Class:Burglar

From LOTRO Lorebook

Official Game Entry
Class: Burglar
  • Skill Level: Advanced
  • Burglars are masters of stealth and misdirection. They are able to confound their foes with a variety of clever and debilitating tricks. Burglars' sleight-of-hand and startling attacks allow their companions to overwhelm adversaries.
  • Role: Debuffer
  • The Burglar's role is to rob monsters of the ability to deal damage and attack at full strength. As the only class that can reliably initiate fellowship manoeuvres (high-yield group-based attacks), its role in groups is a coveted one.

Player Entry
Player Entry
It should be borne in mind that the Burglar of Middle Earth is not the same as a burglar more commonly understood. Middle Earth Burglars use their talents only in self-defense, in their struggle against Sauron. The good races of Middle Earth do not break into each other's houses and/or steal each other's belongings, whereas a talented Burglar will happily sneak into a goblin's den or an orc redoubt in order to relieve it of any treasure it might contain.
