Rift Warrior Guide – An Overview Of The Souls For The Warrior

In this Rift Warrior guide we will be having a look at the available souls and when you should use them depending on the sort of gameplay that you desire.

Warriors can be tanks which most people pick when you think of a Warrior or you can focus more on damage dealing and which one you are strongest in will depend on how you equip your souls.

The warrior is the only calling in Rift to be able to wear plate armor and you will be able to use pretty much all weapons such as 1 handed weapons, 2 handed weapons, shields and you can dual wield if you wish as well.

In order to power up you will use attack points and power points. Most of the time when you attack you will use power which of course will regenerate quite quickly and then this will generate attack points that you can use to inflict vast amounts of damage.

You will be able to hold 3 attack points at a time and ALL of your general and more powerful attacks will be more damaging when you have the full 3 points.

Rift Warrior Souls:

You will be able to pick from 9 souls if you choose to play as Warrior and you will be able to pick from 3 of these at a time. Something to bear in mind as you will NOT be able to use all 9 souls at once.
Also you will want to focus on 2 or even just 1 soul as your primary talent. The game will not allow you to spread your souls too thin and there is a cap on the amount of souls that you can put into the tree at any one time.
The first 3 souls will be unlocked early in the game and as you level up you will find that quests will unlock the rest of your souls.

Champion

If you are looking to just get stuck into the game and you are brand new to Rift then you may want to equip the Champion Warrior soul as this is VERY similar to the Warrior in World of Warcraft.
Focusing mainly on DPS you will recognize much of the talents using this soul if you have played WOW before.

Even if you haven’t this is a very easy soul to start with.
The only downside with this soul is that you will find you do not inflict “steady” damage it will be more in spurts and HUGE blows but this can also make for some dicey moments!
However a Warrior that is a champion is a must have on the front line!

Beastmaster:

This soul is a hybrid of a hunter and a Warrior and will give you some pet skills as well. You will summon your pets from spells so you don’t have to worry too much about powering up your pet and can focus on your build.

This class is really good if you want a pet, but only have it as a secondary option – there are a few cool abilities with the Beastmaster class and you will get some awesome healing and boosting abilities for when you are in a party, however in my opinion it is not strong enough as your primary class.
