I want to know what classes are your #1 favorite using this poll and post a comment about why you like this class the most.

I voted Loremaster. First off, i LOVE pet classes, and with the necklaces and min-pet things they added I have a large variety of them.
But most importantly, I love the versatility of the class. I do well soloing with my pets or I can group and be very useful. Me and my husband duo or group with our kinship mostly and we do great with my loremaster out there.
She has 2 different stuns and can mez an opponent for 30 seconds (the ability has a 15 second recharge timer so you can potentially mez two targets at once). I can heal (have the trait slotted for 20 recast timer for grouping), transfer power to group members who need it, take power from an enemy (stopping him from doing special attacks), DOT, AOE, REZ, have two separate root abilities that last for up to 30 seconds...oh, and I can set things on FIRE. What more could you want ?
Looking forward to my legendary trait that lets me use the sword and the staff ^^
Oh i forgot, I have three different class abilities that let me heal myself in combat, PLUS im a human so I get a racial heal. LM FTW.
Havent there alrady been 2 polls about this recently? Or did i miss something?

I chose Loremaster. It's the hardest to play (I think?)
I no longer play the game but my 2 characters were Man Loremaster and Dwarf Champion.
*DUST IN THE EYE!!*
Don't confuse a players ability, with a class being Over Powered.

I chose Lore-master.
The class is a blast to play and is the CC king.
Keeping two mobs perma mezzed during a fight is UBER cool.
After lore-master I would say either a Burglar or Minstrel.
Wow. There are a lot of people who suggest the Lore Master, here in mmorpg.com and the lotro site. Personally I love my captain, but have yet to try an LM. I guess I have to roll one and try it for myself.
In all reality, I like and play all of the classes. Just if I had to pick one I'd say the LM. My husband laughs at me because I always say I like the class I'm playing at that exact moment the best^^
I hate levelling my characters when they have no rest state, so I switch around a lot. I find that I enjoy a class once I figure out the strategy behind it. As I said in another post, i HATED guardian for a long time, could hardly bring myself to play it. But once I got to the point where the guardian began to get abilities that keyed off of each other, I found it was really easy to solo with and I could take crazy amounts of stuff with it.
The LM was tough for me for a little while when I tried to use my bear to solo, but if you use the raven (which flanks more) you can use your heal (which keys off of pet flanks) and equip the trait that gives you bonus damage with your staff when your pet flanks. Never try to play a LM like a hunter in WoW. Always make sure youre hittign with your staff as well as casting (if you're soloing).
They are also great for grouping, I just tend to solo a lot so that's my most of my post in about that ^^
The tougher to play, the more fun it is for me. Loremasters and Burglars all the way,

I have a 50 Burg, 50 Lore-Master, 50 Hunter, 50 Champ and 49 Minstrel. I love my Burg, she's my main. I love her evades, her crits, her stealth ability, her debuffs. Not to mention she's hawt in her full rift gear.
Honorable mention is my Lore-Master.
Does anyone know of a guide or something that shows the basics of the classes based on MMO standards?
I'm trying to choose a class and the names are very different than typical MMO names. Can anyone verify what I have so far?
- Burglar = Thief = Rogue
- Lore Master = Druid = Naturalist
- Hunter = Amazon = Ranger
- Guardian = Warrior = Battlemaster
- Champion = Lightweight warrior = Dual Wielder
- Captain = Lightweight warrior = Paladin = Squad Commander
- Mistrel = Bard = Healer
Are those about right?
-------------------------
Those are pretty much right. I would say that guardian is a tanking warrior and champion is a dps warrior lol. The basic idea of the classes is the same, but they don't really play like standard classes.
I recommend you try all of the classes. I found I ended up playing some classes that I thought I wouldn't like more than the ones I thought I would love. For instance, I love pet classes so I made a loremaster. However my champ made it to level 47 before she hit 35.
unfortunately, I've enjoyed every class I've tried, leading to a bad case of the alts.
