Ranking The Best Classes in LOTRO for the NEW Legendary Servers, Angmar & Mordor (2024)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.พ. 2025
- It's time to rank the best classes for facing wraiths, Nazguls and even orc assassins in MMO RPG, Lord of the Rings Online. There have been a variety of class changes including the Lore-Masters rework done earlier this year, so this tier list looks very different from others in the past.
Do you think this tier list is accurate? Let me know down in the comments :)

Aubrey out here yappin again! LOL
@@Toadster_Tube Hehehe 😂
New to the game, but loving the Mordor server. I'm playing a Red Mariner solo (landscape 3) and a Red Minstrel duo (landscape 6). Absolutely love both, both feel really unique over anything I've played in other MMOs. Long may the EU server continue!
@@Pricey06 oooohhhh nice! Those are some high level landscapes. If you feel the game ever gets too hard, maybe turn down the landscape scaling. I hope you’re enjoying the game!
As a two handed red line, dwarf guardian main, you are absolved my child 😅
@@Dr_Jones_Gaming 😅
Ive been playing quite alot of RK red and blue for healing (try to maintain blue gear so I can heal my guild). I am having a blast playing RK as a stout axe dwarf. That fella gives a punch! Iam however curious to try out Minstrel but skeptic about its DPS, just so i could use that for leveling and focus on healing. Good video though! :D
Great video! This helps solidify I need to get a beorning going on Angmar 😂
@@Gantoran Sameeeee
Great job once again been having no problems on my blue bear / blue warden and my brawler all at max lvl now working on other toons still in progress keep up the great work.
Yellow bear on Angmar is the key for me..
@@garyputnam3170 Thanks for watching as always! Good luck on the rest of your toons progression.
I've been leveling a Beorning on Angmar and really enjoying it. I'm on landscape difficulty 3, and the wraiths destroy me if I'm on red (DPS) line, but I've been leveling in blue (tank) spec and while the wraiths take a while to kill, they are a lot of fun. I still groan every time one spawns, though. :D
Loremaster is so fun and soo strong especially with the red line! Huge lightning damage and DoT with fire skills👌 i luuv it
Heck yeah! Its so fricking good. I've been enjoying my LM but it almost feels unfair how OP it is.
I have a blue line hunter and yellow line RK and both are great against shadow/mournful wraiths. I think its more me than the classes against harrowing lol. But overall I've really enjoyed playing both. Debating on what to level up next between Champ/LM/Warden 🙂
@@kurtaugustus1767 LM is OP, so I recommend them. I’ve also played a warden now too which the class can be difficult yet fun! Champs are a good middle choice between LM and Warden.
Hi, just want to mention that at lvl 50, I can actually solo a harrowing wraith with my brawler. I do have to be in blue line for my mitigations to work properly and it takes a few minutes, maybe 3-4, but I've been able to do this.
Blue line burglar on angmar! Never had an issue with a wraith
Hi Andrew. Straight blue line or spending elsewhere as well? please, please reply. struggling!!!
glad to se you say something nice about hunters for a change :D ... sort of :D
@@copydepastey Hehe I can be reasonable. I give credit where it’s due…kinda 😆
Yeah for some reason people don't like hunters when there really aren't any issues with hunters atm. People seem to compare them to LMs for some reason, which isn't a fair comparison as they're broken AF. Hunters are fine for now. We'll see where they are in Moria.
@ My biggest issue with Hunter is that it has the lowest DPS in the game just from base damage. Makes them feel so weak compared to others. Even not comparing to LM’s, a burglar can do more damage than most hunters atm which is kinda wild cause they’re mostly suppose to be a support class
I'm leveling up a Brawler on Angmar right now. I've also leveled up a Beorning, Minstrel, and RK to 50 thus far. My experience:
Red Beorning with enough into Blue to get Recuperate still outlasts Mournful wraiths even after the healing nerf, but it takes some time.
Red Mini in Melody Stance smacks Mournfuls around but I have to kite and be somewhat lucky with crits.
Yellow RK I have trouble dealing damage fast enough to Mournfuls. I have to pop a lot of cooldowns and even then it's 50/50 whether I can take out a Mournful.
Now we come to Brawler. I'm at 22 with my Brawler in Red line and just ran across my first Mournful. It melted. What's even crazier was after I melted said Mournful, I realized I hadn't allocated ANY of my trait points. Brawler with on-level purple gear is kind of sick.
