Level 60 comes with 42 traitpoints. You will need to spend all 35 points in the same traitline to get the final (7th trait bonus). These are different then the flagstone skills at the bottom (30 points spent needed). Unless there is a clear advantage you don’t want to get any trait outside your primary choice (cost 2 points). Some classes have a 1 point option, but the same idea applies.
Angmar and Mordor are currently level 60 with several major endgame activities.
Compared to level 150 there is a large focus on tactical mitigation and morale. But corruption removal and the ability to self-heal is important to those killing wraiths solo. Traitlines are build with these as a major focus.
Traitlines are still Angmar level 50. See below notes. Raid or specific updates once they become known. An all-round check planned for the holiday weeks.
You’ll acquire 7 extra points and end up with 42 points. This will allow you to fill out several missing supporting traits or venture into the second traitline (at the cost of 2 traitpoints per entry). For early Moria i’d suggest fill your main trait tree (you’ll normally won’t go beyond tier 1 or early 2 with just 42 points without losing important main skills.
However some classes could reorganize and cut on their main trait tree to go deeper into their secondary (up to 10 points). These will be mostly support classes and perhaps some tank specs for specific bosses.
Missing several supporting traits that would normally be in any build with just 35 points. See traitlines for specific comments.

Incomplete with 35 points, but dismissed Sacrifice, Evade and wrath builder. Unsure about Ferocious roar morale boost.
https://ilovefriedorc.com/traits/beorning-LHQ50
No bleed damage boosts, Slam, Trample and Natures Wrath. Less used skills for me. Instead used the 5 skillpoints on execute.
https://ilovefriedorc.com/traits/beorning-LHQ50BEY
Focussed on heal bonus, bees and Piercing cry. No CC, interupt or Rush.
3/5, Modified 150 brawler build. No external information for Brawler in Rift.
https://ilovefriedorc.com/traits/brawler-LHQ50BRRe
Using some points from elswhere for Light or extra Revel pulses might be good. But difference likely to small to notice without extensive testing.
2/5, Modified 150 Burglar build. No external information for Burglar in Rift. Not a lot of recent experience with Burglar outside of dailies.
https://ilovefriedorc.com/traits/burglar-LHQ50BRR
No stealth bonus in this 35 point build. Use the last point in Focus strike for Single target damage over Aoe. Very much a limited raid build.
https://ilovefriedorc.com/traits/burglar-LHQ50BRY
Very few traits used in the 150 raid build leaving you 3 points short of 35.
Some recent experience and external information. Rift experience limited.
https://ilovefriedorc.com/traits/captain-LHQ50CABe
A test build used 50/35 point. Listed build has all shield-brother and group buffs cut in favour of healing.
https://ilovefriedorc.com/traits/captain-LHQ50CARe
Missing Impactfull blow and 2 Standard of War in favour of some more Grave wound and bleed damage.
https://ilovefriedorc.com/traits/captain-LHQ50CAY
Missing In harm way and Turning point in favour of Banner and Tank stats.
4/5, Modified 150 Champion build. Some external information for Champion in Rift.
https://ilovefriedorc.com/traits/champion-LHQ50CHR
Missing Battle reflexes and sprint. Added 1 point to killing spree for Nazgul at little cost.
https://ilovefriedorc.com/traits/champion-LHQ50CHY
Current content doesn’t use the extra targets from the trait tree.
Decent tank experience with Guardian on Live Cap group.
https://ilovefriedorc.com/traits/guardian-LHQ50GUB
Missing Stoic bubble. Not sure how good the bubbles are without LI traceries boosting them. 1 point in force opening might be good.
https://ilovefriedorc.com/traits/guardian-LHQ50GUR
Missing Into the fray. Good, but too costly at 6 to get a limited group benefit.
Same as the 150 raid version. Only Red available atm.
TBD
https://ilovefriedorc.com/traits/hunter-LHQ50HURe
31 points spend. Leaving you the option to get either Rain of arrows, Heartseeker or Bodkin Arrow. For group play i’m not sure if Heartseeker bleeds without Blue and LI buffs outpace Bodkin Arrow. Rain of arrow a far down 3rd option probably.
TBD
Builds from kinnies on Mordor. No own experience with post U41 Loremaster
Modified raid build with limited up-to-date knowledge. Blue and yellow build based on year old information.
https://ilovefriedorc.com/traits/mariner-LHQ50MABe
Enheartening song probably a bad choice. But 3 points left after minimal blue raid build.
With 35 points you can only get the traits meant for the build. No damage traits in blue and no yellow traits for now.
https://ilovefriedorc.com/traits/minstrel-LHQ50MIB
Skipped on Damage, bubbles, power restore and enhancements to anthems
https://ilovefriedorc.com/traits/minstrel-LHQ50MIR
Skipped out of extra Morale in favour of Critical strike and Greater anthem II.
Modified 150 raid builds. Added extra points to main traitline to finish of the 35 points.
https://ilovefriedorc.com/traits/runekeeper-LHQ50RKRe
Very debatable choices
No Self motivation for extra debuffs and damage?
Debuffs vs own damage. After-burn vs Empowering flame
Modified 150 raid build, but unsure if and when going into yellow is worth it.
https://ilovefriedorc.com/traits/warden-LHQ50WABe
Removed Stand your ground in favour of fellowships protector and 3 extra Fear no darkness.
https://ilovefriedorc.com/traits/warden-LHQ50WARe
Removed Physical mastery (completely unsure if you can cap PM without it) in favour of 5 points extra in Dot critical chance and damage.
