Pet peeves: The return (Part 3)

its what tears me up. i am an absolute mage appreciator on every setting im in. first character in every mmo or rpg is always a mage. wow? warlock and mage. gw2? elementalist. eso? sorcerer. LotR has one of the most limited magic systems in fantasy as proper magecraft is limited mostly to the Five Wizards with elves having their own taxxing variation.

dwarves too i wont invalidate runekeepers

Middle-earth is a low-magic setting, yeah. I personally think it’s a feature, not a bug.

I don’t know what class to play. My current character is a low-level minstrel, but I’m considering rerolling to something more solo-friendly. And, sadly, all the good Sindarin names are already taken.

Hunter so far has been very fun solo, so I recommend that if you like the archetype. You can use the campfires around the world as an additional milestone teleport with no cooldown after lvl 26.

You also get no cooldown teleports to all starting locations at certain levels(so Michel Delving, Bree, Thorin’s Halls etc).

I’m worried that if I make an elf hunter, I’ll make her a Lintian clone.

Which, I suppose, beats worrying I’ll make my elf minstrel a Luthien clone…

Warlocks/Necromancers-Goth & Drama groups.
Wizards-Nerds.
Sorcerers & Mages-Football Jocks/Cheerleaders.

It’s an awesome song.

I love many Tolkien songs by CDP, but that one is absolutely my favorite. They nailed the feel of the original.

I like playing it during my leisurely forest walks.

It’s so beautiful. I don’t listen to it often, but when I do I am so captured by it!

Speaking of grouping warlocks and necromancers, WoW desperately needs a necro reskin for the warlock class, not least because who would go to demons for power after we showed conclusively that demons are chumps

I fully support this decision.

Imp=Ghoul or Skeleton.
Felhunter=Geist.
Voidwalker=Tanky Skelly.
Succubus=Ghost or Banshee.
Felguard=Tankier Skelly/Elite.
Infernal=Abomination.
Doomguard=Something, maybe pesudolich.

My thought was for a questline where a warlock goes to Maldraxxus and is like ‘hey gang want to fight in the living world for a bit’ and the various named people are like ‘sure Maw Walker, we owe you’

I just like the idea of casting Summon Doomguard and Balmedar appears

Shameless confession time.

Parts of my personal aesthetic in real life are low-key inspired by Luthien in hindsight, in that I wear my long dark hair loose, and a lot of my wardrobe is long blue dresses. (It wasn’t conscious and I only realized my possible unconscious inspiration later.) I’m adventurous and carefree and like to spend time in the woods. And I fell in love with a woman with a dark and troubled past against the wishes of my parents (you can guess why).

… I’m nowhere as beautiful, though, but comparing oneself to an idealized fictional character is unfair anyway.

oooo waves hands you want to send your old pal stonetower some mountain dew oooooo

yeah no i’m impressionable to a point

you’re asking me to kill somebody and i just can’t do that, my inbuilt moral fibre overrides the request

Reject society’s demands. Be the gay elf-maiden you want to be!

We’re putting you on a diet of fresh water instead of Mountain Dew. Your sugar intake is high enough!

I’ll have you know that the 12 litres of pepsi currently in my house are all sugar-free
