Callings/Specs for Head Start!

[Malgor]

I still think I'm going Paladin and some kind of cleric build. I took a Paladin to 18 and a Purifier to level 20. I also took a Elementalist to 16.

So I think I'm probably going to go Paladin/Warlord/Champion (for Bull Rush) and Possibly Warden/Druid.

[Krago]

In beta I took a Paladin/Warlord/Reaver to 18 and a Purifier/Justicar/Shaman to 18.

They worked well as melee team, heals were lacking as expected.

This time I have added a third account and I am contemplating:

Warrior or Rogue x 2
Cleric or Rogue specc'd as Bard for buffs and heals on the above two.

I won't be able to play until the kiddies are in bed, so, hopefully the small amount of time I will have to play will be productive. At any rate I am happy I can now starting playing for real and be able to work though things.

I'll be boxing two chars to start with, would two bard/bow-types work or is that not enough buffs, healing, and dps?

I've been planning to go either warrior tank/ cleric heals, or double cleric dps/offheals, but I've also been thinking about trying the bards everyone is so excited about.

Not a big PvP'er, I'll focus mostly on PvE, so maybe that would swing the choice away from bards?

Three were perfect, im sure two would be great as well.

Say you setup a new key that is activated by pressing Space Bar. It only has one step. That step is to send, say, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 to each window. Now you go into Rift and setup 5 different abilities in the 1-5 spots. Now, when you hit Space Bar Rift will ALWAYS try and do the 1 ability first. If it's not available or is on cooldown, it does 2. Then 3 etc. In this way you can place cooldown-locked abilities that you ALWAYS want to do first. It's basically a perfect priority system.

But i use my space bar to jump!!! Sounds like a mouse button spammer for me 8) Also since your using ISBoxer to spam them, i would make new hotkeys that are not in those spots on the hotbar, that way you can keep those for other stuff!

Sticking with my bard/marksman/ranger build i think it will be the fastest to level with!

DITTO!

I played a paly and Warden in beta 4-5. I loved them! Warden has hots, you can get one of the other souls for direct heals, druid for pet. And warden has an insta cast ranged dps that aids in killing stuff faster. You will be happy

LOL - Wolfsbane que at 10:01 = 917, about 43 minutes remaining......... woot :P

I ended up going with the following: (Souls are not in order)

1. Paladin/Reaver/Warlord
2. Warden/Purifier/Sentinel
3. Marksmen/Bard/Ranger
4. Pyro/Chloro/Dominator
5. Warlock/Chloro/Dominator


im killing things way to fast to know if its good setup or not at the moment, also the DPS averages around semi evenly right now, except the damage done over the period of the fight vary drastically.

Also i noticed that my Warrior and Healer, using instants, are topping the Rift contribution charts, over my actual DPS classes, im assuming due to instant speed spells they both use.

Is anyone else running a mixed 4-5 man group out there? and if so how are you liking it?

[Krago]

I ended up with:

Marksman/Ranger
Marksman/Ranger
Sentinel/Warden

I like it very much, kill things quickly and now that I have the two Ranger pets I have a small army.
I like how the pets charge the mob I attack without me explicitly having to tell them to do so ( I know I still do it though ).

I am going to spec my Cleric for light tanking once I get my third soul.

I was having so much fun and killing was going so well, that I still haven't spent my 6 soul points from leveling up. Anyone else forget to spend their Soul points?

[Meeo]

I have not spent my last several skills points on a 2nd/3rd soul yet on my mages, im just not quite sure what to use them on either the dominator or chloro side yet, im not even 100% sure ill stick with those souls on them.

Updated:

I rolled 2 druids up to 10 and then wanted to try something shooty so did two Marksmen / rangers up to 10.

I now think im going to combine the two lol.

Now Im thinking:

Druid / justicar for satyr dps
Ranger / bard for buffs and an additional pet.

Well see how it goes!

[Lyonheart]

I leveled 5 Bards to around level 13ish. I like the synergy of all bards! 5 ended up being a little too much for my PC atm. So I'm doing 4 for now, and 4 is very smooth on low settings. I have my main turned up a tad so it looks better. I have won 7 out of 8 WFs so far. Stacked bards are OP and i would not be surprised at all if they nerf them soon.

Not sure what i will try next.

[Mosg2]

I decided to go with my gut and do the Necro/Chloros. So far it's overpowering.
