Class:Champion

From LOTRO Lorebook

Class: Champion
  • Skill Level: Beginner
  • Unrelenting in battle, Champions are consummate warriors. Their fervour allows them to make increasingly powerful attacks. Champions excel at melee combat and can absorb punishment with their heavy armour.
  • Role: Area-of-Effect Damage / Damage-per-Second
  • The Champion trades survivability for the ability to deal explosive amounts of damage to multiple foes. Although a fully armoured class when not in fervour mode, it is when Champions enter this state that they deal out the greatest damage, both to single and multiple foes.
