Rank 8

The planets couldn’t have been better aligned this weekend. Rift’s half anniversary coincided with a number of holidays, giving me an extremely long weekend to take advantage of the bonus exp/prestige that was going out. I grinded my way to rank 8. To top it off, I even won a bonus gift soon after.

PVP in Rift isn’t the most fun thing ever. If not for Trion’s poor itemization resulting in PvP gear being better for PvE than PvE gear itself, I would never had touched PvP in Rift. If you can get enough focus/hit, the R8 PvP set bonus easily triumphs any PvE set obtainable at this time.

As much as I would to cease PvPing, I’m still short of favor for R8 shoulders and helm. The helmet isn’t as important as I would never use it outside of PvP, but the shoulders are critical for me to be able to keep my 4-piece set bonus in raids after swapping some gear around.

Damn it, I just want to get PvP in Rift over and done with so I can play Deus Ex with no guilt!
