Coming from WoW and want to know what class will fit you? I made a guide just for you.




This is a good start for people. It's important to note, though, that not all Rift specs are meant to be used for the same thing. Stormcaller is an AoE soul almost exclusively. Thunderchickens would be well advised to take that into consideration. On the other hand, since there are so many role slots, you don't have to pidgeon hole yourself. For example, Rift mage encompases Warlock, Shadow Priest, Thunderchicken, Fire Mage and Ele Shaman all at the same time. Until you start to raid, you can probably come up with a spec that will closely associate with the play style of any of those specs from Wow. As you learn about Rift though, you'll see how it diverges and you'll shrug off the WoW paradigms.
