If this day has brought you little good news so far, we have a great surprise for all Rift fans! With the next update 2.7, every class will receive a new soul. The first two have already been announced, and we certainly don’t want to withhold them from you:
The ancient Oracles have already averted the destruction of Telara in the dark future with their water and death magic and must now also advocate for the survival of the world in this time. Thanks to their powerful blessings, shields, healing abilities, buffs and curses, the new cleric soul will be a welcome ally and feared enemy in epic battles on the battlefields of Telara and against nasty boss opponents.
After the cleric’s area of expertise has rather been damage, healing or protection, many players will surely be pleased with the new role and its possibilities.
This soul seems a bit strange. When one thinks of healers, one usually imagines elegant, wise beings in long robes… But a warrior? Seriously? Yet the new warrior soul proves that everything is possible in an MMO:
The Liberator has recently returned from the plane of Earth and now supports the brave champions of Telara with his strong magnetic fields. While he fights at the front, he can protect his allies with powerful absorption shields – the more group members, the better. His great strength lies primarily in long-lasting healing for raid groups, where he can fully unleash his potential.
Katja: The aim of these changes is that every character can fulfill any role in the game – if they want to or if the group would benefit from it. However, it is noticeable that the souls presented so far apparently primarily rely on absorption mechanics. To what extent this will influence the healing of all healers in a raid or group will probably only become clear once patch 2.7 is deployed on the official servers. Unfortunately, it is still unclear when that will be – However, we can promise you that rogues and mages will also be able to look forward to new souls in the coming days. As soon as more is known, we will of course keep you updated.
