Is there an upgrade to the Flawless Source Machine in the 50-53 levels of SL? These Lycini essences are a big upgrade but I don't want to buy them twice

uhh does it have 4 lesser slots and 2 greater slots? If yes then gratz you have the best source machine (Short of a limited-time available Barnacle Encrusted machine which are BoA).

The three Archon specs to have include 51 archon 58 archon and 61 archon, in order of general to specific usefulness. 58 archon helps when you need to do a bunch of poo poo on the fight (purging/cleansing like Saetos/Twins comes to mind). 61 is neat for having PtP and helps in some fights.

One of those should have dom too, usually 58/18 for ultimate utility.

The big shitdump in that thread is over token vials, when getting token gear substantially faster is a huge boon. The secondary concern is that supposedly BiS essences and capes are buyable through REX as are apparently reputation boosts? I'll be honest I was really hoping it would go with a Dotes or LoL model of you buy purely cosmetic things like man I would pay dope cash to shoot rainbows in Inquisitor but buying in-game stat items just -feels- bad.

It's worse than that with their PTS testing model: it's already been that after you have the current content on farm if there's anything on PTS a hardcore guild will go and "test" PTS content (read: rehearse the raid in test mode to be ready for live). Now it puts more motivation for PTS raiding so that you'll want to have raids "down pat" from PTS so you can efficiently get things down.

My personal hope is that a lot of that doesn't make it to live and they just don't want to reveal what the real cash shop items are but that's probably wildly optimistic and also not in line with what a lot of other players hope.

Edit: also goddamn I hate reading posts by "top raiders" because 90% of them are so loving condescending.

From your posts on that thread I don't think you know what immediately means, most of the gear that would be an upgrade that I saw requires a dumb rep grind, therefore the advantage is decidedly not "immediately available".

Will I be purchasing Barnacles for my alts so I can use my main to load it with precious lessers? Likely.
Will I skip the IS grind to buy those lessers? Most likely not.

AAAAAA That 55 puri build is ronnnnggg, make it 22 sentinel and grab 1 point in merciful appeal.

Also a Justicar build without Pursuit of Truth for 35m is also rong IMHO.

You an add a note to ask me for Justicar info, there are a lot of subtleties that the guide misses. For example there's no mention of the different threat multiplier on SoJ vs. Reckoning, a newbie looking at both abilities will spam Reckoning over SoJ at their heart's content not knowing that SoJ has a much higher threat multiplier.

Oh, hey, guess what - account-wide in Rift does not mean the same thing as account-wide in WoW. When you learn the mount on your alt, that means no one else can have it. Account-wide simply means you could mail it to another character, not that all of the toons on your accounts have it.

I did not know this.

:doh: :downs:

This is wrong. Account wide on Rift means exactly that, every character in the account will get it (even in different servers). What you're talking about is Bound to Account items, when it comes to runes/mounts/collectibles then yeah it'll stay on the character that "eats" it.

Items that are account-wide from the different packs are mailed to every character you make/have made.

Also on that list is missing:

Beach Party posted:

So what is up with the gear and stat scaling when it comes to mentoring for dungeons? I queued up for a standard pre 50 dungeon at level 55 on my rogue to get used to running a full rift stalker build before hitting 60 and i was getting my rear end handed to me by pretty much every trash pull. Do i need to be in epic level tanking gear equivalent to level 55 to be able to mitigate damage decently at level 46? Back when i played before i ran all the expert dungeons just fine but after wiping a few times on trash pulls in standard lantern hook has me scratching my head. Im pretty sure the healer in the group would've rather had an actual level 46 in green gear since his stats would probably be higher than my mentored rear end.

Mentoring to sub-50 is kinda borked. What you should do is manually queue for those dungeons (I recommend Abyssal Precipice, Charmer's Caldera and Caduceus Rise) and you'll be at 55 tanking for a level 48-50 group. It won't be perfect training but at least you'll know where your abilities are. Then after you're comfortable with your run manually queue for storm and eventually move up to your current level dungeons.

Most of my macros are target macros and for those I stack as many things into one macro as possible across different fights.

First time I did a Kain macro (ran without one for the first few times then missed the taunt on the 2nd add in the first phase twice in a row when running two cleric tanks) I did it the wrong way around, GUESS WHAT DIDN'T GET TAUNTED.

Wow, the game really improved since the last time I played it! All these changes.

I tried to make a 2h cleric tank build, can someone who actually knows poo poo about this game look at it, please? I forgot pretty much everything during the long break, I hope it's not too horrible.

Just use the regular tanking build with a 2h, stop trying to make poo poo up, every point in defiler there is p much useless. If grief blight were MUCH lower on the root defiler might be worth it for a quirky tanking build (or if you had gone 12pts for a cleanse I guess), but it isn't and so it's basically trash, spend points in inquisitor or cabalist.

Not to sound like a bitter vet (I am), but we should not be letting people sign up on those raids until they've raided with us at least once and they prove competent. I'm sorry but I don't want to farm content for you to quit 2 weeks later while your incompetent rear end is making us not complete on progression fights.

Not that the people raiding right now are the ~~ best raiders ever ~~ but I'm pretty sure a couple of goons could be worse.

We've had a couple of the F2P goons on raids that have proven they've not even started to look at their characters in any serious manner and have no idea how to play their basic builds, if you want to raid demonstrate an iota of effort in raids and we'll start bringing you to other raids.

I think this needs to be said:

:siren:Bitter vets are bitter:siren:

And here's a few reasons why:
- We give new blood loot when it's a significant upgrade even if the bitter vet won the roll
- Same new blood seems to conveniently forget about bitter vets helping them out and keep loot when they win it against bitter vet
- Exactly the same new blood quits 2 weeks after denying bitter vet loot
- There is a constant stream of new people that come in, get geared, get into raids, get gear then quit.


This has happened far too many times and I wish it'd stopped.

People to whom this has happened (probably missing a few):
- Alistara
- Amory
- Antaris
- Egeus (before he quit the first time)
- Hedonism (does not happen as often, but it's honestly one of the reasons I only tank)
- Loracia
- Mouretsu (he's a good example because it happened to him with a piece of gear three loving times)
- Stampy
- Vandee


So please understand why bitter vets are sometimes bitter, it's not elitism, it's just frustration. Be nice to a bitter vet today.

No if I pass on loot to you it's because I want the raid to be better and it's a tiny upgrade for me, don't fight me on you taking it.
