Dual Grief Mage Spec

Alright Well here is probably my last mage spec posting, I do not Play rift, much at all. I get on every now and then to help and talk to people. I am trying to move on to a different MMO but i am having such bad internet problems that i get d/c every 10 seconds. It was a struggle for me to even get this posting out because of how poor my internet is being right now. So hopefully you guys like the Spec

____________________________
About this Spec

It has Heals, It has good Survive, It has Crowd Control, It has Grief Damage (dual Grief Damage) and It has a Main Macro which is about all you need to use, but you can use other things and i highly do suggest other moves too that are not in there, because it is missing out a few important moves that couldnt be added to the macro, or would just have been confusing to do so. You will Always have a 25% increase to Intellect if you use the macro that is given.

I am terribly sorry how long this spec took to get out, seriously i have had so bad internet issues that i cannot play a single minute in the game. I spent the last few hours logging in for a minute to get d/c just so i can view my outline of this Spec, so i hope you guys enjoy it. Remember That you can only have mass charged shield debuffed from you, but it is still one of the more important abilities/buffs you should have up, so remember to make sure you have it up. It also helps a good bit during warfronts since so many people dont target just a healer, it allows the people who are being hit to take down the health of the attackers without needing to switch from their targets. ENJOY

RIFT 2.4: BEYOND INFINITY 9/18/13 == FEATURES == RAID: INFINITY GATE As the Ascended rush to control the Infinity Gate, its ancient magic stirs to life and summons furious enemies from the planes beyond. Defeat Breaker X1, Swarm Lord Twins Mordan and Viktus, and a Karthan juggernaut to secure the gate and pave the way to Planebreaker Bastion. (Maximum of 20 players.) DUNGEON: REALM OF TWISTED DREAMS A stroke of cosmic unluck has given rise to a nightmarish Realm of the Fae, a dream world where Atrophinius' deepest fears take on physical form and threaten Telara itself. Chimeric versions of familiar foes now await the Ascended, grinding axes (and teeth and claws) for the twisted battles to come. (Maximum of 5 players.)

Unlocking a pack of hairstyles, hair colors, and skin colors unlocks those options for your entire account. NEW USER EXPERIENCE To improve the New User Experience, we've added: * A new type of quest for Tutorials. These quests are usually given when the character levels up from 8 to 20 and introduces the player to core features of the game such as Instant Adventure, Dimensions, and the Soul Tree. They do not count towards your max quest count and have a different UI when in the quest tracker. * A Help Tip Encyclopedia that can be found under the ? icon on the player menu in the lower left corner of the screen. Here players can search for and read help tips. Players can also view and replay new video tutorials. If you wish to disable all tips, you can do so under Settings>Help.

100% instant Cast Mage Spec

As i Promised, this is the 100% instant cast spec, it will tell you how to set up the bars, and what you should need to know about the spec, since you guys are not used to it yet. I am currently the only one that i know of with this Spec, Plus macro, since i designed both of them.

Coming soon for mage- Dual grief Spec, Anti rogue mainly, but works on everything.

Please do note, not to change this macro. Abilities are placed in order in which you will be given the most strength towards your next move. Any variation to this macro will create poorer damage to this spec.

This Spec is mainly for Group PvP Since mages are Squish Squish and this is a FullBlown DPS Spec, If you Want a 1v1 Spec that Can Take Down Pretty Much Anyone Used Properly Wait for the Dual Grief Spec, 61 sin will go down just by you Standing there.

Understanding the build
_______________

In the Main Macro, Using Alt will position lock an enemy in Position. You have a Shield always rolling in the main macro, and will go down every now and then, which will allow you to use your second shield. These shields cannot be used at the same time. Your First #1 is a Channel cast Spell and shouldnt be used to much, since your Spec consists of a huge macro that is single target instant cast spells, Spam it and kite People. Do not be afraid to do so! When your pet Dies, keep running and use the pet summon macro, you will cast it while running and you can continue fighting without stopping movement.

Sorry, I Dont have Videos Of my Mage, Except one of her Doing Nothing!

It's Dwarfin' Time

Battle Bard... Till Death oh wait.

So what, You are a bard. This means you are the main focus of all the people pretty much since, people like to say bards are one of the best things in this game. Well being a Bard you have 3 main motifs that should be rolling out, But if you go to far into it, you get squishy. Is there a good level to go into it? or what? Yeah there can be set levels in each area that make you stronger in certain spots, but weaker in area. I have a bard Build that is an all around bard, good at everything and caps around 35k health with merc gear on. This spec though, is a what it is... A battle bard, meant to be the focus on all groups and healing still. Hardly ever will you be a victim of being trolled on this spec. Currently, Rift Is not working for me though, so I could not locate my Macro, It will be added to this build Shortly once it works.

Spec Need to Know,

Always keep your motifs up, When you need to Planeshift to get a heal, make sure you your motifs are up because they will boost the healing you receive from it.

Warrior Reaver Spec, As Promised.

So this is hard for me to do, but i no longer enjoy playing the game rift as much as i used to. People always try to steal my specs, and a lot of people have recently come close to getting my Reaver Spec, after i switched over to it from using a Voidknight Spec, First comes the Reaver spec and later on i will post the DPS Void spec for Anti Rogue. This Reaver Spec Tops warfront damage when used with two weapons and all the correct buffs, There will be two different macros posted bellow, one for PVP dueling, and the other one For AOE damage, Almost the same but makes a huge difference from the AOE to the Single Target macro. This is one of my favorite Specs i have Kept hidden for so long and now it is free Game for everyone. This Spec was Created by me and no one else, and was tested a lot with different variables to make it perfect. It has around a 7-10k burst damage with over 30-40k of Dot damage, Plus not to Mention, you can attack still while all this is going out. My internet latency is around 1000 ping, and it is really hard for me to get moves to go out the way i want so even though i can play every now and then my internet can go from 1000 ping to 10k ping in seconds, causing me to lock and freeze up. If this isnt an issue i get a low fps around 2. Anyone who knows a game should know why these are issues for playing properly, since normally people run around 30 to 60 fps and around 20 ping to 200 ping. While most say a game is unplayable at 400 ping. I will be here to Help people after i Leave Rift though, I will probably just log in every now and then since i am giving away 4 Specs when i leave that i Love. 1 mage, 1 Cleric, and 2 Warrior Builds. I can Also give out My bard Spec later on, but its not as good as the others. So for right now, i just worry about getting the other builds to you guys. Since most of you guys have better internet then me and i still topped Warfronts in Damage and Killed many players, in Warfronts and out of them Each spec i give you Should be worth your time to look at. My macros were made to give me the edge over the enemy since i have poor latency, i made them to be the best i can, So they are Long but they are pretty much What you need all in one.

To use Alt, Or Shift in the macro, you must hold alt or shift, and then actually use the mouse to click the macro on the screen, anything else wont work!

Seriously the spec is that simple, thats all you need to know

The macro will roll through range, and switch to melee when you hold alt, and then it will attack even if your target is not visible correctly, however if he is nowhere in sight, it will switch to mild heals to get your health back. You big heal is not included in the Macros so you need to Click them separately.
