What PVP Rift Server on Release? - Lotham Guardian

[Lokked]

I met another 5-boxer on Lotham last night, with the main MsWrathy, and alts MsXXXX.

Hope they don't mind me dropping their name

He was playing some sort of Cleric class.

I tried 5 bards. The heal from Cadence x5 is completely OP at lower levels. MsWrathy informed me it tapers off and loses viability at higher levels, as he/she also tried Bards.

MsWrathy mentioned trying 8 points in Bard (I'm thinking 10 in at least 1 to get run speed buff) for Cadence Heal and the rest in Marksmen for the Ranged damage. We'll see.

Someone mentioned Bard abilities are magic and scale with Spell Power. This makes is difficult to effectively combine bard abilities with other Soul abilities, as I have yet to see any leather gear with spell power.

MsWrathy is Mokoi.

Sounds like Lotham for release is the place to go.

[Lokked]

Interesting.

Well, work sucks. I can't wait to get home and try out the Rogues more! I'm going to try leaving them at 8-12 Bard points (Run Speed + Motif).

Any EU folks have mind set on a pvp server?

I'm in for RIFT, won't be boxing out the gate though.

Pick a PvE server for us boxers and I'll beg my RL friends to join us all there.

I vote for Belmont PvE, really don't care what side... Guardian if I was forced to choose.

Lokked, as far as i know, bard abilities are spells but use attack power/dex/str for damage. let me look it up. Also, how high did he get his bards,, did he spend his points right in the other souls. My bards healing gets better.( they are 27 atm). maybe he was using spell power and not AP/Dex? this is a soul combo that ups cadence dps ( and thus healing ) http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=0M...dqiqskqz.Vhh0h With no ranger you could add something like sab for the ae root and 15% dex, again upping your dps/healing http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=0M...EIdqiqskqz.Vhb

I updated the main post with Lotham - pvp guardian (assuming shards stay the same name/status)

for those going PVE, i'd recommend going defiant in case there are any contested zones as the zerg will allow you to quest/dungeon in peace... mostly.

According to:

I expect Lotham to still be there available for selection, so that's where I'm rolling.

Those were the beta servers. They will put a list out soon. Devs said some servers will change ( names/types ) don't count on anything until the give a list. They are kind of down to the wire. If they do not put it out today, thats only one day notice..kind of lame 8\

That is not to say that they may change their mind and keep the same server names and types though.

Looks like they just put up the list http://forums.riftgame.com/showthrea...ft-Server-List!

Only a few of the beta servers are missing. Lotham is still there, and its PvP