Brawler damage scaling has always been busted at this level cap, it tapers off around 85+
@@Supadrumma441 Just have to dig it while it lasts, then. Fortunately, 85 is still a ways off on Angmar.
Agreed on the Blue LM. Highly recommended for this server.
@@DomiNate313 Yes! Blue LMs UNITED!
I get rekt even with blue LM. Granted I opted for the fearless thingy
Did they bring back AOE for LM’s? I haven’t played for several years but am thinking of coming back on Peregrin.
Warden as A-Tier? Louey7 wants a word with you.
@@jayhall1439 🤣🤣🤣
I play hunter in +3 and can solo normal and red wraiths. Now, if I'm in a closed space it's gg so I see your point but landscape I have no issue killing them. Strenght stance and they don't move. Blue line for the kiting and self heal otherwise is a wipe
Funnily enough, every Mariner I started on Crick and Evernight ended up deleted. But I've been really enjoying them on Mordor. For me I'd go B, but that's just personal taste
That's fair. I've never had a fun experience with Mariner, but maybe I should try it out some more on Angmar.
I'm using a Red mariner and never had struggle against wraiths yet
Yep, have defeated multiple harrowings on my blue bear as of now 😌 (even without hope)
@@VincenzodeLeon NICE! I need to make a bear asap
Id put brawler just behind beorning. I leveled one to 50 and ive never had any issues except with the third tier wraith. The other two tiers dont even slow me down
Of course i have both S tiers as my 2 lvl 50's :) RK is actually no bad either. Yellow Bear, Blue LM.. in a group Red LM but solo Blue.
@@epicgameztv Dang nice! Yeah yellow RKs will certainly be untouchable against the wraiths in the later levels for sure.
The last I heard, Hunters were next to get a rework. That should boost them for group content.
@@frodofraggins Yes. We just gotta wait on when the rework will take place :) I’m super pumped for it though!
Nice guide. Thank you.
@@Murat807 Thanks for watching!
Heya! Thank you for your videos ^^ I've been playing lotro with my wife and we don't know what classes are best in duo for leveling and raiding after? I gravitate to tanking or maybe burglar for "share the fun" and stuff. She wants to go mini or RK. What class will fit? Thanks!
@@ГерманКасьяненко-с7н aww thanks for watching! Guardian and Mini would be a great duo but also for raiding it could be good too. While you would probably go more DPS and she would probably go more healing when you both playing together, in raids a guardian is more commonly going to needed as a tank and a mini is actually really good DPS believe it or not. So essentially if you like those duos, just know your roles may be different in the live world vs raiding content :)
@@aubreytheweirdone Thanks :3 I've been thinking about tank but maybe brawler or beorning. Chat says cappy may work well too
Wraiths are pretty easy if you remember to cleanse the corruption 👍🏻 I leveled my RK as blue line and didn’t have any trouble with shadowy or mournful I would just spam heals to fill my bar, then dump it into the RK bubble and start DPS then rinse and repeat ⚡️➕😊
@@PuertoRicanB Trueeee! Corruptions and hope really make or break the wraiths difficulty
Yep two handed Guardian was such an improvement in play. Jump into the fray and kill everything. No, tanking is too annoying.
@@GlennJackson-d8e This exactly!
+3 landscape dif., red warden, lvl 23 atm. Can deal with shadowy wraiths. No luck with mournful tho. I guess on normal, mournful are possible, but haven't tried yet.
@@inCruseSalus Yeah on normal landscape it’s certainly easy to defeat.
Hi, New player here and started because I love LOTR. Would it be worth it to continue on Arkenstone or move to one of the Legendary servers if I am early on in my gameplay?
@@TheRB3 stay on arkenstone cause we will start the server transfer process in a few weeks where they will consolidate all the free to play, live servers. You’ll find more people to play with during that server merge when the time comes
I play both red LM and red RK. Red LM.... that thing is dead before it knows what happened. Red RK... actually, if you use your stone as a tank you can burn that sucker down before the rock dies.
Edit: Also, oddly enough, I can't do the 2nd level wraiths or goblins on my mini. Not sure what I'm doing wrong there lol. Minis can do good damage while moving but I always die trying to stand still long enough to heal. And oh the captain cooldowns. Years ago, I named my herald 'Ohmycooldowns'. Its ridiculous.
Brawlers handle Harrowing easily. Hell I could get Bogbereth to 40% solo at 50 pre Moria
I am about to try LOTRO for the first time in over a 15 years. Any recommendations for a newb on which server to play on or must get items (in game or store)?
