Help on making a team

[Aadien]

So im new to rift boxing, i did it in Eq2 and wow. And im looking to 5 man it, but i want different classes. So i want War, Rogue, Cleric, 2 mages. But my quest is for War (tank) and Cleric (healer), i dont know what specs to go with them, any help?

I picked Hoplite for my warrior and Flame Keeper for my healing cleric, both from the five default class options you get when you start the game. I'm level 38 now and both seem to be working fine so far. I look forward to playing with other soul combos when I get to a higher level, but for now I'm happy.

i love my mages but at the moment as they level they are necro/dom so i have a tank pet. I loved the dps of a pyro necro mage tho.

Sadly my 3000 computer can not handle 5 rifts at one time..even with EVERYTHING lowered, so im thinking of 2 boxing or 3 boxing it, any that would be fun?

[suicidesspyder]

wow my 1900 laptop handles it quiet nicely gotta love asus gaming laptops right.

Ya i tried everything, and the highest fps i get is 9.... I never had this problem with wow, or everquest or eve

I had some trouble with five on my second computer, but things seem fixed now. Somehow my hyper-threading on my intel CPU was turned off. Help from Lax and others on the ISBoxer chat helped me figure that out.
In Rift, the important thing seems to be in the Advanced tab under Video from the Settings window, ensure "Low Quality Renderer (Requires Restart)" is checked. In addition, ensure every other bar on that window is dragged all the way to the left, that all other check boxes are off, and that the three drop downs are set to "None".
Lax and Co. also pointed me to this page which I found useful:
http://isboxer.com/wiki/HOWTO:Tweak_your_framerate
The Open Hardware Monitor mentioned there was an easy download to figure out what part of my system was most overloaded by the five windows of Rift.

i've done all of that, and still holding at 10 fps...

So thanks to you and looking at hyper-theading in the wizard, it was off. I used that and im up to 30 FPS, SO much better now

Woot! I'm glad that helped!

Get your guys set up with some really simple follow, assist, and attack macros, get them to level ten, then queue for Instant Adventures. They are a fabulous way to level.
