So since they completely retooled the Cleric healing souls, what are they for now? Warden for raid, Purifier for tank, and Sentinel for PvP or something?

Speaking of MoH, since Justicar hybrids are crap now from the sounds of it, is there anything remotely similar to how they used to play, or is it pretty much pick your dull Holy Trinity role and go do that now?

Thumbtacks posted:These screenshots make it look an awful lot like Tera. Other than the combat (which I'm guessing isn't like Tera because not much is), how similar is it? The core game mainly WotLK-era WoW mechanics plus GW2's random events. It's been called "WoW done right" and probably the most concise description would be that gameplay-wise, it's what WoW would have been if Blizzard was much more adventurous with features and QOL improvements, but the core combat, trade, crafting, and travel mechanics are very obviously drawn from WoW. The cash shop isn't pushed much at all, the only really important thing in it are the SL souls, which you can get away with ignoring unless you're trying to PvP as a warrior. The soul system is basically a mega-expansion of WoW's pre-pandas talent system. It used to allow for some interesting customization, but the expansion has railroaded pretty much every tree into 61-point builds, so it's more like having 36 different primary paths. Class diversity is almost the same as WoW (which has 34), except with less rerolling. The setting is really bland. The art style is basically random H.R. Giger poo poo on top of random fantasy poo poo, and the dragons are basically an assemblage of Saturday morning cartoon villains that just pull another random plot out of their rear end every week. Or they're dead, in which case their cult is pulling random plots out of their rear end, which is the same thing. They've improved on this a bit with the expansion, taking things less seriously and investing a bit more in joke characters like Atrophinius and Auram. It's competently-made and has a ton of random QOL stuff, which is the best thing it has going for it, but the reason I keep mentioning WoW is because it plays a lot like WoW. If you hated WoW's combat, raid progression, level curve, and need for 20 key-binds, you won't like Rift. If you liked WoW but wish there were more options of things to do at any given time, you'll probably enjoy it. OneEightHundred fucked around with this message at 09:00 on Oct 25, 2013 |

Thumbtacks posted:I made like a cab/inq/sent combo that's working pretty well...decent healing and the AoEs work well with the dots. If you're willing to sink the money into SL souls, Defiler is pretty much PvE easy mode for clerics though. They'd be PvE easy mode if they only had Beacon of Despair or Explosive Growth, but they have both, so there's pretty much no reason to ever die on one. quote:That being said, I'm not entirely sure I'm enjoying it.

Hugoon Chavez posted:Is the "energizer" cleric build still the best for leveling, or should I go Druidicar? It's a pretty good 0-pointer now, but if you want lazy leveling, you should either just roll a Druid for the pet, or roll Defiler because dying as a Defiler with both Beacon of Despair and Explosive Growth at your disposal is borderline impossible.

Egeus posted:Hi. New clerics, read this. I updated an older post since clerics changed a bit since way back when. Macro Frozen Wrath and Icy Blow to one button because Frozen Wrath is skipped if the debuff is already applied. Don't put GS on it though because there's some wonky poo poo related to the 30% check being lag-prone and preventing the skill queue from working. I'd have to run some long-term tests, but Massive Blow so severely dwarfs everything that isn't Frozen Wrath that it's probably #2 priority to have it on cooldown all the time (i.e. it's probably higher-priority than LH). In particular, if you're one attack away from it being off cooldown and have Frostbite, you probably want to use a non-physical attack to keep Frostbite up and hit Massive Blow immediately. Even if that's not true, you should probably do it anyway because if you get forced out of melee range, you can't use Massive Blow, but you can use LH/FW. Ekkehard's Grasp doesn't proc Frostbite, but Lightning Hammer and Eruption of Life (which are both ranged) do. OneEightHundred fucked around with this message at 06:21 on Nov 28, 2013 |

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.

King Dead posted: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." 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. StumblyWumbly posted: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.

Apparently if you want to look Christmas as gently caress, and already have a santa hat (or will have one soon, in the coming weeks), get one of: - Royal Robe of the Fallen, reward for completing Expert Empyrean Core for the first time - Awakened Chemist's Robes, reward for completing the Lost in Transit quest in Kingsward - Empyreal Robe, which you can get from the Adventure Dealer in Tempest Bay (near the hunt/raid rift daily NPCs) for 6300 Empyreal Sourcestone for the base item and upgrade. Use red dye primary, green dye secondary. OneEightHundred fucked around with this message at 05:28 on Dec 4, 2013 |

MrTheDevious posted:Right on, thanks! I just remember my cleric having one button for single target and one button for AoE and I mashed the appropriate one as fast as possible. It was way back when Rift was first released though. Definitely going to download and give it another try I think there are still a small number of brain-petrifying single-button specs (Riftblade), but Shaman needs 4 right now for a basic rotation and is considered to be on the dumber end of the scale. I haven't played Harb but it sounds like the spec for people who thought WotLK feral DPS was fun.

Repeating a helpful PSA: The dungeon finder has a weird bug/quirk, if you queue for heal+support+DPS then you'll more often than not get slotted into a DPS or support role, and much more quickly than you would if you queued as DPS or support. Today I had the queue pop for DPS in under a second. Basically, if you want to DPS, queue as heal/support/DPS, and if it pops with the heal role, decline and requeue.

Tip of the day: When doing a Hailol foothold with the dog on a cleric, a.k.a. the one that gives a shitload of rep, switch to a Shaman spec and turn Furious Assault on so you can spam Pet Pup 50% more.

Druid is really lazy like every other pet spec, but Defiler is probably the king of being impossible to die with while still doing damage. It'd be impossible to die with just the beacon or just explosive growth, but it has both, and then at 60 you get a go invincible button. (Inquisitor is far from invincible, but actually gets pretty survivable at 60 too because you can reset the Judicial Privilege CD)

There are ways around the design focus limitations like making some options so painfully attractive for PvP that it limits the number of things that need to be balanced, but the entire well is poisoned by the whole WoW-like mentality. They can't entertain the grind-for-rewards and character-as-investment crowds by forcing players to grind away rank and character level handicaps while simultaneously trying to imply that the competition is fair, and they can't make interesting gameplay when fights devolve into sticking a minus sign between incoming damage and healing and occasionally slapping the controls out of players' hands for a few seconds.

The promotion for Well-Spun Hats ended >2 years ago so they might be on the rare side now. I have no idea how much one would be worth now though. It gives you (or whoever you sell it to) this thing:  If it still works, there's a "redeem code" thing in account management somewhere.
