The Ultimate LOTRO Gameplay Guide for 2023 - Best Classes For New Players

If you've never played the Lord of the Rings Online MMORPG before it might feel a bit overwhelming when you get to the character creation screen and see all the race and class combos. Welcome to my LOTRO gameplay guide covering the best classes for new players in 2023!

Granted, these are based on personal preferences after having played the game on a casual basis ever since it first launched. I'm not into raiding, and I don't do a lot of group-based gameplay these days. I mostly play LOTRO as a solo MMO just indulging myself in Middle Earth and all things Tolkien as opposed to seeking out challenge, so hopefully you enjoy this LOTRO gameplay tutorial from my perspective!

Which means, for me, my favorite classes in LOTRO are based primarily on what I find the most enjoyable and useful for the style of gameplay that I enjoy in this classic MMORPG. Hopefully you enjoy and stick around for the next Lord of the Rings Online gameplay guide, coming soon!

I started up again recently after about a decade. I chose a dwarf guardian this time around and am leveling using the Blue trait line. I could probably handle about 8-10 mobs solo as long as they don’t stun. It’s slower than the Red trait line or most other classes, but I enjoy it.

Thanks for this man. I'm actually getting back into the game and stumbled across your video. I didn't realize you played LOTRO also.

Interesting. Got this randomly in my feed and actually might give this a try. Haven't played an mmo in many many years.. Thanks.

burglar could be fun to solo level with since he can sneak around everywhere, through mobs and quest areas without fighting through them all !

I started a new Captain in a Solo playtrough and I’m really happy with him. The damage ist great and I don’t have any problems to fight 5-6 enemies at a time and killing them easily. I’m always using the damage buff from my companion. I think I will do an Elven Hunter or Hobbit warden as the next char

Brawlers fall somewhere between Guardian and Champion - they aren't too complex, they're tough, and it's fun to punch monsters in the face.

Appreciate the guide man! New player as of yesterday!

I still dabble in LOTRO - it's a fine balancing act between indulging in a bit of leveling here and there and suddenly losing hours I should should have used writing.

Question: Can I switch between servers? Or am I stuck on one once I create my character? I am planning to play the game with a relative, so it would be good to know if I need to ask him what server he is on ahead of time.

Not sure if you played beorning, I have since it came out, even a year ago, it wasn't just "decent", it was amazing and still is for solo. The survivability is absurd in blue and yellow. The dps in blue is better than other tank classes. The red line is crazy dps now, not as much then, but it was decent, though survivability was lower since they didn't move recuperate to the bottom of blue until a handful of months ago. Beorning, after warden if you know how to play it, is hands down the best solo class for tough soloing. I'm not talking about landscape that any class can do and hunter is best at, I mean, actually soloing content like delvings, fellowship quests, skirmishes etc etc.

great video! i've never played this game but decicded to give it a go since its f2p. the only issue i have is that every 20seconds or so, the game music or sound in general seems to reset and it causes my game to stutter for a second. i've tried to find a solution to fix this but nothing seems to work. no other game i have does this, its only lotro. any tips to get it fixed? its quite annoying

[Tczewianin]

Playing Red line as Guardian is better for shield or two handed weapon?
And second question if I play a Red line what skills from other Lines should I choose?

[drusszan]

I like my dwarf guardian its fun to play.

[severintw]

Is that list from the video valid?
1. Guardian
2. Hunter
3. Ministrel
4. Loremaster

[adopiizi]

I couldn't get it to even run on my pc

[nikolajkristensen]
