Last week we reported on healing warriors and supportive Oracles. Now, over the weekend, the last two souls for Rift were introduced, which will find their way into the game with Patch 2.7.
Finally, rogues can specialize in healing. Until now, they could only act as supporters, but now you can heal your groups armed with a bow. It does seem a bit strange to shoot allies in the back to heal their wounds – but why not? Let the arrowheads of alchemical hope soar through the air and save your friends from certain death.
If we interpreted the introductory story correctly, it will be possible to deal proper damage to enemies through a rain of arrows. In that case, the arrowheads will likely be equipped with poisonous herbs.
If you prefer to stand in the front row to protect your comrades, the new Stalker will be just right for you. Surely the eyes of some mages among you are already twinkling with delight, as the mage can now tank thanks to wind, lightning, and ice!
Of course, it won’t be necessary to equip the mage with heavy armor, as powerful invulnerability spells will protect him from devastating attacks by enemies. While the powerful ice shield protects your life, you can now mock your enemies with the powers of water and air and prevent them from attacking your friends.
Katja: Unfortunately, we may have to wait a bit longer to test the new souls on the live server – possibly even until early summer. 🙁 But until then, exciting events like “Mech Week 2.0” await you. Dive into the global event until March 20 to snag the fancy mechanical mount and epic loot.
