The warrior heal and mage tank soul are horribly overpowered on PTS at the moment and I don't see Trion fixing it until 2.7.

so after hounding rough for like 3 hours last night for liberator lessons, he said that its output had been nerfed by around 50% on pts. however, this puts the peak HPS of liberator somewhere around...35-45k with medical facility still being the most ridiculous and overpowered poo poo in the game.

i dont think the mage tank soul is going to be balanced at all; the majority of feedback is from players saying "it's too weak" because they dont understand that the mitigation is based on the mage's charge, not raw mit stats. the parses we got of inyrkta being single tanked with no vigilance, big shield cds etc are being taken as more of a testament to the viability of it than whether it's op or not, since the dot isnt affected by mitigation. if anything, it'll be at a point where it can tank content it's bizarrely undergeared for, as the mitigation stats are so meaningless (stupid as gently caress).

overall unless there's drastic balance changes and retooling in the next few weeks, 2.7 is going to be pure comedy :allears:

I spend most time in this game duoing with my :siren:BOYFRIEND:siren:, so balance is less of a concern for me, but I love playing Paladin type classes so this will be a nice addition.

The news about the new souls is kind of interesting. I've a quick question about the state of the game, if anyone does a lot of PVP.

Is PVP gear still doled out based on currency that's gained from Dailies/Weeklies? Or is it just currency that you get at the end of every PVP match thing?

How should I handle my gathered materials (plants and ores)? The dailies are kind of nice, but I'm thinking about holding off on that stuff until I'm higher level and just selling everything I gather on the auction house until then.

Random daily WF, weekly list of WFs to win, weekly win a conquest game, weekly kill 2000 players in conquest games, random patron chests daily and weekly.

I suggest selling it all. When you're high level you go out and explore/farm up materials yourself cause it's fun or kill things for platinum and buy it from people like today-you.

liberator underwent a lot of fundamental changes (ie calculating healing output) after we tested it. part of this was pvp related - liberator did gently caress all healing - but i dont pvp in this game as it is terrible :colbert:

we tested in our live gear, which is about as close to full BIS as anyone in the game is right now, and we were pushing out ridiculous healing (close to 70k hps on inyrkta - 20k hps and 50k overhealing). over the next couple of days vladd nuked the healing output, but i'd say liberator is still overtuned. fixing it involves nuking medical facility - its ridiculous in its current form - tuning mass casualty response (aoe hot) to be balanced, and maybe reworking the aegis moves so they dont require healing finishers to work. liberator also has (expected) zero synergy with other souls, so dont expect any viable hybrids.

the new souls are going to be on the pts for public testing on monday so im sure theyll be tuned even more. you have to realize that the person most involved in designing liberator is roughraptors, who is a useless retard and has absolutely no loving idea on how to play warrior other than three or four tank specs. at some point in the next few weeks before binding of greenscale hits live i'm going to have to sit him down and teach him tempest. :smithicide:

i'm not sure what has changed in the last couple of days but we're testing laethys and maelforge's t3 versions on monday/tuesday so i guess we'll find out. i won't be there since i'd rather kill myself than do qa for trion so you'll have to bug zoness or esthi for details!

Yeah I'm just curious about how it compares to other things because the only thing I can find are the base values, which are are usually an order of magnitude off the values in a proper spec/gear and mostly worthless.

I'll check Monday I guess.

You guys might wanna think about either a new thread or a title change soonish, I doubt many people who play mmos don't already know rift is F2P but you never know when some poor confused soul will wander in.

I can ask a mod to change the title if people have suggestions. Or if someone wants to start a new thread, they are more than welcome to. I figured we would want one when 3.0 was announced.

Been playing with defiler specs - looking at replacing inquisitor points in the heal-based specs with oracle points. You lose pushback reduction and range but emblem of ice into pain transmission is so juicy. Also 9 Oracle is enough to get a support flag :3:

Also all the sweet things Oracle Gets:

AoE Cleanse (warden cleanse)
Shield/Heal cooldowns
Applies debuffs as an aura - mobs moving into debuffs pick up the debuffs
Other things I haven't messed w/ yet.

All hail our new cleansing and purging bard replacements, since the latter's exactly 12 points up in inq, probably end up with it in a spec for someone who runs dedicated support.
