Massively multiplayer role-playing games gained popularity about fifteen years ago. After about 2005, they reached the peak of their popularity and are still one of the most sought after genres. They offer gamers to plunge headlong into a huge game world, which offers them a choice between different characters who can be pumped in different ways, hunting for dozens of different mobs and fighting with complex bosses. However, at the same time, the mechanics in all games remain approximately the same, so the project needs something special so that it can stand out from the rest and gain a foothold on the top lines of the charts. The rather young RIFT project has every chance to become a new masterpiece. First, it offers gamers a choice between two warring parties with their own races, each of which has its own advantages. You can also choose from four classes of characters and pump them along one of several paths. In addition, there are some nice features that distinguish the game from the rest - for example, breaks that arise from nowhere and let loose crowds of aggressive mobs. However, this article will be devoted specifically to character classes and possible pumping options in RIFT - an overview of each class will be accompanied by a brief description of the “shower” options - pumping paths.
Parties and Races
You need to know everything not only about classes in the game Rift. A review of the races is also necessary. So you start the game. And you are immediately confronted with a choice: which side do you want to fight for? Defenders represent a peculiar bright side, while apostates are more prone to the dark. Naturally, these two sides will fight each other throughout the game, and all the events that will be launched by the developers are related to the plot development of this conflict. However, it’s worth mentioning right away that each side has its own set of three races, so you won’t be able to choose any — only those that belong to your faction. If you decide to be a protector, then you can become a gnome, a high elf, and also a matosian. The former can fall from a great height and not die, the latter can fly from place to place over short distances, while the others can accelerate by thirty percent in ten seconds. If your choice is apostates, then you have to choose between Kelari, Ethi and Bahwa. The former have the ability to become invisible by thirty seconds, the latter can increase speed by seventy percent, but for a shorter period of time than the Matosians, and the latter race can make an instant jump to the specified point. Actually, you can choose from these races, but they will only indicate the appearance of your character, and also give you one special ability. The rest you will pump, depending on which class you choose in the game Rift. An overview of all available classes you can read on.
Warrior
One can hardly imagine a game in which there would be no warrior - a powerful character whose specialization is close contact combat. Naturally, there is such a class in the Rift game as well - a review of it will not take much time, since you can already guess a lot about it. This character has a large supply of health and high damage indicators, as well as abilities corresponding to the warrior. Thus, you get a hero who can collect damage by distracting him from other characters, while remaining alive and inflicting significant damage to the enemy. For you, the most important thing is not to confuse this game with Oculus Rift. The review is about a computer project, but some users are confused in these two terms.
Souls for a warrior
As you already understood, this article does not talk about the Oculus Rift device - the review tells about what classes are in the young and promising massively multiplayer role-playing game Rift. So, if you have chosen a warrior class, then you have several options for further pumping. You can become a winner who is a melee master. The second option is the Defiler, a warrior who also interacts with the energy of death and can poison and weaken the enemy. The paladin is the exact opposite of the Defiler; he uses the heaviest armor and shields, as well as the divine blessing as his main weapon, punishing them with undead and improving his and allied stats. The commander is ideal for team play, as he can enhance his allies morale, increase the chances of crit and so on. The blade master does not wear a shield - instead, he has a sword in each hand. The Elemental Warrior can increase damage due to the forces of nature, the Abyss Knight is a specialist in the protection and fight against magicians, and the Beast Lord can call on allied animals for help. Well, now you are unlikely to have doubts that this article is not about Oculus Rift DK2 - the review tells exactly about the character classes in the game.
Cleric
Of course, it cannot be denied that every modern person would like to use the Oculus Rift DK2, a review of this device shows that augmented reality is the future of mankind. But most games do not yet support this technology - including Rift. But even without augmented reality, you can fully enjoy the gameplay, and this guide will allow you to determine the class. And if you did not like the warrior, then you can try to choose Cleric. This character is most often used as a support fighter, that is, with the help of his contact with natural magic, he can improve allied indicators, heal them, and also apply debuffs to opponents. In Rift, a class overview can be very useful for you, as many gamers do not know what character to take, and make mistakes. You can choose exactly who you would like to play.
Souls for the Cleric
In Rift: Planes of Telara, class overviews can save you from the wrong choices that many players make. Because of this, they are then forced to play the wrong character as they would like. If we are talking about the Cleric, then you need to know in which direction it can be developed. A Kabbalist is not an ordinary cleric who focuses not on support, but on attack.
