Talking about classes... Loremaster.

I was reading my old entried, knewing that something was just not good enough... And suddenly I fiund out that I totally sent to oblivion (Yes... again) my point of view about the classes in the game... I blame myself, but more than myself, I blame the hamsters with lightsabers...

It's their fault!

Anyway... I'm gonna talk about another class that I barely used in my game time. The Lore masters. So far I reached one to lvl 10 or maybe a bit more... like 11. yeah.. almost nothing. But I had my research about this character kinda seriously, since it was a good idea (At the moment) to try it. The idea of saving the day using crowd-control is something that I find kinda great, you are like the unseen hero that fix what has gone so far bad.

Also, this class has some healing skills, nothing serious to see it as a healer in the game, but there's always a extra help that you are not going to deny, and a heal skill that also cures diseases and others, is always welcome in the group. And besides that: You are the pet master. Not like Pokemon, but almost nearly.

This class has the ability to summon several different kinds of creatures to fight along side and, as a special stuff for them, they can change their looks... used to be with gems, in my Lore-master days, but I think that they can change it now freely. I do not know, to be honest.

The Lore Master talents trees:

The Keeper of Animals:
I see this more of a Lvling tree rather than a dps tree.. yet, it could be making a lot of damage depending of the pet that is with you in the moment, or maybe you can save the day thanks to your pet... It is normal to think that the skills that are focused for your pets, makes the perfect trait sequence to help you survive when you are alone, reason why I'm basing this myself... Maybe I'm just wrong, as usually, but it could be.
With the pick of this talent tree, you get a extra pet... FOR FREE!!
Master of Nature's fury:
Ok.. this sounds more like: "Master of awesome dps dpsing dps-stuff for dps!" besides, the pic is kinda: "Oh, look at me! Everything around me looks like hell coz I wanted to make it look like this..." Yet, I could be wrong, but I'm sure that this time: I'm not wrong... Trees like this makes you think twice in making a class like this if you dont like it at all... In fact, I dont like this class, but I could go and try one of them for sure.

Why almost all the female elves in the Talent trees looks like her...
Like my Champion :(

The Ancient Master:
With only looking at the pic I can say something: Going PvP against this Lore-master must be a pain. Since the pet is a crowd-control and balanced dps trait, and Master is a focused hellish dps trait... This MUST be the Crowd-control master of the three talents trees. This could be another reason why, in some future, I could make a Lore master... just for being a pain for someone else... That's priceless sometimes.

"Oh.. yeah.. I'm that awesome" *Srslynod*
Well, This post reached its end, but first I'm gonna say what I have to say. I played it a bit, as I say, to lvl 10 or maybe 11 and I didnt enjoyed the class. But that was pre-patch and pre-class focused changes thatthe game had in the past months, maybe I play it right now and I found a nice, good enough class, to play with.

Well, I gotta go, have a good hunt my friends and good luck in the rest of the day/night! I'll see you later with more of Moria, Also, I have to check what Xhii told me in one comment... I have to check what lies behind that rock :O

Within Temptation...

Yes, I'm gonna talk about music right now, coz I'm bored at work and I'm listening at Within Temptation, a lot.

For me, at least, the music is kinda important for the moment, it is hard to explain (At least in another lenguage which is not my primary). For example, I usually have the bad idea to write while I'm listening at something. I say that is a bad idea coz you start to sing, to think about the videos, you have weird moments in were you do not move, blink or even breath... Well.. that part is maybe only me.. I'm that awe... er.. freak...

Anyways, at work, I need music such Sonata Arctica or Within Temptation, reason why? I like them both a lot and both of them helps me to no fall asleep in front of the computer screen while I'm fixing the pics and photos for the design and galleries. Which I have to say that is a hell of a sleepy work... specially right now, with Rain as a natural background and everything grey.

Gah... I just realize how BAD I want to go to sleep...

I know almost nothing about music, in fact, my ear is prefectly trained to not heard the keyboards or the bass unless they are almost alone in some part of the song. As well for the types of music that you can find right now... I'm a Noob-Master in the topic, and yes, I'm happy with it. :)

I just wanted to say, because now that I think about it, that sometimes is amazing how some songs/bands/music had the power to force you to make something... In this case (My case) a book. Gah! gotta admit that some moods of the songs and perhaps the lyrics, can make you wander in a hastly, created world by yourself so fast that makes you regret the fact that, if you are busy at that moment of course, can sit down and develop it complete... Darn you real life with real duties! I could be writting something right now!

Meh.. anyways.. I'll post some pics now aout these two groups, hope you like it :)

Nice logo, right?

Wazaaaaaaaa!

adly, I had to look fast in the web for a pic, and I found this one only.. I was hoping for the cover of the Hearth of everything.

"Sup!"
I know, sorry, some of these pics are outdated... I'll had to take a better look for a future post... and maybe I'll read a bit more of them (Not the lyrics as a Nobb-master only does... :D)

Good luck everyone! And have a great hunting!

Day two: Moria.

