Class:Warden

From LOTRO Lorebook

Class: Warden
  • Skill Level: Advanced
  • The Warden patrols the borders of civilized lands, preventing the encroachment of Fell Creatures from the Wild. While some Wardens prefer to harass their enemies from range, all are capable of standing toe to toe with the toughest opponents.
  • Role: Tank
  • Wardens are limited to medium armour so that they can travel swiftly and silently to defend those they protect from threats. Wardens depend on their Determination for protection rather than heavy shields and armor. Wardens all have some military training and have mastered a style of combat that uses combinations of basic attacks to create masterful Gambits.
