Waiting for the client to download...

I got a beta key and I'm waiting for the client to download. I haven't been able to make my account yet because the site won't load. It says there's a heavy load and that the site will auto refresh itself or something like that.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone can give me some pointers or advice?

I'm thinking about playing a Hunter, Champion, or Burglar. I'm definitely going for Human or Elf. If I play as a Hunter I'm gonna go elf, but Champion and Burglar will be human.

I think I'm leaning towards Hunter, but I don't wanna be a Ranged only class. Is the Hunter good at melee as well?

Are Lore-Masters the equivilant of Gandalf the Grey or what? I'd love a Wizard that could wield a sword.

    Hobbits make the best burglars so i'm told , hehe.  Burglar is pretty awsome class with full on stealth capability.

    Think Loremaster may beable to wield a sword ,and bow as well as a staff, I've never really explored the LM yet so maybe someone can give more insight. I will say they have some pretty powerful magic at later levels, cause they kill my  Monster Character

    I like pie !

    The Loremasters are more of a crowd-controller and debuffer. They also get different pets which can buff your fellowship or do some decent damage. They uses Staves mainly, but are able to use a sword with a trait. Some of their attack spells actually cost Morale(HP) to use.



    Hunters are the main ranged DPS. They would be like the Wizards of other MMO's. This is the most popular class. They do great damage and have some utility as well. Hunters have traps, and are able to track. They also have the ability to "Port" their fellowship to different areas around Middle-Earth.



    Champions have the greatest melee DPS I believe. They sacrifice defense for offensive power regen and damage. They also have small cone AE's as well as a small area stun.



    The Burglars have a ton of utility. They can attack out of stealth for burst DPS. They have many tricks which can debuff enemies. Burglars also are able to start Conjunctions. Conjunctions are cooperative attacks that you can pull off with your group members. There are many different combinations for Conjunctions which can buff you and damage your enemies. The Burglar can also Mez and Stun, but their crowd-control is not as effective as the Loremaster.
