Rift Boxing Compared to WoW?

[Meeo]

I believe there is CTM in Rift, but it does not work like WoW's, and i believe it uses the opposite mouse button from WoW. I cant confirm this becuase im at work right now, but i can this evening when i get off.

Is there follow in Rift? Do Rift officially accept multiboxing?


How is PvP in Rift? My favorite PvP moments in WoW was multiboxing AV and IoC since I in those battlegrounds felt I could contribute nicely without having to feel bad about occupying 5 slots. Does Rift have similar battlegrounds?

Is there follow in Rift?

Yes! There is also Interact keybind. But I don't know about IWT+CTM like we have in WoW to move to things, not that that's necessary given follow.

Do Rift officially accept multiboxing?

Sr. GM Morgana in 2011 specifically addressed me with specific regards to ISBoxer, specifically because I had been banned multiple times from the game.. from trying to solve a crash issue with ISBoxer+Rift that started from a Rift patch. This all occurred weeks after I corrected the bug. (I was a bit ticked off at that point as I'd gone through a few lower GMs before this point as well and this was the next account weeks later, to explain my tone in the email)



And just in the last few days, here is a current response as posted on the ISBoxer forums by "muhamad ali"


All indications currently really are that Trion Worlds would love your business, and hope you enjoy the game, and bring your friends who don't multibox as well.

Thanks for the info.

In WoW my favourite classes always were those with pets, like warlock and hunter. Are there pet classes in Rift as well which can keep aggro off my own character?

Yes the Rogue has a ranger tree for pets and I think the mage has one or a couple forget all the names.

Rift is pretty unique in what it allows you to do with classes. You basically pick 2 sub classes for your primary class. Specifically to you, this means that you could run a 5 pet team that can DPS AND Heal. Imagine a team of hunters that can heal their pets like a main healer.

Could you run instances with rogues? Not sure if they are called instances but dungeon thingies?

Yes Rogues can tank ranged and melee dps aswell as the support healing role not sure how good it would be as a main healer. Clerics can Tank Heal and have R/M Dps aswell as support roles in certain builds.

Warriors - Beastmaster are also a pet class, and I believe Clerics have access to pets as well.

Yes, you can run Rogues through the instances, I used my warrior tank and 4 rogues once and just spammed cadence the whole time.
Again, you can fine tune things to your liking and there are lots of things to mess around with.

Also, if you have any issues with people harassing you for multi-boxing and they just won't let it go, report them for player harassment and explain why in your ticket.

This has worked 100% of the time for me and in some cases has resulted in an apology from the player.

Also, don't forget to bang the crap out of the pinatas as they result in loot from previous events and can result in some pretty cool items, including costume pieces.
