Rift

Hmm. I just picked up my clerics again and I'm struggling in dungeons.

I'm running tank + 4x Inq/Warden/Cabalist (37/14/0).

The idea is that they all cast hots and kill things but the single target dps feels painfully slow (at level 43).

What kinds of specs were you running Moog?


I personally run 4 clients on the low render and I don't run at full screen, I do 5 1600x900 overlapping and then I have a nice wide black dxnothing window behind on which I project quest trackers, cast bars, dialogue "x"s and a snippet from the chat log (so that I can see the "Is following" and "Has stopped following" messages).

Hmm... I've not played in a while (the beauty of F2P) as I've been busy with other games and, logging on this morning, notice that all my (preset) specs are now listed as "retired", so there have obviously been some changes in the last couple of months!

I've only ever used pre-set specs, intending to customise when I hit 60 (Clerics are 52 atm).

So, I've tried to find links to these specs but it's so bloody hard to find Rift info!

For questing, I run

• 5 x DPS "Arbiter - retired" - 15 Cabalist / 61 Inquisitor / 0 Justicar

they mainly nuke stuff with "Soul Drain"/"Bound Fate" AOE, or "Aggressive Renewal"/"Sanction Heretic" on single targets - stuff just melts, outside


For dungeons, I go with...

• Tank - "Seraphic Guard - retired" - 9 Shaman / 61 Justicar / 6 Inquisitor
• Healer - "Flame Keeper - Retired" - something like 30 Sentinel / 44 Purifier / 0 Warden + 2 points which are missing when I 'preview' the preset in-game; I guess something has been removed!
• DPS - 3 x "Arbiter - retired" - 15 Cabalist / 61 Inquisitor / 0 Justicar

In dungeons, I found it incredibly easy to keep aggro with the Seraphic Guard spec.
Charge in with "Ride the Lightning" or Taunt over with "Provoke" or Pull targets with "Rebuke"
Then spam

#show Strike of Retribution
suppressmacrofailures
mark 14
cast Precept of Refuge
cast Strike of Retribution
cast Bolt of Radiance
cast Massive Blow
cast Strike of Judgment

with "Doctrine of Loyalty" and "Hammer of Faith" used to consume Conviction points and "Righteous Imperative" for AOE Taunt when necessary.

I heal from any client using the Click Box Healer addon and repeater regions to send the clicks to the healer...

"Healing Flare" for an instant small heal
"Healing Spray" for an instant HOT
"Healing Breath" for an instant large heal with CD
"Healing Invocation" for a slow, large heal
"Ward of Flame" for an instant HOT+Shield combo
"Symbol of the Sun" for an instant Shield

And the DPS has a 16s spell rotation applying this sort of thing

Sanction Heretic
Vex
Dark Water
Dark Water
Dark Water
Curse of Discord
Fanaticism
Bolt of Depravity <repeated until the 16s is up, so Sanction Heretic DOT needs to be applied again>

I spent hours at the test dummies working on that rotation but, as there have been a bunch of changes since I came up with it, I expect it to be less than optimal right now.

Hope that's of some help

Seraphic guard is still the only tank preset, they must have just changed some points around.

The only healer preset now is a heavy heavy sentinal build. (61/15), I think I'm going to try and find a build with more mobility.
