it's level 51 so you can powerlevel a warrior to 51 and go ham in pvp. the weapon dps is equivalent to a t1 relic.

So is everything on it, pretty sure the stats and hit are level 60 but the item is 51.

What's a good rogue solo build? My friend is running some abysmal Tactician build that averages around 1k single target dps at lv 54, and he's never gonna level that way.

http://forums.riftgame.com/game-dis...eling-spec.html

I've been using this one for the past 20 levels or so, and it's pretty awesome. Easily sustain 4-5k dps to similar lvl mobs, ST or AoE, at lvl 55.


edit: oops, forgot I had a question too.

I have some credits left over from buying SL. Is there anything actually worth spending them on? I'm not interested in costumes, but a faster mount would be nice. Or any practical utility things.

Credits are the most cost effective way of buying a mount. Do that.

If you don't have enough for a mount, the brevanic portal generator is a good purchase if you like teleports on cooldowns. (it lets you teleport to any portal that you've unlocked, with a 1 hour(?) cooldown, self-only)

Apparently the thing is classified as a 2H sword even though it's really a 2H axe, which has some really glitchy results:

Have they improved cleric tanking at all? I played the game a bunch back when the cap was 50--doing progression as a cleric tank was pretty fun, heh.

The main problem was a glaring lack of real tanking CDs though and burst aggro, if I remember correctly.

Cleric tanks have both burst aggro and good cooldowns. Some of those are the same skill!

I have been having threat issues lately against t2 geared warriors getting lucky bursts (and relic tanking weapon procs take aggro off me like a fat kid taking a candy bar). It's not insurmountable, but if I am not paying attention to threat because of some other mechanic (or because I am worrying about my own health) then it's game over.

I've taken to taunting eggtenders almost constantly (every 10-12 seconds) just to make sure Vandee/Egeus don't shear aggro. A few times I had to run to find my healer (their fault) I lost aggro.

Most "disconnects" are short enough that by the time that set's finished, it's safe to go back in.

There's a difference between having things to do during disconnects and getting to do your full normal rotation during disconnects. Also, there are definitely fights where you will be out of melee for 5-6 GCDs at least, depending on the strategy you use (Matriarch for example, some Regulos strategies, and very often for the Brothers in IG).

I realize Shaman gets a lot of advantages over other melee specs mostly in smooth transitions between AoE and ST damage, but having the ability to have a 20m range massive blow once every 30 seconds would be pretty nice, also if Ekkehard's Grasp had a physical equivalent that lowered the cooldown of Massive Blow that would be just peachy. The losses from your standard melee rotation are pretty substantive from missing a few gcd's.

Pretty much everything to burn through before Ekkehard's is part of a standard rotation anyway, and most of it will drop Massive Blow's CD so it's not really a big deal if the disconnect doesn't drag on for too long. The loss is definitely there and gets worse the longer the disconnect goes on (or more like, the longer Massive Blow is off CD and not being used), but I don't think it really matters much at all with short run-outs, and it's a shitload better than when the only things you could do were cast Vex and then spam Ekkehard's.

RIFT 2.5: Hotfix #13 2/5/14


== PROMOTION ==
A new Frosty Budgie mount can be acquired from Limited Edition: Budgie Troves, available on the Rift Store and by completing the new achievement Chicken Run!

A new Ashen Budgie mount can also be purchased with Bird Seed, which is obtained from the Limited Edition: Budgie Trove and by completing new daily quests in Silverwood (Guardian Only), Freemarch (Defiant Only), Pelladane, and Cape Jule.

Note: This event runs from 8:15am server time on February 5th and ends at 8:15am server time on February 12th.


PVP AND WARFRONTS
* It is no longer possible to join a team and then quickly leave it before the invite pops up.
* To queue up a raid for conquest, every person in the raid must have the same conquest faction assigned (be it none, or a specific team).
- Note: The button for a raid with people from one conquest faction and unaligned members will still be clickable, but won't do anything - this will be fixed in a later change.


ZONES
IRON PINE PEAK
* Mobs in Iron Pine Peak will now once again rarely drop dimension items or random rare/epic items.

STEPPES OF INFINITY
* Fixed an issue with The Craft of Conflict zone event that would cause the Nug Battler Nug to remain untargetable during the pie throwing phase during the event.

You can't get the mount off dailies alone, you have to buy him or buy chests for extra bird seed. It is not worth doing them past the first day really, the first time you get a Trove so do it once and forget about them.

For the Ashen budgie... Apparently you cannot get enough bird seed by only doing the daily quests to purchase the budgie. So basically there's no reason to do the dailies past the first day for the Limited Edition: Budgie Troves.

tbh i feel warriors are overtuned as gently caress right now and bringing other classes in line is enough to trivialize pretty much all of the current content. i wouldnt mind some kind of nerf (to wavelength/combat focus/alacrity) to bring them in line, but trion never does that so :shrug:

also i updated my pts client yesterday and had to download a loving whopping 10gb. i really hope that's just the client screwing up and making me redownload half of the client instead of real patch data.

Yeah if they are only level 20 you can get there again pretty quickly. Although really it doesn't matter until you get higher level, you won't have many abilities at 20 to learn.

Fairly active. We are starting to do T2 raids again, and we have a couple groups running 10 mans (T1 and T2) on some days. Around 25 people on during prime time, though I'm honestly not on much outside of raid nights anyway.

Alright I figure I will make new characters and try to vendor/save some items and just relearn the class. I still cant clear this Coin Lock though.

You may need to reset your password first for some reason. Not sure why, but try that and then resend the coinlock email.
