Many classes in href="http://www.tentonhammer.com/lotro">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.
