Class Mashing 101: Rift's 2.7 Patch adds new souls to level the Playing Field
Some unexpectedly early additions will be coming in Rift's new 2.7 patch, leveling the playing field by providing every calling with new souls to perform all of the roles within the game. Revealing the Liberator soul for the Warrior and the Oracle soul for the Cleric, it is still a little unclear as to what options 2.7 will bring for both Rogue and Mage.
The new Liberators will not be passive healers, as leading and jumping into the chaos of battle is still their main objective as warriors. They'll instead convert that combative energy into the necessary means to heal large parties around them while dishing damage out at close range. The Oracle uses water and death magic to buff and debuff large parties, creating a support Cleric that can provide help and convenience through many facets.
As for the Mage's Arbiter soul, and the Physician soul for the Rogue, information regarding these new additions is expected to follow in the next couple of days.

ArenaNet is hard at work.
Rift is amazing and transcends what WoW ever did due to amazing graphics, game play and flexibility in character choice and development. There is a huge range of end game static and dynamic content and more than enough shards full of people that play regularly.
I play on a moderately built AMD system and have no issues with smooth frame rates. The game has one of the best F2P models out there and is still taking on new players all the time. The game certainly is not "dead" or "dying" by any stretch, and to say that just shows the ignorance of all the trolls on this thread.

I don't think the developers are even taking the game serious anymore! Just throw in there whatever can stop (hopefully) the ship from completely sinking.
It failed early coz it was a p2p game with sub and not everyone can get a success which WOW had once.
In the current state game is one of the best in features.Graphics if u run in max settings are awesome.And no its not just grinding alone.There are more features in the game one can imagine.
One can do rifts,world event,world boss,zone boss,etc too with addition of raid,bgs and dungeons.
Only a casual player with just little skills can discard such game or u dont have friends lol.
Anyway, I don't see why they keep updating a dead horse. It's already dead, some tassels and bells wont make it any less dead at this point.
Gamers are moving away from shitty casual trash MMOs. The fall of WoW is really proving that.
