Everything is changed and I'm confused!
I've played RIFT since closed beta for 2 years (pretty much until it went F2P).
My main was a pyromancer mage and chloro support for raids, and I invested alot, and I mean ALOT in that toon.
Achievements, mounts, companions, reputation, crafting and collections. I grinded my *** off to get some of the stuff I have on it.
Came back and everything is changed. I've read some posts and guides and it seems mages are crappy now. Bad dps (not to mention if you like to be ranged, and not go melee). It's not that I have an issue with starting from zero with a rogue or something, but all my stuff... :(
In WOW you share your mounts and vanity pets etc, which makes it a little less sad to switch a main, but here I have to basically forgo all the hard work I've done.
Any returning ancient mages with some insight? what did you do?
