Īll players will acquire the "Medium" War-steed, with a good balance of survivability, maneuverability, and damage potential. The player then rides off, gathers more speed and Fury, turns about, and rides at the enemy again until the victory or defeat. Because of this new feature, mounted combat is intended to be primarily similar to jousting, in which players ride a distance, gaining speed and Fury, and unleash a single, massive hit on the enemy. Fury amplifies the damage done to enemies as well as the healing done to allies. As a war-steed accelerates to its top speed, it accumulates a new feature called Fury. In this manner, war-steeds behave more realistically than travel mounts. War-steeds accelerate slower, decelerate slower, and have a much wider turning radius than the smaller, northern horse breeds. Movement on war-steeds is not like movement on the travel mounts that have previously been featured in The Lord of the Rings Online. Riders of Rohan also features mounted enemies, and players are encouraged to take advantage of the benefits of being on a war-steed when fighting these enemies.
Players will also acquire new class-specific skills exclusive to mounted combat, as normal "on-foot" skills are not usable. To that end, the war-steeds have been given their own stats such as morale and power and their own skills. This mount is unique from all others in that it allows players to engage in combat while on horseback. Early on, players have the opportunity to acquire a Rohirric War-steed. Mounted Combat War-Steeds Ī new major gameplay feature added in the expansion is Mounted Combat.
