RIFT DPS Build Guide

RIFT DPS Build Guide

Rift is up a month now and lot of players are striving to get into top as quick as they can. Be the first to get the high-end equips and first to dominate and be known at their servers. Perfect class builds at start or right combination of souls and a proper distribution is the key for a dominating toon. Well if you don't know here some guide and idea in creating a DPS Rift toon. This guide is for all classes (warrior, rogue, mage, and cleric).

RIFT Warrior DPS Build Guide 

The Warrior has eight souls in total, four of which are DPS souls. The DPS souls are the Beastmaster, Paragon, Riftblade and Champion souls.

If you want a Warrior DPS build that is terrific for leveling, I recommend that you choose the Champion as your main soul and the Beastmaster and the Riftblade as your off-souls. Put 38 points into your Champion, 28 points into your Beastmaster and 0 points into your Riftblade. This is considered as a pure DPS Warrior build and is also great for raiding.

RIFT Rogue DPS Build Guide 

The Rogue class has many DPS builds depending on your style of play. However, I recommend that you use your Assassin as your main soul and the Bladedancer and Riftstalker as your off-souls.

This is a terrific DPS build for dungeons and group play. Remember to allocate the majority of your points to your Assassin and focus on getting skills that allow you to inflict the maximum amount of damage such as Magnify Pain, Physical Trauma.

You may also want to consider building your soul tree towards getting the +5% critical chance and the Foul Play, which is a 4 second stun!

RIFT Mage DPS Build Guide 

To build a Mage focused on DPS and nothing else, I recommend that you choose the Pyromancer as your main soul with the Archon and the Elementalist as your off-souls.

The Pyromancer will enable you to do lots of direct damage on your enemies as well as AOE. Keep in mind to watch your mana bar as you are spamming Fireballs at your enemies.

The Archon soul should be chosen as an off-soul because it compliment fire spells really well. This soul also gives you mana every time you land a critical.

The Elementalist soul is very important as well to this combo because you can summon a pet that can take all of the damage from enemies and also this soul increases spell damage and critical by 50%!

RIFT Cleric DPS Build Guide 

Creating a good DPS build for a Cleric is difficult because they are not very strong and is used as a supporting role in a group.

However, if you have no choice and want to create a DPS build for your Cleric, here is what you should do. Choose the Cabalist as your main soul, and the Sentinel and Druid as your off souls.

This build will allow you to solo 2-4 same level mobs, heal and do some AOE attacks at the same time. Currently, this seems to be the DPS build that many players turn to if you have no choice but to play as a DPS Cleric.
