Captain
The Captain is proud and strong leader, a commanding presence who strengthens allies, but is also skilled in the use of two handed weaponry. Captain is very useful at PvE (player vs environment), because of awesome buffs + he can eventually heal his party mates.

Champion
The Champion is the consummate warrior, unrelenting in battle. His fervour allows him to make increasingly powerful attacks. Champions are very effective melee DPS class, he is also quite tough so you don’t need to worry about his survival on the battlefield. Brutal, fast and master of dual weapon combat. I must admit that Champion is my favorite class in Lotro. It’s easy to farm Lotro gold as a Champion.

Burglar
The Burglar is a master of stealth and misdirection. Burglars are able to confound foes with a variety of clever and debilitating tricks. They can stun, they can run, they can do what they can ;-). Basically is tricky bastard! It’s good that he doesn’t steal any lotro gold. They use as a weapon daggers.
