Grav - Lore-Master is actually the toughest (from experience and from what I've read) class to solo.

The reason being is that this is more of a support class than anything else. You may find it tough, really tough, to do quests where you attack groups, I know I do. The trick is to rather do quests that are a level or two below your current level, so that you don't get overwhelmed and disappointed with the game itself.

I'd suggest using a champion, guardian or captain initially to learn the game, but that is most certainly up to you.

Seeing as there is only 1 Hunter in the group, I am keen to make it 2. Have not decided if it will be an elf (most likely) or one of the others.

I have a hunter as my second character, and they are enjoyable to play (if a little common). If you do go hunter Onny, then Elf is the best race choice, due to the agility bonus that you get.

We are still in need of healers of course, with only Sheri and I playing classes with group heal capabilities. Will prove very important when we get to high level raiding/instancing.

Lore-Master also heals, but not group-heal (that I've seen yet), rather target heal and heal a lot - current +300morale at level 16.
Plus my LM can remove ill effects like wound and disease.

I think we've got a couple of classes now to create decent balanced fellowships, I'm definitely working my may through to make my Lore-master my Primary for future.

common!!! Who you calling common eh? I would accept such trash talk from a Hobbit, but from an Elf-kin I am disgusted!!!

Well Onxy, I have enjoyed the hunter class they relatively easy to get used to and they provide a damage rate. It would also be cool to have someone else at the back of the crowed protecting our weaker-kin like Drag... :p

Dude I cant cast my fishing rod without getting the line hooked over the ears of a female elf hunter. Liv Tyler fetishes are common. Common.

I've also started a "Minstrel" account. Going to swap between them for a while and see what works best.

I might need a few harder missions to decide between them 'cause at the moment they're still evenly matched (if anything, the Lore Master seems to have a higher attack strength).
