THE WILD HUNT

Greetings, all! Danger Dan here, writing to give you a preview of what’s in store for the Hunter in The Lord of the Rings Online™: Mines of Moira™.

Whether you play as a Hunter or alongside one, if you’ve made it to Moria, chances are you know what to expect from The Lord of the Rings Online’s #1 ranged damage dealing class: Big, single-target damage at range. Sought after utility skills for group travel and tracking. A splash of crowd control through skills and traps. Respectable damage in melee for soloing and finishing the fight.

Along comes Moria, with 10 more levels and the exciting possibilities offered with the advent of Trait Sets. Across the team we decided that each class would have three different sets, representing different aspects of the class that players could choose to specialize in or mix-and-match as they saw fit. Let me say that if playing with the possibilities here is even half as much fun as I had designing it, I think you’ll have a blast.

I’m here to tell you about the three different trait paths available to the Hunter in Moria, designed with the hopes, dreams, and feedback of Hunters ever in our mind. Yet, I won’t stop there, because as awesome as Trait Sets are, they are not the sum total of what’s new in the mines. Grab a beverage, sit back, and dig deeply into the next step for Hunters.
