Despite my best intentions, I didn’t log into Rift until Thursday evening. It turned out to be excellent timing though since I noticed a guildie was standing next to me when my Mage, Kae, appeared in Meridian. One with a familiar name. A quick check of the guild roster confirmed it was my good friend MMO GamerChick. What are the odds that the first time I log into Rift in weeks that I’m standing next to someone I know.
Any-who, GC and I chatted a bit and she ran me through the cake quest before heading off to bed. I spent the rest of the hour I played restoring my PvE Stormcaller/Elementalist/Dominator role back together. My other two roles (Healer and PvP) were reset as well, but I didn’t bother with them. I want to research Chloromancers before I rebuild my healing role, and I was never really happy with my PvP role so I don’t mind just starting from scratch.
I also checked in on my alts. My Warrior and Rogue were fine but my Cleric was reset as well. Fortunately a reset at level 18 is much easier to deal with than it is at 50 and i quickly had my Shaman/Inquisitor/Warden back up to speed.
So now that my characters are playable it’s time to see the world. With the XP boosts available until the end of the month, I don’t want to spend too much time with Kae, but he’s my main and I want to make sure that any limited time titles or pets that I get, I get for him.
So this weekend I hope to revisit my favorite places in Telara with Kae before exercising my alts and getting some levels on each of them. All three are around 18. I find it easier to switch between classes if I’m always in the same general area. Between rested XP and the half-iversay event bonuses maybe I can get them all up to 28?
Feel free to leave me any suggestions for things to see and do.
Say, which server are you on? And US or EU?
US, Faeblight to be specific.
Damn…
i’m running 4 different specs on my mage, 5 if you count the lower lvl mage i also have. i can’t claim any of these specs are my original work, but i enjoy each of them.
World PvE:
34 Necro/32 Warlock/ 0 Chloro
34 Ele/ 32 Chloro/ 0 Archmage or Chloro
– both are pet builds, both are robust with good single target DPS and decent, if not stellar, AoE, and incredible survivability.
Healing:
51 Chloro/ 15 Archon/ 0 Archmage
– 51 Chloro and pretty much anything else = mage healer. i like Archon for the buffs, but virtually every other soul will work there as well.
Warfront PvP:
51 Dom/ 15 Chloro/ 0 Archmage
– lots and lots of AoE CC, but a bit squishy – but i’m still only rank 2, so i’m doomed to be squishy. the spec *is* pretty fragile 1v1; in fact, i’m just roadkill most of the time. it’s ok in WFs, because you’re rarely alone, and if you are, then no rank or build will save you; it’s got great AoE CC and strong AoE DPS, so you can get KBs and high damage numbers with this build in WFs.
World Pvp/ PvP rifts:
34 Dom/ 32 Chloro/ 0 Archmage
– this build has great great survivability, some decent single-target DPS, and doesn’t sacrifice *too* much CC – i can actually kill people 1v1 in this spec. it’s my choice build for any time i might get jumped by the other side.
