So because I am dumb and confused, in order to post items on the auction house, you either have to had played before and received some loyalty as a result, or if you are new ie f2p scum like me, buy any points package (because the conversion ration is 1 point:2 loyalty). Have I got this right?

This is second hand information, Amory was talking directly to them but:
- They didn't want to move shards because they are pubbies.
- They had a person or two leave because the guild did not want to do sign ups.
- They are no longer using sign ups and will invite on a whim. (So I am guessing that maybe 3 or 4 of us will get into the raids, the ones that can fill important spots like MT/OT and Heals)
- They may stop doing 20 mans altogether.

Oh, nice. It would be pretty hilarious if we moved to raid with them and then they stopped raiding.

You could be like Dragongem and have only Crucia downed in FT :v:.

woah woah woah. you will never be as horrible as roughraptors.

also what's the tank damage like on kyzan? while we do have strong dps in our t2 10man group i feel like the 6-8k dps i can pull as vk would be useful.

I'm using this spec to level my Cleric. I'm 26 and melting through the game, but pre-50 questing and IA's are pretty dull. Is there a faster way to level up? Is there power leveling in this game?

I wish there were more leveling guides like that because that's fantastic.

That energizer guide is very well written. I made the spec on my level 60 cleric (Since i am desperate for a non-pet solo'ing spec) and wasn't that impressed with it, but it might do very well at low-mid levels. You will definitely want to try some different things once you reach the storm legion areas.

Once you have gear 60shaman/16justicar wrecks everything so fast that it's almost too fast. You essentially follow a regular 61 shaman build but use even justice/reckoning as your non-physical attacks.

Even justice is definitely really nice though, probably worth taking over furious assault for soloing.

Yeah I think it was a general opinion, and since it's basically changing a variable, there's no reason to not change it super soon.

Unless they're assholes, but TRION seems pretty cool about listening to its players.

Edit: I still think the map needs an extra, secondary, objective. Like a flag that you need to carry to a base (like EOTS, if you played WoW), just to make it more interesting.

BG Domination is such a dumb mode. Whoo 2 control points, get a lead and camp one point~~

Unless there's like an incentive to attack points when you're ahead. I'm assuming point scoring follows how it goes on codex.

Don't know how long it'll last but that inq/shaman/icar spec is wrecking poo poo in SL, and it's a lot less annoying to play than druidicar.

The single-target leaves something to be desired but it's no worse than druidicar I guess.

It's not like any grind spec is better than 61 inquisitor for single target (for spike damage) anyway.

Former players of Icewatch and Akala are getting tokens of appreciation for getting thrown off their servers:


... all former players of the Icewatch & Akala communities will receive the following within the next few weeks on all of their characters:
  • Title: “of Icewatch” or “of Akala”
  • Icewatch or Akala Regalia Wardrobe Set
  • +1000 Bonus Loyalty

Source: Rift forum


This is pretty cool of Trion. Thankfully I didn't have any ties to Icewatch (I was transferred there after my original launch server belly-flopped) so transferring off was no big deal, but I can understand others who've been there forever being peeved about having to move.

Don't worry about it. When you get to Storm Legion regions, then you 'might' have to worry about your build but for now, just enjoy the game.

If all you want to do is progress, then the pre-mades are perfectly fine to 60. I'm just trying to use "3 button" specs so I can macro all of my abilities, gathering all enemies up, AOE them down, and continue on.

Edit: Pre 50, you can just pres butan. Nothing matters.

Pre-mades work, but if you are willing to grab a guide off the forums (most are linked in the OP here) you can find questing builds that will be much, much easier.

There are a LOT of 60s right now but most of them are either still gearing up to raid level are just barely up to 420. We can probably start it next week (which would be great since that GG situation looks pretty drat lovely), if we do a bit of an expert/crafted push (and people that go on said push don't quit literally the next day) then we should be able to pull some sort of a raid together then.
