I'd still rather play with medieval knights online then go outside and "hang out".

If you change your mind on raiding, warrior is the shortcut to all the loot, since we are seriously lacking in warriors at the moment (rogue, too, but there's a few more of them). Otherwise, it's really what you prefer. I will say that experts can be rather unfriendly to melee, so unless you really love tanking them, you may want to go with cleric. Actually, if you love tanking them, go cleric anyways, for better cooldowns when you have poo poo healers. I may be biased, playing a cleric myself.

We have myself and Vandee.

We have Koranos who can only make progression nights (which is fine if everyone else shows up on farm).

We have Johson who normally posts if he can't make a raid.

We have Antaris who is currently undergoing his finals.

We've had five warriors show up without issue every week except for the past one, and it was likely due to a combination of the clauses listed above. You've been raiding for one week, please stop making assumptions as to how our raids have bee working.

I actually brought my warrior in the guild just a few nights ago. Eotri is my character's name. I got a long way to go, but I do 9.8k ST tempest, 10.6k paragon, and something like 83/84k on champion with max targets by myself.

I also tank, but only have 50k HP. I am however working towards making my own 111 end seal as I found a marvelous rugged augment recipe and bought the seal recipe as well. I got like 800-900 platinum worth of materials to buy.

Get a riftblade spec, it's seriously helpful on regulos and other long disconnect fights. I can help you build your spec and show you the rotation when I have time. IGN is same as here so just send me mail or message me in-game if you have any questions.

The reason I switched from NA to EU though is that the shard is almost completely dead during peak hour EU (although the guild is still active at that time, I assume with EU folks). Zaviel on EU shards is by far the most populated.

Patch day!

"RIFT 2.4: Hotfix #6 10/16/13

RIFT STORE
* Thanks to new Ascended technology, you can now browse the store while you're dead!

DUNGEONS AND INSTANCES
* The mobs in Normal Storm Legion dungeons have had their health and damage reduced.

INFINITY GATE
* Breaker X-1:
- To reduce load screen times during the encounter, the "Core" room has been relocated.

PLANEBREAKER BASTION
* Planebreaker Abominus:
- Should now reset properly when a wipe occurs.
- Growing Calamity: Now does less damage.
* Inyr'Kta:
- Aggressive Infection: Willno longer be cast on targets afflicted with Intensifying Anguish.
* The trash mobs throughout the instance have had their health reduced by 20%.
* The reward for completing the Planebreaker Bastion artifact 'Secrets of the Planes' set will no longer vanish when acquired. The vanity item now has a cooldown and will persist on the player. It must be used at least once in order to grant the achievement.

REALM OF TWISTED DREAMS
* The Night Terrors achievement is now easier to acquire.
* Reduced the aggro radius of the Lil' Luggos and Bugsplat Sprouts which could aggro players and obstruct recovery from a failed attempt.


CRAFTING
* High-level crafting dailies once again provide the correct reward boxes and chests.


ITEMS
* The weekly cap for Empyreal Slayer's Mark has been increased to 16,000."

Bolding mine- The biggest complaints from Monday, right? Yay!

I have Bladedancer questions. Currently, the best I can pull is something like 15k single target, but it'll drop off after a time. Apparently, I'm not doing something right!

My current rotation looks something like this:
Flash of Steel>Binary>Blade and Soul>Dauntless
QS>BS>PS>BS>Double and repeat a billion times until dauntless falls off

In between that, I'm sprinkling Double Coup, Fated Blades, Dualism, and Blade Tempo in about that order. For buffs, I've got Virulent Poison, Leeching Poison, and Combat Prep.

I'm stumped. Help please?

I'm still having trouble deciding what class to play (52 rogue, 48 mage and war, 32 cleric), since I like being able to do anything, but I'm finding that having a gently caress off big 2 hander really appeals to me. Anyone have any advice re: war or cleric?
I'll probably never raid, if that's a concern, and I enjoy tanking and healing as much as DPS. I really wish war or cleric had a support soul that played as much fun as bard or tac, but I can't get over how much I hate rogue weapons and armor.
Also, anyone have links to guides that might explain why defiler is so important, or how to play beastmaster?

When I came back to the game regularly, I had all 4 classes at lvl 50. I finally stayed with my cleric and got him to 60 first. I just got my warrior to 60 last week. If you like the 2 hander play style, Shaman and Druid are great now. I leveled extremely fast from 58 to 60 with both builds. I leveled my warrior with the Warlord/Champ solo build and it was also a lot of fun and almost indestructible.
I would say that Cleric though would be your best of the 2. You get great dps build as well as Tank and Healing builds that will cover all your playstyles. Of course, there is a warrior healer build coming out soon, not sure how that will be though.

Aside from gear stats it doesn't really matter whether warriors or clerics or mages use 2-handers or 1-handers.

Well, you probably want to use the dances in order of Fated Blades, Dualism and Double Coup after your BaSP (FB is the big scaling one and should shoot your DPS through the roof, Dualism works best if you change your rotation to 4 second blocks with getting 5 combo points and a finisher by using QS>BS>QS or BS>PS>BS, and DC is decent but not great as far as damage goes), and ideally you don't want to use Blade Tempo at all, so if you do have to, clip it when BaSP comes back off CD.

I've just been hearing nothing but Vandee going on about how we have no warriors, so v0v. I also keep thinking you play a rogue for some reason. God forbid I make assumptions when I hear nothing but how we're missing all the warriors in guild chat and in mumble.

Sorry about my flaky attendance lately. Work has been an utter nightmare lately and I've been working late almost every day of the week. I'd go ahead and count me out for raids for at least another week, maybe two. Hopefully things will be settled down and I can get back to being around. Again, sorry about this.

It looks like Nysyr's and dots are effected by Zealotry/Fanatic's Faith, but don't consume any stacks. Is that how it's always been? That makes Fanat/BoD/Nysyr's/Scourge/Vex more powerful than I'd thought. It probably isn't worth it to try to use DW with FF, because the initial hit should take a stack away.

From what I've seen, Nysyr's will consume a stack if it crits on the first tick, but I may be wrong. There is a reason that the guide recommends Fanaticism, Instant BoD, Nysyr's during fights (on fight open, what you have). No clue on whether stacks affect dot crits, and base crit can be so high in raids that it can be hard to tell.

I'm kind of frustrated by how much my framerate varies from fight to fight, since it leads to things like my dps ranging from 7k-ish to 13-ish depending on the situation. I really don't want to have to switch to low quality renderer, since I can do anything up through 10 mans fine without loving around too much with my settings, and I'm lazy and don't want to have to restart my client every time I go from 20 man mode to anything else. Any suggestions on non-obvious ways to get better performance out of this game?

How do I get the rest of the Centurion set? I apparently got half of it from subscription and now I got the same half in the mail for loyalty. I check my veteran's reward vendor and apparently I need another few months of veterancy. Does that mean I need to buy Patron or is it included in the 54k loyalty thing as well?
