  1. So you want to be a slayer...

    Disclaimer: Min/maxing ahead.

    There has been a hot mess of a debate going on in the Rift warrior forums over here regarding post-patch 1.1 damage specs. I managed to slog through the entirety of that monster of a post and, sadly, come up with very few competitive dps specs. Even after the nerf to BM, it still looks like having a pet is mandatory for pulling the best dps, but 1 or 2 other specs may be close.
    (note: BM gains a lot of buffs by itself that other specs only obtain ...

  2. Macros and You!

    I've heard a lot of people complain "Oh my god, I have so many abilities that I don't know what to use and when!" Considering that your average spec has approximately 20-30 abilities that can be used (note that I don't say should be used), managing them can become a problem. Luckily for us, Trion included a built-in macro feature much like WoW's to help us out. At the end of the combat macros section I will post a few other useful macros that everyone should check out.

  4. The SOE Layoffs - The start of a needed rethink?

    *** Cross posted from adeventuresoftaas.com ***

    Kotaku is reporting that Sony Online Entertainment has laid off 1/3 of its work force. While SOE has not confirmed this yet the rumblings I am hearing is that this is credible. Before I go any further (and start talking about why I think this is a good thing) I want to say I really feel for my friends at SOE and those who have made some of my favorite games. When I was Managing Editor at Stratics I was fortunate to have a very close ...

  5. Tanking Roulette - trial and speculation

    So, I was having problems last night on the double manticore fight in expert King's Breach due to the fact that I have no dots or ranged attacks to keep the caster (Mondrach) from killing my healers. I even tried a macro that targeted him, taunted, then targeted back to Autoch.... to no avail. Needless to say, I spoke with Xerathe (one of our seasoned warrior tanks) and he suggested a new spec to me (albeit I will tweak it a little bit for this discussion):
