Lord of the Rings Online MMO News, Guides, and Features at Ten Ton Hammer

Many classes in the Lord of the Rings Online are hybrids of genre archetypes, and the Rune-keeper is no exception. This premium class combines the Nuker with the Healer and can perform either task with great aplomb. He is the tactical DPS king, and some would argue the best overall DPSer in the game, hitting massive damage numbers with alarming frequency. Healing-wise, he is on-par with the venerated Minstrel, with a seemingly smoother flow of delicious healing juice than the spiky, irregular bursts of the Minnie. The sheer power of this class bumps it into the Premium category, so F2P players looking to hit damage numbers that make all the Hunters green with envy, save up your points and unlock the Rune-keeper.

But before you do, make sure you check out Ten Ton Hammer's All-New Rune-keeper Class Guide and read on to get the straight goods on solo, group and PvMP play, endgame strategies and more!
