I did not see this in the OP, but it could be somewhere else: is there a loophole to selling stuff in the Auction House without making a purchase with real money? I have 3 gathering professions and I am running out of room!

IIRC one REX gives 2500 loyalty and it only takes 1500 to get AH access, but getting enough plat for a REX without AH access may be hard.

I have 3 gathering professions and I am running out of room! You can buy XXXX (fragment, orb) of Loyalty from players or have someone buy them for you on the AH. Those only give 5-50 loyalty when used, so you'll probably pay more and not get enough quickly but it is an option, too. Its cheap though to unlock by buying credits; $5.00 = 750 credits = 1500 loyalty for purchasing. Then you'll get another 1500 when/as the 750 credits get spent.

Does Rift ever reach a point where the game stops you and goes "Sorry, your lovely rear end build can't handle the game from here on out, go make a cookie cutter character and come back."

The game only "hard-stops" you from entering expert dungeons or raid zones that have a minimum amount of the "hit" stat required (300 hit I think for experts at level 60, it was 200 hit at level 50 for those expert dungeons), and possibly a minimum "main" stat (str for warriors, int for mages, etc). No other content in the open world stops you from attempting it due to gear.

But it can be a bit frustrating riding past someone attempting a great hunt rift mk V (or whatever they're called) or killing the last boss of an event, and finding out that you only ever manage to actually hit once every couple of hundred shots.

As long as it's just gear that holds you back from end-game stuff and not having a sub-optimal spec, then I'm fine with that. (Though I hope they follow WoW in getting rid of hit rating soon)

So i rolled mage and after checking out the healing tree its seems its mostly "hurt stuff to heal" which i like... but it makes me think they wont be that effective as a "main healer" for dungeons and raids and what have you. At some point do they ever get a direct heal without a cooldown?

That said, each class seems to have a few options. I can only speak for mages, but there are 4+ viable raiding dps builds. There are lots of builds you can run if you are good at it and not part of a tryhard progression guild.

Chloros are great healers because they can do damage, heal, and have bus to help the raid. There is only maybe one spot where you need healing but don't have a target, and that's only if Crucia flies away while orbital strike is happening Chloro is really good

Half the reason I got into this game in the first place is the ability to mix n match whatever with whatever. Guess I could make my meta game into how far I can verge off the beaten path and not get kicked out of raids.

The only thing Chloros lack is a spammable group heal when there is nothing to target. Otherwise they make excellent tank healers and pretty good group healers, with the added benefit of being able to swap between the two mid-fight. Our raid always has at least one chloro, sometimes 2 or 3.

My Cleric will be approaching 50 soon. What is the absolute best spec for blazing from 50-60 as fast as possible? Should I just stick with IA's and dungeons or is it worth it to quest?

Basically to add to this - Chloros are the baseline healers that you adjust raid comps around - cleric healers are added and adjusted to what the fight needs.

I use this spec for levelling/soloing and there are maybe faster builds but with this one you won't die unless you do something way over your head.

Chloro healers also don't have any absorbs. If a tank can't get healed or their HP has been reduced due to a debuff they don't have many options, unlike a Purifier.

Yeah, the tank has 1 HP for a fair chunk. 1 puri 1 tank works, don't think defiler has much to do there.

Thanks for the answers about chloro, I was worried I might end up being like a shadow priest from wow instead of a big boy healer. That aside, im kinda running out of steam at 24. Whats the best way to level? Quests kinda drag on and whenever I do instant adventure it puts me in stuff 10 levels under me. Oh, also, will I have to buy content to do raids or dungeons? If so.. where? I checked the cash shop for stuff like souls and zones and didnt see anything. Double Monocle fucked around with this message at 06:06 on Dec 1, 2013 |

If you're burned out on quests, hit up IAs. Even if they put you in a mentored group, you're getting level-appropriate XP for each IA quest and the kill XP is solid too. While doing IAs, sit in a dungeon queue. Try your hand at some warfronts, they're solid XP gain too and a big change of pace. If you do all that, you might just want to take a break for a bit. I also find that switching roles radically helps a lot when I get burned out. Playing bladedancer while solo, ranger in groups, and barding when in warfronts brings a fresh breath every time I have to change mental gears. e: Forgot the last bit. No world content is locked out, and there is one soul for each calling that is behind a paywall. For mages like yourself, it's the harbinger, a melee soul. The others are tempest for warrior, a ranged soul; tactician for rogue, a toolbox techmage thinger; and defiler for cleric, a healing thing that uses mechanics I don't understand.

Yeah, defiler is useful, I just don't think a defiler could single heal Cyril because eventually you're trying to prevent the tank from taking 1 point of damage. Maybe the timing would work out, but I'm pretty sure I puri'd it when we got rapid assault. Double Monocle posted:Oh, also, will I have to buy content to do raids or dungeons?

There have been a few exceptions like the Paragon/Tempest thing that just got nerfed, but those are pretty accidental these days and Trion seems pretty intent on making 61-pointers the best at everything except for grinding or PvP specs that need to mix damage with survivability.

Kyzan has a mechanic where the tank can't be healed. Matriarch reduces the tank's max HP pretty low. Those are the two I can think of where a Purifier would be stronger than a Chloro healer, admittedly we do AoE Chloro heal the hell out of Matriarch.

I find that once you're around level 30 doing pickup groups as a Chloro healer absolutely sucks. The tank often doesn't target anything and if they're not brilliantly geared or not tank geared at all (this will happen a lot) you're just not equipped to heal them in the same way as a cleric. I'm sure they're fine in preconstructed groups and raids but I absolutely hated doing any sort of healing with them in pickups and quickly dropped my Chloromancer spec.

Those are the two I can think of where a Purifier would be stronger than a Chloro healer, admittedly we do AoE Chloro heal the hell out of Matriarch. For Kyzan, burning the beacon quick means that the stacks on the tank are more frequently relevant than the time period where you're not able to heal them. That's why we 2 heal it, anyway. Matriarch is largely irrelevant since her big tank damage ability only starts to get dangerous at 4 or 5 stacks, and a rogue tank could likely survive 8 stacks (where regular attacks start getting dangerous) with planebound aegis, scatter the shadows or defy death (I know the former 2 worked back when I only had ~68k HP, and the latter is typically stronger than aegis when it will definitely proc, so it should be fine as well). There's also Reggie for fights with max HP reduction, and I know I can't survive certain mechanics without proper use of a CD when I take the full 8 stacks at the start of the second burn phase, and we do that because it's easier for me to just use my CDs properly than it is for our healers to try healing 3 tanks with 5-6 stacks each when only one tanks stacks are gonna drop during tentacle phase. Well that and realistically I'm only gonna use the CDs then and during the final burn phase, so it's not super important to try to keep them.
