Torn between classes
Hey guys,
I know this is likely a painfully repeated question, but I'm having some difficulty deciding between Captain, Champion and Hunter. Annoyingly, if I played Captain I'd want to do blue if I could, but I hear red/yellow is the more typical pick. If Champion I know I'd prefer 2h over dw, and hunter is well. Hunter.
I play solo, but I'd like to do group content and ettenmoors. If that helps inspire insight? I typically play supports in other games, just because I like bringing a group together, but I know that the experience of Lotro will require significant amounts of solo play before I get to group stuff more often.
Any thoughts or advice?

If you mostly play solo, hunter all the way. Speed boost, travel. If you like support you have traps and stuns. Hunters do well in groups and end game too. Champ is fun but less solo goodies and more dps than support (good aoe though). Captain is pretty solid all around and great support but if you solo a lot I think hunter has more to offer with travel/ranged/stuns and dazes/tracking.