I´m at my scond day inside teh Mines of Moria. It´s still easy for me to get lost in this place since is just too big, several levels and most of all: It´s pretty dark. This place was maded to make you feel like if you were inside some forgotten, hidden city under the earth (As moria it is, obviously) but with the fact that you dont know anything about caves or how to survive in there alone.. aside of defending yourself against the evil creatures such Goblins, insects and many others.

After this last day of exploration, I can say that it was worty to wait this long to visiti Moria. First of all becuase of my level, I was gonna fail so bad if I would had visit Moria when I ws lvl 47, but SO BAD that probably I would have my will so borken that I cold had hate the game.y advice friends, lvl 50 isa good lvl to visit Moria, maybe 52 it´s even better.

But most of all is just because the fact that Moria is the Expansion of the game, the first one, ans I was used to some expansion such as Burning Crusade, Lich King or even Cataclysm... Even the one in Lineage where those winged dudes appeared... Or the expas for Diablo II... Or any other game, which were just more normal-like zone to lvl up, open lands, same "mood" even with a different weather. The Mines of Moria is, so far, all the time inside this mountain... It can make you feel a bit of claustrophobia in some parts for the tights zones. And it has also some wide open zones as well.

For example:

Even if this is not a tight part... just think about this:
We used to have troubles with our sight and the trees in Others zones...
This time have have the same trouble with columns...

As i say before: No short cuts... at least not a safety one...

In here I was lost (Weird, right? I know!) looking for some Mirrors...
 Also, it happened something that was good to know that Turbine added the chance. It is normal for others gamesto fall from high places and die, because is something normal in real life. But most of the games wont give you the chance... or the bad new, that you have to jump in order to reach new zones, and sometimes those "jumps" can cost your life.

I feel into a small crack in the floor and, of course, I died horrible. They made me look a fall of at least 30 sconds, then a warning sign and PAFT!: circle of shame for you Minstrel! Good enough I had my chance to revive intact in any emergency case.

Moria, so far, is such a awesome place. Still, i haven´t go so deep into this place and I dont know how long is gonna take me run it complete. Which is one of my fears: That Moria is not long enough. I have to admit that in others games, WoW or any other, the expas were a bit longer (at least at the beginning of the expansions, before they were raped by thousand of nasty patchs fixing the Experience reward of the quests and the mobs slaying.) And if I look into Moria´s map, I can see that everything is joined in the same map and there´s no inner map for each part.

I feel fear about this, but I still have my Glorious Edhelharn Token buff with me (+5 Hope bluff)... and yes, I´m a weirdo about this game sometimes.. you already know me, right? i got several posts with badjokes and horrible screens! :)

Wel, gotta go, I need to complete some errands and then go to work. half of the week is already over and things are going to be a bit more nasty at least fro three more weeks. Good luck my friends, and i wish you the BEST. HUNT. EVER!!!!.

The reason why I got lost in Moria.

If any of you dont know this: I went into Moria today, early. And I have only like 45 minutes for playing before going to work... and 40 minutes of those 45 I was lost inside the Mines, at the very beginning of the Zone.

I have been thinking why, and it is true that the place has so many tunnels, bridges, doors, it[s dark, for some reason my Torch wanst working (I usually use the Alt+F10 effect as a personal torch) and the enemies were ravaging everything and tried to kill me several times. I know that I reached the Goblin town in there only by luck... I know it coz I appeared in the entrance, falling from a small mountain not to far from the guards.

But checking at the screens on my Mail I found out the reason why I was lost... Read this quest log:

Wait.. wait.. slowly... After North.. west or east? the Twisting what? Wait!
Remember that is my FIRST time in some ABANDONED mines!

Yes, that could be th reason why I got lost... It is normal in dwarves to explain the directions in this way? escpecially when this is your first time running inside this place? I dont know...

And I know that I followed the directions... but I only found this:

And I wonder... what in the earth is this?

Well, I guess that I'll be lost again in few hours... Well, see you later friends! and good luck! (And good hunting!)

The mines of Moooooria!

Well yes, today it´s my birthday so I decided to gave me a present: Explore Moria once for all. I was wating for this moment since I was lvl 45 and no, at lvl 50, I can handle pretty well myself inside this forgotten place. My deeds in Eregion can wait a bit, as well this fellow dude Logon, he can wait to, I woke up, had my breakfast, got ready to work but since I´m going to the doctor first, I could spend some time playing. Like 45 mins max.

So I grabbed my horse and ride to the Mines of Moria having in mind that I was gonna be experiencing somethign just as awesome as it could be. in fact, look at this screen:

It is a bloody dawn for sure!

So well, my journey begun and the big stairs of Moria were waiting for me, along with one quest that asked me to talk with two dudes... which was the most "meh" quest ever. I had to go up the stairs and cross to the left, then left again, talk with another guy and then GO BACK again...

This stair... Oh, look! I completed a Deed as well!

Seems like the party went just wrong... who´s gonna pay for that?

Some part of Moria reminds me a lot of Thorin´s halls... Forges EVERYWHERE.. actually funny that they are still working, would they be wroking even before that we opened the door?

