IMO lotro would not be advantageous to box unless you did it with creeps.
The only real ranged classes are Hunters and LM's, LM's probably being the best bet. I still can't see this being very effective or easy to utilize.

I have a 50 mintrel and rank 5 creep, but gave up the game due to the broken, limited, and poorly thought out PvP.
PvE will be cool as they add more content- but I need PvP in a game.
