My brother and I are leveling together and loving it!! He plays red Guardian and I play blue Captain.

Blue Captain obviously heals and has an in-combat revive. I can’t revive myself with that skill, obviously, and at this level I cannot use one of my big heals on myself. So it’s advantageous for my guardian brother to be the target.

It seems so far though, that I always generate more threat, probably because I’m healing both of us with abilities?

My question is, how do we ensure that he is the target as often as possible? We are level 21 and these are our first characters so thanks for your patience on this nooby question. This community has been incredible by the way. LOTRO just gets more and more fun!!!!!

(Update after ~20 comments: thank you all for the answers. Very helpful, very insightful. Might just be the effect of playing blue cap and red guardian, and we’re willing to live with that and will strategize our best if not some day try new specs! Happy adventuring to you all)

I know this sub is full of people who have waited a couple weeks but I’d like to share that I’m 10 weeks in (ordered Feb 26) and my order is not complete. They emailed me back two weeks ago to admit that they completely forgot to even start my order. And this week they have stopped replying altogether.

I ordered a set of custom 101 originals, stiff KBS steel, +1”, +3°. In the same order I had some wedges and the free glove. Those came in two weeks. My buddy got 201’s stock, they came in two weeks.

I was fully down to wait the 8 expected weeks but when they told me they forgot… I am definitely starting to see the “pay big money to YouTube influencers but don’t give much of a crap about supporting actual paying customers” model shining through clearly.

I usually dislike complaining like this but since this sub is full of people considering buying, and a lot of people successfully getting orders after a month or two, wanted my experience shown as well.
(Hoping I’m one of those who wakes up tomorrow to clubs at the door even though I’ve not been given an order update or tracking number ha).

Update May 8, 11am: support emailed me that the clubs are currently shipping to the US warehouse, then will ship to me. I can be patient so long as I know it’s moving forward as planned!
