Turbine, Inc., developer of Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar (LotRO), recently discussed the various gameplay tweaks they would be visiting upon the Lore-Master (LM) class in the Book 11: Defenders of Eriador update of their MMORPG.

While Turbine acknowledged the various strengths of the Lore-Master class, they wanted to address the complaints of Lore-Master players who believed that it was the LM's limitations that defined the class, and not the LM's abilities.

In order to accomplish that, Turbine tacked on new features to the Lore-Master's arsenal of skills. They tweaked the MMORPG's crowd control capability, added skills that increase the Fellowship's damage against specific types of enemies, and gave the Lore-Master a way to bring back defeated comrades.

And if those weren't enough, they gave Lord of the Rings Online's Lore-Master a brand new Lynx to play around with as well. While somewhat frailer than the Bear and the Raven, the Lynx more than compensates for its frailty with stealth and positional burst damage bonuses.

With added flexibility and a few more crowd control tricks added to his already impressive repertoire of abilities, Lore-Master players will surely be pleased once the Book 11:Defenders of Eriador update for Lord of the Rings Online is released.
