Ok so as the title emplies i'm curious as to what people think these archtypes should be. I understand rift throws msot preconcieved notions out the window but i've always looked at like this:
Warrior: High DPS and tanking abillities
Mage: High DPS but very low defense
Mage w/ pet: low-med dps and defense with pet doing med dps
Rogue w/ sword: High dex and high dps at beginning of battle that drops as fight continues and med defense
Rogue w/ bow: High dex and med defense with med-high DPS and usually a med DPS pet
Cleric: Low-Med DPS with med-high defense and good solo-abillity due to high healing lvls.
I understand that rift has sort of a mix and match style inwhich theres subclasses in each archtype that serve as mixes with other clases but i've personally felt that it mostly plays like listed above but people seem to complain alot about particular classes, usually mages and rogues.
Right now i'm running cleric but i've spent time with other arch's and so far i think they've matched up fairly well to what i've always seen in mmos, with the exception that the rogue seemed a little weak and so did the mage but both times i was still fairly low lvl and as far as i've seen high lvl characters looked as strong as i had figured they would be. So is it just me? Are my thought on regular archtypes wrong? And i mean that honestly. I'd love to hear your opinions.
