Aye, Captains can be pretty über. The only other heavy armour non-tank class (though people tank with them anyway, myself included) is the Champion -- pretty easy to pick up and they also level pretty quick.
Btw apparently there's a bug with my.lotro.com when it comes to trying to view Kinship info. Almost all of them say that the Kinship has been disbanded.
Have to vacate my apartment by the 23rd lol, luckily i found another place up the road though.
So gonna be rarely playing (spot feel free to just level past me !! lol!) for the next 2 weeks while i pack / clean / move, and then I'll have to get my net re-connected again which also blows donkey dick.
