Really nice vid. Thanks for posting the link.

Did you purposefully say "tank classes" instead of "warrior archetype"? Not all of the warrior classes are tanks if that's where the confusion lays. Some are damage, some have pets, others tank magic, others are generalists, etc.

I meant warrior archtype. I already noticed that some wont be able to tank properly. But I dont know yet which ones will and which not, so until then they are all possiblle tank classes to me ;)

Man that looks awesome.

That's 7 out of eight classified right there so who has the other one pegged?

The one you're missing is beastmaster. Probably exactly what it sounds like, think about the movie. If it's anything like that i'll be rocking a beastmaster for sure.

Void Knight looks like it will be really good to mix with Champion for PVP. The reflecting damage back skill has PVP all over it.

i also see it as a nice agro generator for aoe tanking.. i use imp spell reflect on my warrior in wow for this verry reason.. nothing says hate me like a mage mob getting his 3 fb's reflected back at him.

I wonder how that will work with PVE bosses. One of the things that irritated me about WOW was how some abilities didn't work on or were pathetic against bosses. It was kind of like: Are not bosses the point of the game? And yet my wonderful abilities don't work on them? Oh its just a heal and dps race again.

To be honest, WoW was dumbed down to the public when it came to boss fights, I sure hope they make "using your brain" a required tactic on boss fights in Rift. I'd like to see lots of mechanics being used, I don't care if the last boss is close to impossible to kill, I enjoy the whole idea of beating the snot out of him with my friends.

I am DEFINITELY going riftbade for one soul tree, that's for sure... gonna be super sweet!

Yeah, Void Knight is a defensive tank, with reduction to magic damage and all that fun stuff, so it goes well with tanks, and dps...thats all I can say

Rift Blade:
Burning Blood (5 points) - When you are struck by a critical hit in melee combat, your burning blood deals back 16% (per level) to the attacker as Fire Damage.

Oh gawd.

So apparently, I can only go 36 points into Champion.

Because this is pretty much mandatory for PvP.

Champions are going to kill themselves when attacking another Warrior with 15 pts in Rift Blade... unless they are able to stack magic resist in some viable fashion.

Interesting...

Rogues are screwed, btw.

Though it's nice to know that with this whole switchy mcswitch thing in Rift, I can still go back to 51 pts when I want to really really really hurt someone.
