When <a href="http://www.lotro.com/"><em>The Lord of the Rings Online</em>'</a>s new expansion, the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/mines-of-moria/"><em>Mines of Moria</em></a> launches on November 18, two new master classes will be available to the player base: The Warden, a tank/dps class and The Rune-keeper, a healing/nuking class. The reason they are dubbed "master class" is that they are difficult to learn, but are powerful allies when mastered.<br /><br />I got to go hands-on with <a href="http://community.lotro-europe.com/news.php?search=yes&amp;keyword=&amp;pagename=news&amp;type=News&amp;id=7413&amp;type=Dev%20Diaries">the Rune-keeper class</a> in the beta for a few weeks and ran it through the paces: solo and group, with different specs and group configurations.
