Hi all,
Let me give just a brief background:
Played Asheron's Call from January 2000 until a week prior to WoW's release. I raided hardcore throughout Vanilla/TBC, included server 1st kills throughout all of BT/Hyjal and Sunwell. Since the end of TBC, I have been without an MMO - I play a little bit of League of Legends here and there to keep myself occupied.
I am looking to try Rift simply because I heard the end game raiding scene is quite good. In addition, I am nowhere near as dedicated as I used to be. I have perhaps 4 hours a day to play at most.
Is Rift the game for me? Will I be able to find enjoyable raid content on a (somewhat) limited schedule? I really only enjoy an MMO when I'm able to do the highest end content. I'm not looking to do this right out of the gate, just eventually after working my way up (slowly).
Lastly, is there a good source on "soul" / talent builds? I have been playing with the calculators, but without any true game knowledge I am a little lost. Are you allowed to re-spec, or can I gimp myself by making poor talent decisions? I'm leaning towards playing a heavy, heavy healing-type Cleric.
Thanks in advance!
