Lets talk about Rift teams as a multiboxer.

[pinki104]

is there a hunter type class on here with a constant pet ?

im looking to start boxing a 5man mass damage pvp team so if you have any ideas let me know

[cichard]

Rangers have pets mages have pets clerics have pets warrior has pets

[pinki104]

would 5 clerics make a good team ? or would it be best to do 4 cleric 1 warrior

Cleric pets are passive, cannot be controlled (not sure about the Satyr though).

Clerics have a tanking spec (Justicar) which can tank just about anything except raids. So 5 clerics is viable. I used to run a Justicar tank and did fine with it but only to 15 or so. Never went into instances.

Clerics pets are not passive....... they get a pet bar just like ranger warrior mages. and yes 5 clerics can pve just fine. Clerics have a tank spec healing spec melee spec range spec so ur all good with 5 clerics.

lol and clerics are fine for tanking Raids dont know where u get that from. teh guild im in uses a Cleric tank in raids along with a rogue tank they only use warrior tank on trash cause he doesnt get wrecked on aoe pulls.

I'm not saying that Justicar spec clerics CANNOT tank raid levels bosses, I am saying that there are many complaints on the forums that in the T2+ level raids, Justicar tanks are harder to keep up than Riftstalker or the warrior-based tanks. Since I'm not to 50 myself, I am going by what people on the Rift forums are stating.

YMMV.

ya clerics are just fine in t2 t1 raids it dont matter same with rogues they just have diffrent lvls of how their damage comes in clerics tend to be a little more spikier then Warriors but less so then rogues. Though rogues are the best magic tanks warriors are best physical tanks cleircs fall in hte middle they are pretty good at both.

hey all,

i am going to quickly summarize what I was trying to say. I had a nice long post ready to go and my session timed out before I could post it..argh

It's good to see this thread have activity, I haven't been able to find much info on the web other than here.

bf and i just finished decommissioning our 2 set 5x account each wow multibox setup and bought 10 rift accts/have joined the RIFT community. 5 per. we don't really have a lot of time to play which is why we made the switch to RIFT since it is less time intensive and less boring..sick of wow. i guess one could argue its going to be more time consuming to start all over with rift since we already had our wow toons lvled. but in the end its less upkeep/time required..someone said just level 5 of each and dont worry about it..well since time is a factor - not really possible. anyway

we have some questions. since we haven't really started yet...and the game has been out for awhile now.. has anyone come up with an ideal multibox 5x class/build setup?


most of my multibox experience comes from playing the same class. from what im hearing its going to be the same case in RIFT.

i already tried 5 mages got them up to lvl 14 in no time. but i dont think they will have the survivability in dungeons without heals/tank. i dont really care about pve main concern is PVP but the pve would be nice to be able to do too..

which is why im leaning towards 5 clerics after hearing the most recent posts. for pve can set them to tank+heals + 3 dps clerics. where the mages isn't as diverse

after reading up on builds and classes. 5 rogues...5 saboteurs seems way cool pop out of stealth stack 5 bombs, detonate, insta 5 bomb stack and detonate again. thats 50 bombs with 5 accounts. 5 hunter same kind of deal but arrows+pet. is there a hunter pet that can stealth?

i've heard:
4 bard + war or pally
5 mage lock or pyro builds both affective
5 cleric
so i'd like to question adding
5 rogues saboteur or hunter.


so main focus PVP that can handle pve dungeons/rifts/etc. if there is a pvp team comp that whoops butt in pvp but not that good in pve would still consider it but looking for something that can do both ideally..

5 saboteurs sounds too cool to pass up same as hunter but..i dont know the game seeking advice from the pros =)

thanks in advance

5 rogues ... won't be able to do expert dungeons at all, if you care about that. Also think you'll find the lack of healing frustrating at 50 for pvp, unless all you want is to stealth gank. Warfronts take more to win than just that though.

5 clerics ... might be viable but they don't have the utility of a mixed team. DPS will be lower than other combos you could do. High survivability at least. Cleric tanks have some issues in higher end dungeons, if you care about that.

Really suggest doing a mixed class setup for this game. You can always spec all the toons to dps for pvp, or whatever mix you want. You have many more options if you mix the classes up.

My pick if I was starting at this point would be warrior, cleric, mage (chloro), then 2 others of your choice anything but another warrior. I'm running war, 2 rogues, 2 clerics (regret no mage).

Edit: You could also get away with a rogue or cleric tank perhaps, but I'd be sure you have both as options if you leave out warrior, they each have strengths and weaknesses.
