The Lord of the Rings Online: Classes and specializations

The Lord of the Rings Online: Classes and specializations. Compare their roles and mechanics, then open the available detailed configurations to see exact selections.

A LOTRO build combines your class specialisation, the skills you use, ordinary equipment and eventually Legendary Item choices.

Twelve Free Peoples classes cover the ordinary PvE roster. Monster Play characters are a separate system. Trait-line roles can differ inside one class; a Hunter support setup should not be evaluated as a Bowmaster damage configuration.

Classes and specializations

Beorning

Bear-form tank, healing or melee

Wrath fuels bear transformations rather than ordinary power management.

Brawler

Melee damage or tank

Gauntlets and Mettle power close-range combinations.

Burglar

Melee damage and debuffs

Stealth openings and Tricks affect the target before the group damage window.

Captain

Support, healing or tanking

Heralds, marks and combat buffs make fellowship context central.

Champion

Melee damage or tank

Fervour spending supports area attacks, single-target damage or defence.

Guardian

Tank and melee

Shield management and defensive reactions support frontline survival.

Hunter

Ranged damage or support

Bowmaster, Huntsman and Trapper of Foes use different Focus and control patterns.

Lore-master

Pet, control and ranged damage

Pets and debuffs alter how a fellowship handles dangerous enemies.

Mariner

Melee damage and fellowship support

Balance changes through ordered attacks and swordplay.

Minstrel

Healing or ranged tactical damage

Ballads and anthems prepare restorative or offensive effects.

Rune-keeper

Healing or elemental damage

Attunement separates healing choices from lightning and fire attacks.

Warden

Tank or melee damage

Builders compose Gambits; entering the correct sequence matters.
