Class:Rune-keeper

From LOTRO Lorebook

Official Game Entry
Class: Rune-keeper
  • Skill Level: Advanced
  • Rune-keepers are gifted linguists and masters of true names. With this knowledge, a Rune-keeper crafts powerful rune-words that help the Free Peoples. Through unparalleled mastery of Cirth and Tengwar runes, a Rune-keeper evokes much more than a normal scribe.
  • Role: Nuker / Healer
  • The Rune-keeper is powerful, but must choose between damage and healing. The Attunement a Rune-keeper is at determines if damaging Dagor (Battle) skills or restorative Nestad (Healing) skills can be used. At all times, the utility skills of Thalas (Steady) may be used, but will reduce your Attunement.
