    I'm not in FoH mate; I'm in Europe.

    I continue to find combat parsers to be the best tool for build testing. I'm going to tsart a new thread with the following, so folks don't miss it. NOTE THAT ACT INCLUDES ON SCREEN SPELL TIMER FUNCTIONALITY !!!!!!!!!


    Simple one at RJ :

    For a better, more detailed option, I've just found out that the EQ2 ACT now has a plugin for RIFT.
    Get it and the plugin here :

    Detailed instructions on getting ACT running here :

    Note that ACT includes an on screen spell timer functionality !!!!!!

    Bring up your Spell Timer via the Show Timer button on the ACT program. Right click to toggle the frames on, then right click the Spell Timer window itself.

    <Spell N="Fragmentation Bomb" T="10" R="T" A="F" WV="0" RD="F" M="T" Tt="" FC="-16776961" RV="0" C="Saboteur" RC="F" />
    This is an example of my Fragmentation Bomb ability cooldown timer you saw in the screenshot. In XML format. I'm not really sure how you import it, but I'll try to use it to explain.
    First, add your name to the Restricted Timer White List again. For every ability you make, make sure Restrict Timers To a White List is checked off. This will make sure it's tracking only your abilities.
    •Name the spell Fragmentation Bomb.
    •Timer Period in Seconds: Whatever the cooldown is. I'm fully specced into it, so the cooldown is 10 seconds for me as a level 7ish Saboteur.
    •Warning Period: When it starts flashing at you.
    •Remove timer from view at: When it's removed from the list. I put 0 seconds.
    •Show Radial Timer Display: I always turn this off. Otherwise you get a pie chart timer thing.
    •Allow Timer Mods to Affect This: I have no idea. Just leave it on.
    •Display in Panel A: Check this off. You can have two separate spell timer windows, but for now we're only using A.
    •Display in Panel B: Unchecked.
    •Category: Put your class name. It'll keep it organized.
    •Restrict to category zone or mob: Unchecked. No.

    You should have a working ability timer. Like I said in the screenshot, for stacking DoTs it's a little hard. I managed to do the same thing as I did for Fragmented Bomb with a Nightblade's Fiery Spike, a DoT that stacks three times. After the initial 3 stacks I just watch the timer and make sure I hit it when I have 1-2 seconds left. It auto refreshes to 10 seconds, the DoT's duration, if it sees the DoT is still up.

    Reaver/Pallie or Pallie/Warlord for instances.


    Following builds I got from Zehn at FoH and work well (Pallie/Warlord from 17-50).

    10 into Warlord for Death Grip is a great skill for casters.

    End game :

    Paladin/Warlord can be quite demanding to play. Reaver is not as good a tank, but they are easier to play and give solid AE dmg and AE threat. Basic Reaver/Pallie macro :

    cast disarming counterblow
    cast retaliation
    cast plague bringer
    cast soul sickness
    cast infestation
    cast pacifying strike

    From Zantox, again on FoH :
    Wow -- thanks. I'll try this out.

    NP mate. I'll link to the whole Pallie tank guide, because Zehn is about the best guy I know when it comes to MMO mechanics and theory.

    Like he says, its spam central and it takes some work boxing, but it's a good solid build.