By the Valars, dudes.. you cant just be away from a forge for a bit?
One thing that I was not waiting, or expecting, in the mines was the fact that this city is like a freaking laberynth... i got lost and all my play-time was used just to found the first campment of dwarves, which I got it, but I´m not gonna show it in this post, maybe a bit later. Look at the place:


A library.. Kinda small... but must have some good books inside.

A more decent screen of the library...

Looking at this makes me think in one thing:
"There´s no short cuts this time".
Also, I foudn several nasty things, and one creepy thing as well.. this is the creepy..

Some dwarf-statue head...since it was dark I was trying to jump it, until I recognized the
face.. 


Nasty things: Some weird creatures as well... really weird!

Weird and nasty scenaries... 

And a looooooooooooooooooong hallway... remember that I can´t use the moun in here :)
Well, this was my frist impression of Moria: A well maded laberynth, kinda dark as it should be, but too much dark for my taste.. at least for playig it at morning, of course. Well, i have to go, good luck my friends! and have a great hunting today as well!

Oh, by the way, the Poll ended with the fact tat minstrels can do more dps instead of healing sometimes... So i´ll be going dps for a while inside the instances. :)

Eregion, a great place.

I really like Eregion, it´s wide, full of ruins and the quests are nice. the chance of drop for the Legendary items is basically rare and so far I got a two handed sword and a Loremaster book, bad luck i guess, but I got several runes of learning, that adds some Xp to my legendary weapons. And I just reached lvl 50! Woot!

Tomorrow I´ll be heading myself to Moria! I - can´t - believe - it -! Finally I´m gonna kick goblins again! Obviusly, I would like to own a Uruk called Logon, for a deed and a title.. that´s just a personal revenge that I have, each tme I killed a Uruk in this land, they always say "The General will avenge me!" and Logn it´s the only one that you dont need to summon and so far there´s no quest for him. Gonna google it tomorrow, I think.

One of the ruins and free people´s base, Echad Mirobel
(Of course, a ugly, and bad taken screen.. Its me, remember, I have hat gift)

Also, In eregion I got this debuff that I didnt understand...

I´m looking everything.. clouded.. oh. look, a acid damage over time on me too!

i really recommend this zone, bu for the moments, I´m gonna take my leave. Tomorrow it´s my birthday and stuff and I dont wanna turn another age and blah, blah, blah.. but mostly: Today I´m feeling like I could sleep for some nice 9 hours or so. Have a great night everyone! and good hntng :)

And I know why...

The fellowship almost failed at the beginning of their Quest into Moria. I had to do a quest to understand the reason why they had such a horrible time inside the Mines and in Eregion, the reason why Boromir died too, and why they had to take different ways to reach their goal...

While I was waiting for the last part of the intro of Mines of Moria, I saw that Elrond had a quest for me, I believe that was a Epic quest part, yet, I can't be sure. The quest was about the depart of the Fellowship from Rivendell.

While they were gtting ready, and I was there with Elrond looking how they said epic phrases and stuff, I had to talk with them, make them know that everything was going to be good enough, they were saying that eventually we will meet again (Not for Boromir, of course), Sam was getting Bill ready for the trip, Legolas was saying his words with that elvish style as a poem and stuff...

And when they departed from the Last Homely House (i'm not so sure about this name, but maybe was something like that) in Rivendell I started to follow them and i was thinking that perhaps I could go, actually GO, with them... you know, just for a bit maybe...

And then I foudn the reason why they had SUCH a BAD time after leaving Rivendell. They had Frodo, Sam, Pippin and Merry, which i can't say what classes they are even if they say that Guardians are inspired in Sam... I never saw Saw with a full plate, shield and axe or sword tanking in Mordor... They had Legolas, a fine hunter... Gimli, a awesome champion, Boromir the noble Captain and Aragorn, the Hunter-champion-captain-overpowered character... They had Gandalf with his magic awesome-spells as lore-master and, why not, maybe a bit of rune-keeper (At least in the offensive spells)...

And while i was looking at that... the invisible wall of games attacked me and make them dissapear in the wilderness... well, not the "Wilderness"... but I wanted to sound dramatic...

And... this makes me wonder...

Where is the Minstrel? I mean... they are not a group... But almost a Raid... "Almost" is the code word in here... and yet, they dont have a healer with them? That's kinda fail, no matter how good is your group, without a healer it wont succed easily...

Yes... Maybe that why Boromir died, Frodo was injured several times (Trolls, Spiders, ect)...

Yes.. maybe was that...

I blame you invisible wall! I knew that the invisible walls always were working for the evil ones! I knew it! knew it!

"What now Elrond? dont you see that I'm kinda busy right now?"

"Oh, I wanna go! I wanna go too!"
"Wait.. what? I'm not going?"

And this is were I was attacked by the invisible wall of Sauron!
Darn... 

Remember, to avoid this:

Defeated by a troll...


Deaths by Orcs...

Funny, pain faces....

Weird situations...

Take a Minstrel with you in the Raids and Groups...

Srslynod u.u

Good luck friends! And have a nice hunting!