Another unusual cleric is the Druid. Such a hero engages in close combat, but relies on the forces of the forest and fairies. The Inquisitor is a powerful character who riskily uses the powers of the magic of life and death. An accomplisher is the most typical cleric who is a support character and specializes in healing. Another cleric of support - Baptized by Fire, he uses the power of fire to strengthen partners. The guard, in turn, is not very powerful in healing, but is great at creating defensive spells. A shaman is a character who uses the forces of nature, but applies them to himself to strengthen. Well, the Caretaker is, most likely, the most powerful healer in the game. As you well understand, this project is not a Motorstorm Pacific Rift, a review of which shows that you only need to choose a good car, and you can win. Here you will need much more work.
Robber
Not a single role-playing game is possible without a robber, because this class is simply irreplaceable. In Rift: Nightmare Tide, the review demonstrates that this class is very powerful and offers you a huge variety. You can make your character an archer, a spy, an assassin, and many other heroes. In general, you will have something to experiment with. However, if you do not think that you would like to experiment, then you better study this guide. The fact is that with its help you can figure out which direction is more suitable for you specifically - and then you can already stick to it in the game. But whatever you choose, the visual effects remain at their best, you just have to admire all these beauties and dream that the game has support for the Crescent Bay Oculus Rift. The view of the battlefield from different sides is sometimes fascinating so that you can die if you do not regain control of the character in time.
Souls for the Rogue
As you already understood, the game does not support Oculus Rift DK2. A review of games that already have support for this device is not the topic of our conversation. Now we are talking about in which direction robbers can develop in Rift. The Nightblade is a typical assassin who attacks from behind, quietly and silently eliminating his opponents. The ranger is somewhat similar to the Beast Lord, which the Warrior can become. Virtuoso is a real dancer with blades, who can quickly and sharpened movements eliminate any opponent in his path. The killer is another assassin who no longer relies on stealth, but on dexterity. As for the Stalker, it is extremely unusual - it uses the curvatures of space to move around, as well as draw energy for its attacks. The shooter is a robber who prefers attack from a long distance. A saboteur uses various explosives to attack his opponents. And Bard is in some ways closer to the Clerics, as he uses his music to enhance the morale and characteristics of his allies. Here in these areas you can develop your robber in Rift. A review of the game, which you can read on the net, will not give you such an idea. But this guide can help you a lot in creating and developing a character.
Magician
The last class that is available in this game is the Mage. This character can both attack enemies from a long distance, and protect his partners. but you should always remember that you have limited mana, so you will need to think through the strategy for using abilities in detail. Only then can you succeed if you play as a magician, since he also does not have much health to withstand a large number of blows.
Souls for a magician
So, it remains to consider only how you can pump your mage. The simplest option is the Elementalist, he controls pure magical energy and is the standard of the magician without any deviations in any direction. An oppressor is a magician who belongs to the support class, but does not have a positive effect on his partners. His specialization is a negative impact on the enemy - he can inspire horror in enemies, cause them to panic and freeze in place. Already by the name of the class of the Storm Caster, you can understand what he is doing - combining the elements of water and air, he creates powerful spells of mass destruction. An archon is another example of a support mage, which depends on how much he can take from an opponent. Proceeding from this, he can strengthen himself, make allies more powerful, or impose debuffs on the enemy. The Floromancer is a healer mage who is no worse at handling this role than the best Cleric. Well, there is no point in explaining much about the Necromancer - he uses the magic of death to summon the undead and use his servants to inflict damage on opponents. The last class of the magician is a pyromancer, this character uses fire magic to carry out crushing attacks.
Gamers reviews about the game
You can talk about the game for a very long time, but at the same time, feedback from players is much better than all praise. The fact is that most gamers believe: Rift is a great project that actually brought something new to the genre of massively multiplayer role-playing games. Naturally, no one writes that this project made any breakthrough or reached a new level - it is just different, special, and can attract many gamers. Unfortunately, it does not have Oculus Rift 2 support - a review of this technology, available today, does not imply that it will be implemented in a large number of computer games in the near future. Therefore, we can safely say that today Rift is one of the best MMORPG projects that have been released recently. It has everything that should be in a high-quality multiplayer role-playing game, but there are also innovations that fit perfectly into the big picture.
Naturally, there are not the most flattering reviews, but for the most part they indicate the similarity of this project to the best MMORPG of all time World of Warcraft. Indeed, there is something similar in them, but still they belong to the same genre, and the chip with the appearance of breaks makes the project very different, because there has not been anything like it in any game yet. It is also worth paying attention to the fact that the game is quite young, so sometimes you may encounter problems of a purely technical nature, which developers are constantly trying to fix as soon as possible. But if we talk specifically about the game, then there can be no complaints - the project is simply magnificent and can be a good competitor to WoW if it gets a competent development. And this is only possible if the game will have a constant influx of new active gamers.
