:002013-03-28T10:40:18.507+01:00Very true.

In fact, have only just managed to get a 2nd age staff and book, and that was through marks/medallions + crafting.<br /><br />The staff ended up being pretty damn good, with only one legacy replacement. Need to generate plenty more marks and do dailies so I can upgrade the legacies I do have to free up some points.<br /><br />The book, on the other hand would be good for AM traiting. Which is a pain, since I'm 5 red at present (one each blue/yellow). Good armour too, but heavy on the critical and light on finesse. Not that I have too many problems with that :)<br /><br />I seem to recall someone asking for a post about recommended armors and whatnot. That would be a good thing methinks.

Bane Flare can certainly be useful as well, but so far everything is already dead before I would have to resort to it. As I said, it's a choice of personal playstyle.<br /><br />I do agree that Inner Flame isn't such a useful skill (I never trait it either). It's situational, just like Bane Flare Targets. The reason it's on my book is because it profits from the higher Tactical Healing rating, while Bane Flare Targets does not.<br /><br />In this article, I tried to name priority legacies that I think everyone should aim for. The other, more situational legacies are debatable. I rather leave those for everyone to fill in themselves.Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-52507044104501019242013-02-20T13:34:45.353+01:002013-02-20T13:34:45.353+01:00Well, the content we have now is so easy that LM d...Well, the content we have now is so easy that LM doesn`t really need a second book. :)<br />But baneflare can still be very useful in Helegrod or that survival skirmish.

I've been thinking about why this is, and I think the answer simply is that it isn't needed that frequently. It is incidentally useful in raids, and perhaps for soloing hard content (I haven't done this in a while). When I'm soloing, I'm always traited down the MoNF line, and it's less useful then. In my opinion, this is typically a legacy one will choose based on personal playstyle and preferences.Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-26913435687510664952013-02-19T02:08:04.689+01:002013-02-19T02:08:04.689+01:00I wonder, if your support book setup has changed t...I wonder, if your support book setup has changed to include +baneflare targets legacy?<br /><br />Also, Lightning Storm/Ents damage is very useful for PvMP, where burst damage is always in high demand.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-11902541591274092252012-08-29T01:53:59.917+02:002012-08-29T01:53:59.917+02:00Glad to be of help!Glad to be of help!Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-74055350370500304862012-08-23T17:29:57.731+02:002012-08-23T17:29:57.731+02:00I dig it.

I'm also like you in that regard: I deal damage in raids at the moments I don't have any support to do, but then I just swap to my DPS staff for those skills mid-fight. The majority of the time, I will still benefit from the extra defence of my support gear. <br /><br />I'm so happy with my staff too! I haven't had our majors on any first age staff since Moria, so it was such a relief! From the stories I hear, I'll be using this staff faaar into Riders of Rohan - seems the DPS on LI's won't scale that much at all.Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-18014856151047595792012-08-22T10:34:21.414+02:002012-08-22T10:34:21.414+02:00The best LI post I've ever read! :)

I also haven't been able to find a level 75 staff with such awesome passives! So for me this was the right call, and I think it proves that age and level is less important for a support staff (to a certain extent). Remember that will/tact mastery stats aren't as important for a support lore-master compared to a rune-keeper (lore-masters basically only use two skills in raids that are affected by it).<br /><br />Indeed, all rating based legacies scale with level (and age, btw), regardless of for which class they are. I have tried to collect some of these values and search for a pattern, if you're interested (very nerdy stuff, though):<br /><br />http://lotro-wiki.com/index.php/User:Ravanel/Sandbox3<br /><br />http://lotro-wiki.com/index.php/Talk:Finesse_Rating<br /><br />http://lotro-wiki.com/index.php/Talk:Target_Shocking_Touch_Resist_Rating<br /><br />If you have some missing values, feel free to add them! :)Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-10809834320112915462012-08-21T19:55:54.185+02:002012-08-21T19:55:54.185+02:00Oh very nice post.

I'm sure Loremasters are going to enjoy this one. :) I love the LI names!<br /><br />You mention the use of a level 65 staff... in addition to not having some of the better relics available to slot on it, the "Stat Legacies" act differently also. Those +22s for each stat on a level 65 3rd Age will be +41s for a level 75 2nd Age (it happens automatically when stat legacies are applied to higher level LIs). <br /><br />It is a minor-ish thing, but as you know, coupled with the lesser relics and possibly lesser LI titles, it will start to feel outdated at higher levels.<br /><br />Are some of the other legacies, like book's "target resistance" different for different levels also? (I notice that RK's Finesse and Shocking Touch legacies have very different modifiers for lvl 65 vs 75.)<br /><br />Exiciting times, full speed ahead!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764325443772045452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-68131885357888182822012-08-21T19:21:06.552+02:002012-08-21T19:21:06.552+02:00thanks for posting this! very timely as my lore-ma...thanks for posting this! very timely as my lore-master is currently rocketing through Dunland (now lvl 64 :O) and I was about to start researching LIs :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
