Lotro Loremaster How Do You Feed Your Pet

Class Difficulty: Advanced

Role: Support

Available to races: Elf, High Elf, Hobbit, Man

Gameplay: Lore-masters are the masters of crowd control, skills that trap foes and keep them from fighting. They may call on animal companions to fight by their side, and even call on elemental forces to damage foes. In Fellowships, a Lore-master concentrates on supporting his or her allies, primarily by hindering the foe's ability to deal damage.

Lore: Lore-masters are seekers of knowledge and the guardians of wisdom. Through study of bygone Ages, they learn ancient secrets that allow them to hinder foes, as well as protect against the dark powers of the Enemy. They have many skills that invoke the natural world of Middle-earth, but it is draining on their will, thus costing them Morale to fuel some of these powerful skills.

This class was inspired by Elrond Halfelven, Elf-lord and Master of Rivendell.

Role

Crowd-control / Pets / Debuffs / Support / AoE: The Lore-master excels at serving a versatile support role.

• They are the undisputed master of crowd-control, with abilities to stun, daze and root opponents.
• The Lore-master also possesses a wide variety of ways to debuff enemies, even in large numbers.
• They can also supply allies with large amounts of Power, and provide curing support along with some moderate healing.
• The Lore-master's many different pets help allies in various ways, for instance by tanking for them or by debuffing enemies.
• Finally, a Lore-master traited in the Nature's Fury (red) tree provides strong AoE burst damage.

Pets

The Lore-master is a Pet class, and will always have one of their animal friends active. Lore-master pets have useful abilities on their own, but also provide important synergy with the Lore-master's own abilities. Thus, a Lore-master must carefully watch, control, and take care of their pet to ensure it's always alive and helping out.

A Lore-master can only have one pet helping them at a time. A Lore-master must learn to choose smartly from their wide variety of pets to best fit each situation, specialization, role, and environment (see the Pets page for a detailed list of all the different animals a Lore-master can call to their side).

Flanking and Harrying

All pets have a chance to cause Flanked! when attacking an enemy. This is important, because several of the Lore-master's abilities have improved effects when an enemy has been Flanked.

Pets can also caused Harried! when attacking an enemy from behind. Beyond its useful snare effect, Harried has no other interactions.

Pet Food

Pets can be fed pet food crafted by Cooks to temporarily but significantly improve a pet's stats. For example, you might feed your Lynx a Cut of Eastemnet Meat.

Appearance

A Lore-master can consume special items made by Jewellers to change each pet's appearance. For example, the basic Brown Bear can be turned into a Black Bear or even a little bear cub.

See each pet's individual page for a gallery of its possible appearances.

Tactics

Some useful tactics when playing a Lore-master:

• Link break: if facing a target surrounded by mobs that are likely to assist, a cunning Lore-master can manage to fight just the intended target, and not any of the adds.

Start out by casting Blinding Flash on the mob from the maximum possible distance, then turn around and run. Once the adds have stopped pursuing you, return. After 30s have passed the dazed mob will be free and will attack you -- but the adds will not follow.

• Buying Time: Even if fighting just one target, it can be useful to use Blinding Flash. In the 30 seconds that pass you can use Inner Flame to heal up, or wait for skill cooldowns to expire. Or if it comes to worst, run. Be careful not to leave a DoT (e.g. Burning Embers) on the target, as that will break the daze.

• Pet Shields: Pets often have near double your own health, and have no cooldowns between summons. Keeping this in mind, you can survive many battles which normally would be impossible by keeping the attention on your pet and re-summoning when it gets defeated. Using this in tandem with slowing skills can improve your survivability even more.
