Some Burg Questions RE Trait Lines and Legendary Weapons

[Vodhr]

Hey all,

So I just hit level 105 as a burglar and I have some questions I am hoping you guys can answer:

1. If a legendary weapon legacy affects a base skill, does it also affect the specialised skill? So for example Lucky Strike becomes Gambler's Strike in Blue Line. Does a legacy that affects Lucky Strike's crit chance also affect Gambler's Strike?

2. I have always been Blue Line. I enjoyed the survivability and options it gave me. However, now I am heading into late game I find that I am killing things too slowly. I've built my entire playstyle around applying bleeds. Is this still viable in Red Line or is it all about burst damage?

3. I really like PVMP. I have a Rank 7 Warg who I enjoy, but have no freepside experience. A major part of deciding to play Burglar was to take him to PVMP and play freepside too. As a solo Burglar in Ettens, should I go Red or Blue? And are there any tips or strategies to recommend?


Thank you in advance

In end game content, burgs use red line for DPS or yellow line for instances, depends on what RL wants.

I'm in much the same boat as you are, though I have played and enjoyed all of the specs so far. My sense is that for grouping PVE, red and yellow are the only games in town, and I can only recommend LOTRO HQ for suggestions.

For PVMP, I would like to hear the community's tips as well. I haven't got any sense of what is optimal right now. Blue *seems* like it would be great if built for it, but I don't want to invest in a set of PVMP legendaries that aren't going to do the job.

The red line is better in pvp.
The yellow line is better in raid as a support.
The blue line is broken on the healers (a tip, forget this trait)

Healing is ridiculous on a level 130
