Well I have a mage and would be epic if I could be a tank lol
***Official Rift Planes of Telara Thread***
- Thread starter Walkerie
- Start date
The mage can already tank, Harbinger+Chloromancer can stand and just AoE and heal all-day long !
The biggest problem I've found with rift since the start is the complete lack of any balance between the classes. The very nature of 'souls' means there will always be OP synergies, although I do love my rogue in PvP

Wasn't really into the game the first time I picked it up at release. But now... I did an all nighter last night for the first time in ages haha. I'm playing mage harbringer and loving it. Only level 27 at the moment but enjoying it.

Can someone explain to me how the crafting rifts work?
Is it best to use it in a high level area and if it is, can I solo it like the normal ones? I'm in a guild with a few friends I know in real life but due to the massive amount of free time I have at the moment it will be weeks until they catch me up so they can't really help me.

I was went on for a quick blast last night and ended up doing 4 or 5 hours, then a couple more this morning. Really enjoying it again.
So was there anyone other than me and Vuvuzela on Bloodiron (Defiant)?
Add Bartholomew (Cleric) and Diamon (Rogue) if you are.

There are a few from The Immortals playing again (I stress the word few) some new players have also joined, but they not the most social, not really fussed, all tho I am really enjoying the game, we all mostly just waiting for WildStar.
I spend most my time gong around killing Guardians
They're all good, all full and you can transfer for free later.

I got back into this last weekend, after finally managing to get hold of customer support to remove my mobile auth, and am really enjoying it again. I got hold of Storm Legion today and am now in the new area(s).
For me, Rift is the best MMO in a long time. All I have to do now is find a decent guild.

Which server are you on?
I agree. It really takes the role out of MMORPG.
Although I can see why they would make this choice to allow every class to perform every role. If you have ever been online during peak time it can take 1 hour+ to get into a Storm Legion expert dungeon as DPS. Allowing me to take the tank role (I don't like healing) would allow me to get into dungeons a lot easier and quicker.
The majority of the player base already has the option of a tank spec, none of them use it. Giving tanking specs to more people won't help the fact that the majority off MMO gamers refuse to tank for whatever reason (personally I love it, partly because everyone else hates it)
It's funny these changes are due to everyone wanting to be a DPs class.
People don't like tanking because it's the hardest role. Healer/DPS are generally easy as a one player game and people love it, tanking is for bosses, most players aren't boss.

It's not difficult in the slightest in a game like RIFT. People are just scared of the responsibility I think.
It's still a lot harder than DPS and healer though. The one thing that stopped me playing WoW was the amount of times my party would get wiped and I'd have to struggle and stress my way through the rest. Although a DK Tank was bloody overpowered in Cata.
Can't see how anyone would want any role other than Tank though, the rest are boring. DPS being the most.

You still have to have a limited amount of awareness but holding aggro in this game is a joke. A warrior tank in vanilla WoW(I never played later versions) was a joy to play, I originally started as a rogue in WoW but switched to warrior to do the smaller 5-10 man stuff and I didn't look back.
I wanted to main as a warrior tank in this game but a friend insisted he wanted to do it, as I generally don't like playing magic classes I went for a rogue instead and to be honest I don't think I missed out on much in doing so.
if any of you guys joining Rift and looking for a guild to kick back in, we playing it again think there is 4/5 from OcUK in, we pretty much only playing till WildStar is released, but who knows.
Send /tell to Araelen, Obern, Churchill or Nemeses for in game invites.

I saw you yesterday in General chat and was like, holy damn, is that actually Nem?
Been playing on Blood Iron since Beta but my guild from back then has stopped playing altogether (so it was strange to see a familiar face, or rather name). I take it I don't need to apply to the site again since I registered for GW2?I saw you yesterday in General chat and was like, holy damn, is that actually Nem?
Nope just pm someone in game, it's funny was playing today in a PvP match and someone said "o there nem barking orders again" he from here as well, will also be joining as soon as he can transfer his toon ....O yeah and we won by the way