@@leonov7157 If you’re able to get VIP and play Mordor or Angmar, those two servers are very populated because they just came out in August but go over the older expansions. It’s like a Wow classic server. Must get items in the store, more inventory. Save for other quest packs or expansions and eventually the journeyman riding skill.
@@aubreytheweirdone Thanks kindly
Great video Aubrey! Cappy allll day!
@@nzfigo Heck yeah! Youre the best cappy I know on Angmar!
search always for morale!
Heck yeh! Another reason Beornings are best class on the tier list lol. They have vitality but also fate too for morale.
No computer again so I'm online gaming
Champions! shing-shing! :)
@@HeideCannon *insert sword emote*
2h Guardian checking in lol.
@@DruuzilTechGames
*I'm a blue champion and I eat wraiths for breakfast* .

@@RobotScrambler Are they magically delicious? 🤤
I would say Mariner is really good, i can kill wraiths so quick they cant do shit atleast in early levels im around 25-30
I have a level 28 red-line captain on the Angmar server and I die to shadowy wraiths every time. My bannerman never tanks for very long and never gets killed. Do you know what I might be doing wrong? (+2 landscape difficulty)
@@jamesharrison1579 Turn off landscape difficulty. I tried landscape myself when the server came out and it made even the best classes impossible. That may be most of the issue.
@aubreytheweirdone thanks!
Sad to say, red captain is pretty garbage dps wise till you get to lvl 30 for stand alone, and lvl 32 for gallant display, the only spammable dps skill you have access too. Wraiths were an absolute torturous experience on my red cap with landscape difficulty on, I highly suggest if your going to level with it on, you want another player to level with or it will be quite painful.
Even at cap, cap dps is still probably third lowest atm, after burglar and hunter.
Go yellow Captain, they can face tank any wraiths, except harrowing without any problems even with landscape difficulty.
Do you recommend yellow champion or red champion ?
@@amiralnelson6714 if I’m being honest Blue lol 😂
I meant to jump in those new servers a while ago but life got in the way. Is it too late at this point?
Moria unlocks in a few days. So for 50 content and raiding? Yes.
@@zedorian6547 I don’t think so because people are coming back for a little bit for Moria, but after January I’d say it’s too late.
@@zedorian6547 no, especially if you join a Kin. We'll be running content for as long as we're all active. Some kins have regular events, group ups and help assist newbies! I'd recommend joining.
Not too late, even three weeks after you asked. Plenty of people still starting. You have to actually work for your mob kills now if people are being rude.
Will there be wraiths on the new 64-bit servers?
@@belwynne1386 No wraiths :)
BEAR IS BEST CLASS
I HAVE NO BIAS
@@Supadrumma441 Respect 😆
the wraiths on Mordor and Angmar are not balanced at all. So every time i see a ghost spawn on +3 Land difficulty i have to run. I mean that aint it. I like that the normal mobs take a bit longer to fight and its not a completely braindead fight where the mob dies with one spell like +1, and its fine but the wraiths are unbeatable on +3. If they implement a new mechanic into the game they could at least try to fix it or balance it for the different difficulties.
only reason why Brawler is in B becouse Brawlers name starts with B ! Just admit ! 😂 lol for me after LM the best class for me , but to be honest i never played on that new server
@@Pufta5 😆 B for Brawler. Yup that’s why it’s there lol
@@aubreytheweirdone 😂
😮
Unsub! How dare you put champs less than supreme!
@@geist72 Hehe sorry! I haven’t really enjoyed playing one as recently
Putting a Burg as D and also some of the comments about a burg being im a main burg i find disturbing, I can only guess you dont play one as its easy to even take down a harrowing wraith. Also you say that burgs are JUST a support class and that is well and truley wrong
@@stephanieflynn1240 They are literally labeled under support in the game menu. I mean they have the DPS label too, but all classes do cause they gotta slay things one way or another :)
I solo harrowing all the time with my warden u need to work on ur combos maybe.. for me its sooooo easy to solo hawworing with warden
21st
@@docshiroe 🤪
@aubreytheweirdone it is the jump street XD hahahaha
@ 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Pfft, I solo Harrowing on my Hunter super easy, nothing impressive about it, I don't even have good gear, I only use quest and landscape items. Just need to slow+bleed them with Barbed Arrow spam and kite them while blasting them. Beorning might be strong but it is a super snooze boring class especially at the beginning and it really does not improve much after.
