Below you'll find links to starter guides for all classes. In case you need something more advanced an in-depth, I recommend this LotRO guide.

Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar offers a set of unique and enjoyable classes to choose from, all true to the lore of the great books which spawned the game.  The classes are unique in their skills and ability, and different races have different classes available.  Check out our overviews to learn more.

Lotro Classes Overview

Choosing your class is one of the most exciting aspects of any great MMORPG, and LOTRO is no different. A class is a basic choice of player for Lord of the Rings Online and your class will determine your different abilities, skills, and features throughout the game.

Minstrel Class

With song and tale, a Minstrel brings hope to places thick with gloom. She can inspire those with desperate minds and heavy hearts to great deeds. In battle, she can turn the tide with songs that strengthen her allies and dirges which strike fear into the hearts of enemies.

Lore-master Class

A keeper of ancient lore and otherwise lost knowledge, the Lore-master uses his knowledge of the lesser and greater powers of the world around him to stave off the advances of the shadow for a time, and to treat the wounds and suffering of his companions.

Hunter Class

Woodsman, pathfinder, and master of the bow, the keen-eyed Hunter can use his arrows to devastating effect from a distance. Archery is not the only thing the Hunter excels at, for he can lead his companions through the forest at greater speed than they could on their own, and can set up traps to ambush enemies.

Guardian Class

A doughty fighter and protector of the weak, a skilled Guardian can face even the toughest foes and survive.

Champion Class

A true master of arms, the Champion excels at combat, focusing on little other than destroying her foes. The Champion's whirling blades can strike fear into the heart of even the foulest orc, cutting down swaths of their numbers at once.

Captain Class

Bearing her banner into battle, a Captain provides hope and leadership to her fellows, inspiring them to greater deeds. A skilled Captain can rally a party back from the brink of defeat, or seal a victory against many foes.

Burglar Class

A stealthy trickster, the Burglar can dart in and out of the shadows to befuddle, weaken, or damage foes.
