im currently downloading Rift again, used to play in in Feb 2011 and have a level 60 (max level that time) cleric.
So im just curious what i can do now with the basic game. I don't want to go straight into raids but farm some gear etc.
As i remember the profession dailies back then were awful, how have things changed since then?
As far as cleric goes try them all. You can tank, dps (melee/range) heal (ST, AOE, Support) or tank. They are all available and it's subjective what you'll enjoy.
