Class Changes in F2P Release

Just spotted this great summary on Casual Stroll to Mordor of the Class changes coming our way in F2P (Free to Play).
Hunters are getting interrupt & remove corruption skills!!! Hooray and thankyou devs.

Changes are also due for Champs, Loremasters and especially Cappies.

CAPPIES
The Lead the Charge & Leader of Men trait lines for Cappies are being reorganised, not sure of the implications but would like to find out as I am leveling Grimberg my Cappy atm, recently got him to level 40.

Doc Holiday has kindly done some number crunching of the Cappy changes in his blog

UPDATE - Reading around the forums

  • Extra Level 1 Melee skill "Sure Strike" to alleviate early leveling boredom (good)
  • Banners have been nerfed making Heralds more of an option at higher levels (not got to high enough level to affect me).
  • Tier 5 and 6 crafted Armaments are now available (better get leveling my Tailor :))
  • Lead the Charge is now DPS/Herald line (includes Oathbreaker pet)
  • Leader of Men is now Tanking/Buffing line
  • Hands of Healing is unchanged as Healing line
Here is a post on Lotro Weekly with screen shots comparing Live with Beta

Here is the original Lotro Beta Journal post

UPDATE - well nearly two months later it looks like Codemasters & Turbine have resolved their legal difficulties and us Europeans will get the Free to Play upgrade on Tuesday 2nd November as per this Codemasters announcement.
