Damage types
Weapons, skills and items in LotRO can inflict damage of many different varieties. With the introduction of the Lore-master skill Knowledge of the Lore-master it is possible to see which type of damage is most effective against certain creature types. The damage type of Legendary Weapons can be changed by using Legendary Weapon Titles.
