Figured I'd start one of these threads.

What do y'all think about this build I'm thinking of trying?

http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=00nra.Veb00M.tuRsqxezoo.VV

I really don't like the downtime for warriors that don't have some sort of mitigation or in-combat healing, so I figured I'd try to make a somewhat defensive melee cleric. I tried the shaman/druid/whatever, but even at level 12 there's a log of downtime. Downtime and I don't get along.

Critique meh!

I've really only played rogue for any actual time so I don't know the first thing about Cleric'ing...

If you want a good rogue build, I can help with that.

I just have to get to the point in this game where I am not afraid of downtime, ala drinking. Usually takes a little while before I want to relax enough on a character for that.

Hell, I carry a full stack of whatever drink I feel is appropriate... just in case... but even then I can go from very low health to full in about 8 seconds. I guess I don't see why people get so upset over this "downtime" in games. Tzalik is kind of like that. He HATES down time, but if I've gotta rest for 5-10 seconds after a couple of pulls, eh. Means nothing to me.

Did you ever play EQ? THAT was some downtime... I knew a level capped priest (pre-expansion) that went from empty mana to full mana in 30 minutes meditating. That's one extreme.

Depends on what you're going for.

I found that Bladedancer, Riftstalker, Assassin works for me and that's my main build right now. I'm out of town at the moment, but when I get back I'll put up the build that I use.

after getting roflstomped in warfronts by champions I decided to bandwagon and started playing my warrior again Embarassed

Yeah, the DPS warrior, specifically the Champ/Riftblade soul combo is VERY nasty right now. Warriors need a good tuning I think.

I went with Justiciar/Druid/Shaman. Pretty much all my points are in Justiciar and I have almost no downtime. Feels very much like a WoW pally at times and he really seems to destroy rifts/invasions because Even Handed Justice or whatever it's called lets me hit 5 enemies simultaneously.
Add in the fact that Salvation regens health based off my melee damage, and there's another ability that regens mana for 10 secs whenever I attack, and I can pretty much keep rolling nonstop.
