View Full Version : Rift - High Level PvE is Not for Boxers

I'm in a raiding guild and I have a 5 box crew. I've done all the expert dungeons (all Dungeons in the game through all level are available as expert dungeons once you hit lvl 50). Depending on soul build my Warrior is 11k HP 10k armor Warrior.

Rift is simply not boxing friendly for PvE once you hit 50. You can do normal CC/AP but that's it - forget about the expert dungeons. There are a small number of bosses you can box, but they are spread out across the dungeons.

I'd also say some of the leveling is painful if you are questing. Most of the quests are chains leading on to other chains. A lot of them are real suck collect quests with not enough item spawn points. Occasionally it's taken over an hour to do one quest.


This is just PvE I'm talking about.

just saying its not possible or boxing friendly doesn't give much input. You should try to provide specific examples of why and how :)

Ive ran almost all the experts on my rogue tank at lvl 50 and i would say most of the teir 1s you can farm boxing wont be able to alot fo the t2 till maybe you get some t2 gear from farming plaques from t1s. unles your good at movment i know alot of t2s are aoe debuff pull ins dead type stuff like RD first boss for 1. but if there is a will there is a way. if u get gear i think its doable but hard. Im up for the challenge on my boxing team once they get there. atm they are almost lvl 30.
So far every fights been good. IT was a joke DsM was hard on last boss till i figured something out. Dsm last boss if i use all ranged 4 out of 5 times he throws the crystall at a ranged person some time i never have to move the tank. so i position the ranged then pull with tank get tank in spot and just control a dps. then i just switch screens to who ever gets the red crystall and move them. and keep spaming keys as i move. its worked very well i went from 24 to 28 in one day farming dsm and now i have nice gear and its even easier.

Didn't people say this about Wrath and Cata in Wow?

From what I have experienced in T1 experts solo play i would say boxing the content is very doable.
Haven't found one boss that made me go "no way could box that"
