This week we spend time to go over all the dev diaries released lately. We spend some time trying to plan out what soldiers we should pick for our RK/Hunter duo.
Goldenstar is feeling quite accomplished this week having gotten her Hunter her first legendary weapon. She also dusted off the runekeeper and got quite a bit done in Garth Agarwen. She completed two dungeons with challenge mode in one evening and was feeling quite tough!
Merric got to 40 on the Champion and got his Runekeeper to level 32 playing in skirmishes. He only has the Hunter and Warden left to get to 40 after the Runekeeper.

Guys,
I have just recently started listening to your podcasts. You 2 have been accompanying me to work for the last 2 weeks as I have a 30minute commute each way. I went back as far as your PAX interviews. Your cast is very informative, and entertaining. The interview with the Tolkien Professor was top notch. I have since downloaded Corey’s lectures and look forward to starting them. The dungeon roundtable was outstanding! I play a lvl 44 guardian and a lvl 12 mini. Not only did I learn a ton about the other classes, but a bunch about my own as well. I can’t wait to listen to your class roundtables. Surprisingly, I have also enjoyed your non-game interviews. You have done a great job of picking guests unrelated to the game, but close enough to be interesting. Both the Tolkien Professor interview and the Taverncraft interview are great examples. I’ve just started poking around your website today and look forward to the treasures buried within.
For future topics/suggestions/interests:
Game mechanics such as fellowship maneuvers, interrupts, crowd control techniques, skirmishes. A revisit of the group discussion after the re-release of several instances with 3.2.In closing, thank you for the time and effort you put into ‘A Casual Stroll to Mordor’. I’m sure it is quite difficult to balance work, family, life, and this ‘hobby’. Your contributions to the community are greatly appreciated, though.
Regards,
Texborn – Lvl 44 Guardian from Landroval – MVT Kin.

Great episode as always!
About the Protectors; my Minstrels uses one and after going through epic 2.9 and collecting the many MANY skirmish marks that chain gives, my Protector is a lean mean…protecting machine!
As long as you send him in first and have the AOE shout equipped and leveled he can hold threat fairly well.

Hi guys!
I am a regular listener, first time commenter from Germany. Just wanted to let you know that you would not have to use a German language client when playing on a German server. You could use the EU English client. Of course people ingame would still chat in German but the interface would be completely in English.
Thank you for bringing out such a great show and especially for the round tables.
Cheers, Bretack from EU-Belegaer

Excellent to know
But maybe it’d help me with my german if I downloaded the german client. I’m sure it’s useful to know how to say things like “piercing cry” or “scathing rhetoric” in german haha!

AWESOME! I love that my name was dropped TWICE in the episode! You two have made my day, and GS, I promise you’ll LOVE the book we talked about in chat! Keep it up you two (and writers)!

I’m with you guys, who do they think they are fooling with that many maintenances in a row. ROFL!
The official word:
It’s only maintenance, wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
