Why. Why do they do updates during EST primetime. This one isn't even necessary in terms of a game breaking bug!

Azaael posted:Been having a lot of fun in the game again, I'll say that much. Trying to get my warrior to 60(he's almost 55 at the moment, I played a bit at SL's release but then ended up swamped by games and then a lengthy trip so it was put on the back burner). Been going between a Warlord leveling spec which is very survivable, though not the fastest killing-and the Paragon PvE DPS spec, which kills much faster but it's hella fragile(it's meant to be played in situations where the stuff is being tanked.) I still somehow think that the Paragon spec is doing it for me more though in terms of soloing-I need to be more careful, pulling too much is essentially either running away or dying, and I need to eat every couple fights but it's about +1/3 more DPS than the safe spec. I've tried them side by side and I think glass cannon might be the way I level to 60(though he's a tank main spec actually...I just ran out of patience for round up AoE slow grind-down. I'm wondering if I can cobble together a tanky Champion AoE leveling spec though.) Wait, what? You think Paragon is faster than the 41-35 War/Cha build? I think you're pulling my leg here. Use this for leveling and enjoy killing everything. Fast. Kreczor posted:http://forums.riftgame.com/rift-gen...ng-50-60-a.html

Fried Sushi posted:Why do you say that? I messed around with BM when Storm Legion launched and liked it but the lack of AE while leveling kinda stunk so I switched to the standard warlord build and have continued using that since I came back to check out the F2P. I was under the impression BM was pretty underwhelming in general compared to other souls though. He was referring to BM for raids. deimos posted:Also, welcome back calling-specific trinkets: I have my BM build setup but I need some practice with the actual rotation. If we can run some x spurts I should be good to go after 2-3. Is the gear the same? IE CP > everything?

I got mining, runecrafting and weaponsmithing at 375. I don't have a lot of patterns, but I've been farming the crafting tokens long enough to buy almost any recipe. Send me a mail in-game (@Kreczor) if you need anything done. On that note, am I allowed to take gear out of the GB to turn into RC mats and consequently stick those somewhere as well?

Red87 posted:The new souls already got taken down off Magelo. That was pretty fast, didn't get a chance to look. Step 1. All three tiers of fire, in the third tier only get the necessary upgrades (+str, purple icons, minimize orange and greens, get most blues to 3), and the damage booster (razer edge or w.e). Step 2. Extra planar charges, sink 1-2 in each tree to get the 9. Step 3. Fill War, and get any in tier two that are a must. (All purples, strength, endurance and crit power blues) Step 4. Death or Life, at the end of each there's a spell that can recharge planar points (and since you upgraded fire, you'll get two per use) Step 5. Earth or Air, both give an extra planar charge at the end. The first two steps can be switched around. Alternatively, if you're playing 2h instead of dual wielding, get LIFE instead of fire. That way you'll get the damage booster AND the planar recharge. You can always respec them at the warrior trainer in TB (Or the patron warrior trainer, not sure if he offers it or not). EDIT: Please note, at level 50 you should definitely complete the one-man chronicle to unlock PA. To add onto that, if you have a second character that hits 50, all the experience is cross-account. That means if you have 200 points in PA on your warrior, when your rogue hits level 50 he will have 200 points to spend. Kreczor fucked around with this message at 22:44 on Jun 23, 2013 |

I'm pretty sure the 40% and 80% don't lose any effectiveness past 50. The only ones affected by past 50 are the veteran reward experience pots as far as I know.

shut up gelly posted:did team yolo try kaliban this week? it's probably easier with one tank and a good ranged dps on boulders. and how did goonraiding go? We managed to do Kaliban with me hopping in originally as BM but later tempest. We avoided all the trash somehow, and I was disconnecting most of the time which caused a lot of wipes. It went pretty well during the actual fights though and Antaris got away with the BiS belt afaik.

