Captain's role in Lotro

Hello players , welcome !

Do you know about the captins role in LOTRO ? It doesn't matter if not , let's see what Mordrakens delivered to us :

1. Captains do middle-of-the-pack melee DPS. They use their halbard to do the most damage. They are defintly behind the Champions, Hunters, and probably Burglars util the end game.

2. In a group without Champions or Guardians, a Captain is probably the best tank around. In a group without a minstrel, the captain would be the best healer. But if either of those are in he group, then the Captain will be more support. In a typical fellowship (6 man team comprised of a Healer (minstrel), Champion, Burglar, Loremaster, Hunter and Captain), the Captain would either off-tank the Champion and guard the minstrel (pull aggro off the minstrel) and be a secondary healer.

3. The Captain is very much a jack-of-all-trades, not doing anything particularly well , but being able to contribute to many areas. Things they do:

- DPS (middle tier)
- Heal 
- Buff (increase regen, critical rates, bonus to skills, buff damage, etc)
- Pet (very weak dps off-tank)
- Tank (their lower dps often leaves them as a weak tank).

The Captains have skills that contribute to each of those. So just because a player is expected to fill a role of a tank or healer in a group, it doesn't prevent them from doing any of the other roles. Even if you trait for healing-heavy skills, you can still tank almost as well as if you went for an all-damage setup.
