News from the Rift

New rogue soul – The Tactitian!
http://www.twitch.tv/mmorpgcom/b/334550101

  • AOE Damage and AOE Healing
  • Meants to fit in well with other rogue souls, and fill in some gaps.
  • Focused on four new mechanics:
    • Torrents are your flamethrower. Abilities are directed in an AOE pattern.
    • Cores are gadgets/totems that players put in one place that have different effects: Buffs, AOE damage, or AOE healing.
    • Remotes are little techno-pets/abilities that go on other players. Healings, shields, etc.
    • Engines are self buffs. Heals every time you hit something, or other buff type abilities.
  • Rogue combo points will be on the Rogue in Storm Legion, and not on the mobs.
