Thank you for taking the time to make this. As a returning player who is daunted by learning a new class and has limited time this is the type of video that keeps me excited and a loyal fan of lotro.

Really great video sir! I think lotro is lacking complete videos guides like this on youtube. I’ve been really happy with the red and yellow lines, not so much with blue (hoping it grows on me). Thanks again for the hours you spent putting this video together.

The Mariner...because the Warden was not complicated enough.

@lincolnjohnson4428 8 ай бұрын

The only thing throwing me off Mariner is the positional requirement. Its basically the same problem Burglar has, but the opposite direction. For example, a red/blue mariner should be standing with the tank to maximize DPS.. which is odd. Good for soloing tho.

@ghynghyn4706 8 ай бұрын

It still does good damage without the positional at the moment though!

@sifutg 9 ай бұрын

the blue and red lines look really close in dps, with blue having higher burst at the start, in which case blue would be better in situations where priority damage is important, can you show a parse using the yellow line?

@ghynghyn4706 9 ай бұрын

It's hard to do a yellow parse, since the lunge skill is currently bugged and goes on a too long cd. The thing about red vs blue is that blue might get a little bit less value if there is a red captain in the group, since a lot of their buffs do not stack. Coordination will be needed in order to max out the potential of a blue mariner if you have a red capt in the group.

I do loves me the Brawler, but...I do like the healing that the Mariner brings to the table. Damage is sort of close (not equal, at ALL), but close enough that combined with the healing I prefer Mariner. Barely.

@markdias5636 9 ай бұрын

Dude our rotation for Red.....usually you( In general those who make rotation guides) first lay out the complete rotation and explain why it fits the way it does. It was confusing you saying these 4 skills are your rotation.....but add this....but that.... I am nit picking because you said the rotation was static but you are describing a Priority or dynamic Rotation. To me static is a brain dead push these skills in this order rinse and repeat.

@ghynghyn4706 9 ай бұрын

Maybe I worded it slightly wrong. I meant to say that the rotation is relatively easy to learn and relatively static in my opinion. You just need to learn how to input the filler skills.

RIght now it seems like blue might be the favoured line for higher tiers of raiding, and red is definitely also in contention here. Yellow Mariner will be more of a possible option for LM/Burg in raids in my opinion. Currently LMs are pretty much only yellow in raids, but the LM is due for a refresh real soon, so things might change there.@@markdias5636

They are not part of your rotation because you only play in grps with healer m8. So thats why your wiev is limited to raid and 6m . Its goo but far from enough. Sadly devs get the ide from ppl like you, so that why we have castrated class/ speaking of self sustain and healing. No blame, but its sad that we have only raid focused players as content creators. Thanks for the video. Liked

I'm a bit confused by this comment. Are you saying that the mariner is not good outside of group play?

@runkorko 9 ай бұрын

@@ghynghyn4706 Thats what im saying. Because lack of range/ brawlers have more. Because lack of burst/ need to be build, and mostly because lack of selfhealing. The 2 you have you need to predict and build, same as your defensive skills. No delving videos. No pvmp videos, not a single challengind content video. Solo. You have conections. Test the class outside raids and pocket healers. Bring it to t10+ delving. Go to Moors with it. See the downsides, and tell the right ppl to provide the right changes. I rly hope you do.

It is also my opinion that the content generated by Ghynghyn has a proven track record...and much of my lotro success is because of this channel. A good opinion that, of course, will be tailored by the individual for their individual needs. I'm also pretty sure Ghynghyn did not say anywhere at anytime that we had to do things this way.... On that note, if Ghynghyn DID say that, i would blindly follow to the nearest cliff and jump. 😂

Then why are you watching a video about the latest update/class for the game? For example, I don't play WOW. I simply don't like the game. Same goes for GTA, Fortnite, and other games. And so I don't watch any videos about them, and I sure as HELL don't comment on the videos just to bash a game that others clearly enjoy.

@OFI_TV 7 ай бұрын

Why?!? Because I am a huge LOTR fan. All books, Hurins', Silmarillion everything. And had a huge expectations and hope for this game. I played it until max level at 2016 or 2017. I had everything maxed. But everything was fail at that game. It was me who tried best to not to leave but instead get the max. The disgusting lag of the servers became worse until unplayable. No PVP functionality and everything, so it was a lot of time and huge disappointment. They should apologize from everyone for our money and our time. We spent our money and time for our love to LOTR and Middle Earth itself, not for that fail game. So thats why I am watching this video for maybe a hope of seeing totally radically changed game or maybe an apology from LOTR fans. I hope it helped your brain to understand why I exactly typed here. And BTW. After years I found a great MMORPG game. Maybe the best PVP and atmosphere one also. And most optimized and minimum lag. It was The Elder Scrolls Online I felt myself in Middle Earth. And with all my heart I believe only the makers of Elder Scrolls can make a perfect LOTR MMORPG game. So yeah. Thats why I wrote here. Now be a good boi, and join Daggerfall Covenant in Cyrodiil, against the other 2 alliances. Bye
