The Captain is a masterful leader, a commanding presence who strengthens his allies, but he is also skilled in the use of arms. His battle cries strike fear into the hearts of his enemies, while his allies rally to his banners of war.

Available Races: Man

Role

Buffer / Pets: The armoured Captain possesses some of the most potent enhancements to the heroes of Middle-earth, this makes the Captain a key member of any fellowship. The Captain's ability to summon a Herald pet at later levels, plus the ability to bring fallen heroes back into the fight, make it a desired group class.

Jack of All Trades: The Captain has a hand in just about every job for a group. Alone a Captain is a capable warrior and healer, but in a group, he improves a fellowship to an exceptional level. Though he isn't the best in any one area (even when he is traited that way), he can fill just about any role in a group to a limited extent. Equipped with a Herald and plenty of offensive and defensive capabilities, the Captain is a class that requires some thought and focus to mastering.
