Burglar

From Lotro-Wiki.com

The Burglar is a master of stealth and misdirection. Burglars are able to confound foes with a variety of clever and debilitating tricks. They also excel at attacking from the shadows, allowing them to take enemies by surprise. A burglar is also known as an Expert Treasure-hunter, able to use their Track Treasure skill in order to seek out those valuables.

Role

Debuffer: The burglar role is to rob monsters of the ability to deal damage and attack at full strength. As the only class that can reliably create conjunction opportunities (high-yield group-based attacks also known as Fellowship Manuevers), their role in groups is a coveted one.
