Rift Master 1

[trin ka]

<div>Guildy handed me Rift master 1 last night. To the higher lvl Warlocks(65 spell I think)...do you guys/girls cast this that much? Is it a group saver or is it part of your normal casting progression? Do the mobs end up in walls or somewhere thier not supposed to be? And I cant remember, at work, does it have a maximum target number kinda like Devestation? Or is it like the Fury line? Point Blank AOE with no maximum target limit.(If Fury line does have a limit I didnt know)</div>

I cast rift every time I have a chnce to hit 4+ mobs without bringing the zone down on my group. It can be a group saver or a group killer depends on how it is used, and I cast it pretty frequently. The mobs end up right where they started, in fact it shows different animationds for NPC compared to PC. Maximum targets is 12 in a 15 meter Radius, the fury line has a max of 8 in a 15 meter radius.<div></div>

<div></div><div>Thank you for the info. So if I am remembering right the max dmg on the spell was just a tad over 4k. I guess as my int goes up so will that. Is that per target? So if I hit 5 enemys with Rift..its possible to do 20K dmg with one spell?</div><p>Message Edited by trin kahl on <span class="date_text">03-21-2006</span><span class="time_text">11:01 AM</span></p>

It's a nice spell that can do good damage but I use it a lot less than it's available. Void Absolution is a much better spell and can generate as much if not more DPS in a grouped encounter.

rift can hit up to 12 targets, it's dmg is a secondary effect of the spell effect rift slam (falling dmg - so near to no aggro generated). so if your grp/raid has a 3mob encounter & some adds (multi encounter) you can do up to 50k+ with one rift.<div></div>

<div></div><p>I also have the Master 1 and this spell is awesome. Just be careful I've noticed that it will aggro through the walls.</p><p>Tarod 66 Warlock</p><p>Crimson Stalkers</p>

<div>Cool...cant wait then to lvl this guy up...of course its gonna be awile seeing this new expansion has the guild asking for healing. Last night in Living Tombs was the most fun I've had so far though with my Warlock. Our guild leader has rolled a coercer..I let him mez the first half of the night...but I just couldnt resist hitting the AOE's and when the guild saw how quick the combo of Devestation, Dark Nebula, Aura of Emptyness, Nil Distortion, Fury...the Mezzing stopped. Rift does seem like a cool spell with a little bit of a learning curve...wall aggro and stuff..but seeing that one person said its falling dmg so no aggro..that makes me feel a little better<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></div>

Just an added tidbit of info, last night in Sanctum of the Scaleborn I parsed my log for about an hour and a half, in that time Void Absolution (Master 2) did about 20% of my total damage, Void Distortion (Adept 3) did about 15% of my total damage, and Rift (Adept 3) did about 12% of my total damage (around 800K total). Group makeup was 2 pallys, Inquisitor, Conjuror, and me.<div></div>

I have this master I, used it on one of the groups of Drakotas in HoF (the ones in the pit), it did 6k DPS / 48k damage.Its not too shabby seeing as Fusion (wizard equiv) is limited to 3 mobs and could only do 30-35k tops on the same encounter.