d3k0y posted:Deimos did you use to play a Warrior on Zul'jin? Eh, the mechanics are fun, the problem I have with it is that it doesn't seem like there's a lot of bosses. You have 4 in TDQ, 5 in EE and 4 in FT. You have to farm those for weeks before you can get into GA which has another 5, but requires you to hit every loot pinata to get the hit requirement. Personally, I think there isn't enough content but that's coming from someone who used to raid a lot. If you're not someone who looks to raid every night and want to experience the bosses (mind you, the bosses are a lot of fun), then RIFT raiding is for you. I've also not seen every boss yet either, and there's a huge team requirement. I know I'll be doing it for awhile to come, level up a cleric and come join us. Edit: Now that I think about it, there are quite a few bosses. I just don't like the idea of having them split up between multiple places. I'm more attuned to something like... Hammerknell where you have a bunch of bosses in one raid.

shut up gelly posted:the only reason i bother subbing is because of the patron vials. increasing rep/token gains by 40% is more useful than anything from loyalty. You'd be getting the same bonuses from just buying the 30-day patron passes in the store. Unless Trion addresses the issue of patron pass buyers getting twice the amount of loyalty as subscribers, I highly doubt it's worth it to stay subscribed. Just drop $20/month on credits, buy a 30-day and some cool skin or something.

I know I'm leveling but I'm 35 and the best outside of some tiny upgrades since 20 has been the PvP 2h mace and the 30/40 mace is insanely expensive and probably not worth the time spent grinding. Machineelves and myself are both level 375 in weaponsmithing. Just drop a line when either of us are on and we'll make you something.

Daerc posted:Lots of packs can be avoided by the tried and true 'run the gently caress past it because it doesn't drop anything and is literally just in the game to waste your time because whoever designed it is a complete and total rear end in a top hat' method. Only need to kill 3 packs to fight the first two bosses. Nope! Get Tsu to run up the stairs after the first boss and drag the mobs to the side while the rest of us get to the rightmost bridge, then we soulwalk across! Only gotta kill the mobs right before the first boss as far as I know, the ones beside the second boss we never did when I was there.

kzin602 posted:How worth it are the Storm Legion souls? I am currently playing a Warrior and a Cleric and I am not seeing any recommended leveling builds that use SL souls. Are they better for endgame or is it a bias because fewer people have access to those souls? The warrior soul (tempest) is the only decent ranged soul for them. It's not required for raiding, and most of the time I roll riftblade, however there may come a time where you're required to go tempest for extra ranged dps or the crit buff. I'm not so sure about clerics though.

Another Crucia kill last night, 9 attempts just like last week (and we got her down to 1mil on our first attempt!). Just a few notes on the fight, from a DPS perspective. Phase 1: -Melee dps should stick to the outer part of the ring until Hedo/Dongs gets agro. He's a little wonky and has a cleave so it's best to stay far away. -We did great on the turrets, getting the first turret at ~60% on the big golem and the second one coming up around 15%. It's best that we continue to slow down dps on the bigger one at about 20% since without perfect timing of a flare/vandee purging we won't be able to get it down in one turret rotation. -If you get targeted by the bigger robot (the last one), don't stand near the tanks. Go off to the side and run around so the AE won't hit anyone. -Little robots were done great. -I think only one person died to bridge boss which is one less than last week so... progression! Phase 2 (Including AE and tempest): -DPS was good and the healers seemed to be on top of things. -I'm not sure if the orb closer to the boss deals more damage since it's meant for tanks, but if it does melee dps should be stacking at max melee range. She has a huge hitbox so it shouldn't be a problem. -AE phase went pretty smoothly, most times getting adds down to at least 5% or dead by the time tempest came up. -Have to be on top of interrupts on the tempest, especially the first concussive cast. -Stand in the green until one of the tanks gets hit by Crucia. Phase 3: -Don't drop laser circles in the middle. As soon as you get targeted run to the edge of the platform. Once it drops, go right outside the first circle and drop the second, repeat for the third. -As soon as the tank swap is activated everyone should be killing the tank who's controlled. -Lasers are a bitch, but get a lot harder if you're sitting in the middle. -Break Free can be used on some of the stuns. -Don't go anywhere on the sides/in front of the boss. If the taunt doesn't go off as planned you can get cleaved or breathed on. So, great job last night. Got some good loot and not completely useless stuff from Crucia either.
