REPORT! ( hows your specs working out? )

[Lyonheart]

I know most of us are busy playing, but take a moment when you can and let us know whats working for you!

My bards are more than I expected! I fear they are a tad too good. DPS is ok,,good enough, but the healing of stacked bards is off the hook, and might get the nerf bat! If it does not, well.. WOOWHOO! I went down to 4 because i want to run smooth, and 4 is great! I have been doing great in PvE and PvP so far. I will report back as i level. I know other classes get better CCs and such later on.. but I get a ton of tricks as well, so well see.

i'm just single boxing it, tried a conjurer/elementalist combo i think, which burned down things pretty fast, and then a healer, haven't gotten onto the server we all are using yet because of the 2 hour wait time.
Very cool game so far though

Single boxing a cleric right now but this build has nice dps and is virtually un-killable.

I've been 3-boxing with 3 warriors spec'd ritblade/reaver/warlord.
I normally play with another warrior who's spec'd primarily reaver.

Up to level 22 atm and loving it. I did some 3-boxing with 3 clerics in beta, and I'm missing the healing. But wearing plate and with a warrior hit point pool, it takes a lot to kill me. Unfortunately the 5th we were going to play with, who was going to play a healer, hasn't shaken the WOW addiction yet, so I may swap in a rogue before too much longer as a bard/marksman to get some heals and extra buffs.

I'm doing Rogues with 2 roles:
MM/Bard/Ranger - For Rifting, Questing and PVP. Only 8 in bard (healz), 0 in Ranger (pet), the rest in MM. Spam Fan Out most of the time in PvP, and Cadence when something is in range.

Bard/Riftblade/Ranger - For Instance. 8 in Riftblade for enhancing Cadence, 0 in Ranger, the rest in Bard. Just Cadence everything, using either single target or AE finisher, and prosper.

I tried Pyro/Dominator/Elementalist, but they have no way to heal themselves, they can't burn down a single elite before it kills one of them, no snares at this level and their root breaks instantly. I couldn't take out a Major Rift by myself so I think I'll respec them and try agan later I hear Mos has the Mage solution.

[Krago]

I have been 3 boxing as well with:

Cleric ( Sentinel / Justicar / Druid )
Rogues x 2 ( Marksman / Ranger / Riftstalker )

Only level 10 due to sick kids, work busy, etc ...

However, loving it so far and with the above combo killing things is pretty easy.
Need to set up some priority macros tonight to invoke cooldown abilities before spamming the instants.

A friend of mine is single boxing a melee based rogue.

[Bloodcloud]

started over yesterday, Dualboxing two Mage: (Warlock/Necro/Chloro)

Had a brief look at melee teams, but follow works a bit different in Rift than in wow. I think that the follow range/distance is a big further than in Wow.

There is also no IWT. How do you guys manage Melee teams ? Or keeping track of combo/attack points ?

I also figured that the druid build I have is Macro Heaven, with all the instant abilities having a cooldown. How do you guys manage the multiple instant casts and different long casts ?

Just looking for inspiration
