So after playing around in the game for awhile I found myself liking the Tactician Rogue for PvP since PvP seemed like it was always just a big zerkfest and currently have one at level 22.

The early levels I felt like a boss being healed by my pocket healer cleric and pushing back the zerk however now that there seems to be healers and shields everywhere I don't feel like Im making a dent in anyone.

Can some people who are in the 60s PvP bracket shed some light on this for me?
Does a Tactican Rogue's damage end up being able to burst through a shield and actually hurt someone or did I end up falling for a noob trap gimmick spec?

If I feel for the noob track maybe you guys can help me find that Calling/Soul Combo that feels right for me. Back when I was playing WoW Lich King I fell in love with the Warrior, did not matter what spec(I did tend to lean towards Fury PvP) I was playing I loved it all. The idea of charging into someone and blowing them up then jumping onto the next target was just to much fun.

TL;DR - Think I may have feel for a noob trap gimmick build. Looking for some confirmation from end game PvPs and maybe a new calling/soul combo. ]]> Wasabicannon http://forums.riftgame.com/rift-general-discussions/pvp-warfronts/360103-pvp-calling-souls-did-i-fall-newb-trap-gimmick-build.html PvP Server Cross Shard Issue http://forums.riftgame.com/rift-general-discussions/pvp-warfronts/360084-pvp-server-cross-shard-issue-new-post.html Fri, 24 May 2013 22:58:01 GMT No promises, but we've managed to get one of our newer engineers to start taking a look into the issue and seeing if its addressable in a reasonable time frame.

The start of MMO pvp death was , when some genius decided adding a PVP stat to gear was a good idea thus making PVP gear and PVE gear a totaly seperate thing. problem started in WOW and kinda just became the norm in most MMO's (i could be rong i didint play EQ) but when BC came out they added res gear (res=valor) wich basicly casued all PVP minded player to up and quit raiding sit in town and troll and que.

I miss pvp , i dont wanna farm 2 sets , i like RAIDING getting new items and beating on my fellow player with it , it added to the thrill of getting LOOT in raid , the issue WOW had was that they added Tier 2, then AQ40 set then Tier 3 , all with out updating PVP lootable for those who didint wanna raid , thus there was no OPTION once your server had super raid geared guilds , u could not compete by just doing PVP ,all they needed to do was add tiered pvp gear like is done now just with a pvp TANK stat on it,

I only mention WOW cause it seems like it is ware design team look for a baseline in creating there own games , i do see a need for a set of Equipment to be earned threw PVP , but that set should not only be usable in PVP nor should my pve gear only be usable in pve , but well its is. u added hit raiting to weapons ? why if not to give people who pvp the option to pve , i think that PVP gear should be HEAVY on stats needed in PVP like HP --CRIT , and for that its gets lower stats like str,dex,wis,intel then pve gear, MIX AND MATCH great stuff. lets face it best weapons in the game come from PVE but now there usless in pvp cept WORLD PVP and u know how much we all love that after bangin head on desk while doing the 2 hr conquest.

i know lotta haters will post here go ahead , i just speaking my mind and giving my 2 cents

so in short i hate VALOR or PVP only stats ruins the over all game and splits the players in 2 grps PVPers and PVErs , on going joke on all shards is either PVE whats that or PVP what that, depending on what you consider your self

Globalling people with 5 Bound Fates is a perfectly legitimate way to play.

Will free 2 play Port Scion evolve into 4 pilots per faction, 5 clients per pilot? I know this sounds like an extreme notion right now but given what we've been told thus far about the changes, it could very easily become the norm in less than a year. After all, they no longer will have to pay for the game 5 times or maintain 5 subscriptions.

That bound fate sound effect gets pretty annoying as is, imagine 20 of them going off. ]]> seanjuan1015 http://forums.riftgame.com/rift-general-discussions/pvp-warfronts/359834-free2play-multiboxing.html WE nerf and range change http://forums.riftgame.com/rift-general-discussions/pvp-warfronts/359806-we-nerf-range-change-new-post.html Thu, 23 May 2013 00:53:34 GMT How big is the nerf in damage?

I don't care who you are, if you're my friend or buddy, I am calling you bad. No, I don't care if you top the heal charts every match, you are a waste of a slot for someone who could be playing Sent or Defiler and actually saving people's lives. Actually, it's even worse than being a waste of a slot as you waste the other clerics mana by forcing them to keep you alive since warden is terrible under focus fire (not even focus fire is necessary, just one good DPS will drop a Warden in seconds. I do it all the time). Warden is essentially nothing but a glorified bard.

2) If you play a tank spec in a WF, you are not only bad, but terribad. I was in a Codex while ago where we had 5 (count them 5) tanks. Yes, we got rolled. A tank is just as bad if not worse than a Warden. If you are a warrior you should be playing 61 RB. Sorry, but if you don't like that, then don't queue. If you are a cleric, you should be playing Sent, Defiler or Inquisi. Leave your shaman and Justicar crap in the dungeons. And worst of all is rogue tanks. If you are a rogue and are in guardian phase in a WF, you are terrible and an embarrassment to the rogue calling. Read the freaking tooltip for guardian phase, please. Really, go read it right now. (Worst of all are the tacts and bards I see running around in guardian phase. I really feel like punching my monitor).

3) Champions. Why? Why do you play Champion? I just don't get it. Not only does that windmill attack look stupid, but it does crap for damage. Champion does nothing RB cannot do better. If you play Champ, the only thing you are a Champion of is this year's Darwin award.

4) Warlocks. Why? Why do some mages insist on playing a high Warlock build? Some mages (who used to be good) are just stuck back in 1.6. Those days are gone. The days of Chlorolocks abusing devouring shadows to wipe an entire raid in 3 seconds (while simultaneously tanking 10 people) are over. If you weren't around back then, then I am sorry, but you missed the fun. A Warlock is to DPS what Wardens are to healing (fluff). If you are a mage, you have 4 choices:

1) Pyro
2) Dom
3) Chloro heals
4) The G-T-F-O build

I'm sorry to all you good players for making this post. If people listen, then WF kills will be harder to come by. Of course, they won't listen and will continue to be free kills for the rest of us. ]]> AceinHole http://forums.riftgame.com/rift-general-discussions/pvp-warfronts/359774-got-get-something-off-my-chest.html macro power http://forums.riftgame.com/rift-general-discussions/pvp-warfronts/359743-macro-power-new-post.html Wed, 22 May 2013 18:20:42 GMT So I was testing around with macros and I couldn't find a way to make a macro for Touch the Light and Flashover in the same macro to be used without placing a global in between them.

It is another "coming back to Rift for f2p" thread =P Just a few quick questions...

-When i left i was max prestige with max PvP gear. I was trying to look through patch notes and find anything that talked about expanding of PvP ranks/gear with the lvl 60 expansion, but i did not find anything. I assume there has to be a new set that was put in? Is my old set completely useless now? Where can i find the items if there is a new set(s)?

-Is seastone the only PvP server left?

-Before i left i had a 110% mount. Is this still the fastest or has it also been outdated?

-New warfronts or same old same old?

-Are the new SL areas PvP hotbeds like the old PvE zones were?

-I opened up my PvP tab and noticed that i was still "Prestige rank 50" and the bar was full. Is this still the cap?


Anyways, i really appreciate if anyone could take a minute to explain some of these things. My wife and look back rather fondly on Rift and are excited for the F2P. Just feeling a bit lost/overwhelmed trying to get the information needed in regards to PvP =)

Thanks!
