Burglar

From Lotro-Wiki.com
Jump to navigation Jump to search


Class Difficulty: Advanced
Role: Support
Available to races: Elf, High Elf, Hobbit, Man, River Hobbit, Stout-axe
Gameplay: Burglars are masters of debuffing, skills that cause foes to deal less damage, or be easier to defeat. They utilize their Trick skills to debuff foes, and can later remove the Tricks for additional benefits. Burglars also have stealth skills, and are proficient in initiating Fellowship Manoeuvres. In Fellowships, a Burglar supports his or her allies by debuffing foes, while dealing respectable damage.
Lore: Burglars are masters of stealth and misdirection. They rely on sleight-of-hand and starting attacks that allow their companions to overwhelm adversaries.
This class is inspired by the famous Bilbo Baggins, who accompanied Thorin and Company on their quest to the Lonely Mountain.

Role

Burglars play two main roles: Debuffer/Support and DPS:

  • They use Tricks and Gambles to decrease the offensive capabilities of enemies.
  • Several of their skills increase the incoming damage of enemies.
  • Burglars rely on critical hits to perform strong skills.
  • From stealth, they can make high impact surprise attacks.
