WARRIOR

Riftblade Calling: Warrior. Role: Damage.

Rift sure has some pretty unique classes. Here we have a Warrior with delusions of Mage-hood.

Riftblades are all about elemental damage (fire, ice, earth and wind). Each of their melee strikes does a particularly type of elemental damage depending on the strike: Searing Strike is fire damage, Thunder Strike is air damage and and so on. They also posess the kind of debuffs you'd expect from a caster class too, with roots, snares, dots, resistance debuffs and even a silence spell.

The Riftblades have their own unique brand of magic with their "Spear" spells. Creatively named Flamespear, Windspear, Earthspear and Frostspear. These can hit both single and multiple targets and each spear spell causes a different debuff effect.

Riftblades add up to being an exceptionally flexible damage dealer. They're equally effective both at range and in melee, single target or AoE damage. Which can cause some nice debuff effects as a bonus. Just don't for a second think you can tank anything at all with them, they have no defensive abilities at all, they're pretty much pure damage.
