Lets talk about Rift teams as a multiboxer.

[Lokked]

Rogues w/2 Roles have been great in the early/mid levels.
Marksmen / 8 Bard / 0 Ranger for Quest/Rifts/PvP
Bard / 8 Nightblade / 0 Ranger for Instances (Main could be specced as Riftstalker / 8 Bard / 5 Ranger)

Classes that use Instant casts will get better Contribution in Rifts, and Marksmen's Fan Out is a great AE Instant ability.

Why Rogues? Energy is OP to Mana. Mana can be drained, the mana recover tools in the game right now are brutal. Clerics get mana drained by various classes and have a tough time recovering. There is no (that I know of) way to drain energy, and it recovers so fast, who cares. Rogues can heal themselves with Cadence, they get pets that root the target with their charge ability, they have the longest range in the game, with their Marksmen abilities + Talent Spec.

Based on Forum Feedback, Mages would be very viable at 44+, as they get Ground of Strength (?) which is cast at their feet, and as long as they don't move, this effect grants immunity to ALL CC, reduces incoming damage by 30%, and grants all their attacks a 30% chance to stun. You might hate your life while leveling them up, though.

Right now I have 3 Sabs at level 5 (lol), but I can put two combo points on the board and do the execute and they are dead.

Once I get them to the point where they can heal, (do bard heals stack), they will be pretty good. Not sure of the final tree I want them in though.
