LEVEL 18 - Justicar/Druid/Inquisitor(or warden)
Well, it's sad but true, you can't really do any reliable AoE grinding until you hit 18. And even at level 18 it's very rough around the edges.
rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=00rad.Euz00d.Vz
With this build, you can hit up to 3 enemies with Even Justice. You will have plenty of healing through Doctrine Of Bliss and Salvation. Your biggest problem will be mana. With this build you can only get 1 mana regen ability, and that's Purpose from Justicar.
Mana: This will be a problem for a while. User 'Purpose' Once you are down to about 30% mana. If you hit purpose while your Even Justice is in the middle of the swing, it is possible to get 70% of your mana back.
This build also requires a 3rd soul that has instant cast spell(s) for pulling mobs. Inquisitor is an excellent choice to get Vex. Warden also is a good choice for Waterjet, especially since Waterjet can be used to finish off the last mob (as well as an extra heal over time spell).
Rotation:
Shield Of Oak, vex or waterjet 3 mobs, use Even Justice until all are dead. Use Bolt Of Radiance and/or Waterjet to finish off the last mob.
From my experience, I found Mien Of Leadership to work out better than Mien of Honor. Both are viable.
================================================== ==
LEVEL 21 - Justicar/Druid/Inquistor(or Warden)
rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=00rad.Euz00d.VV
Continue spending points into your Druid tree so that you can get Fae Hammer. Once you get Fae Hammer, you mana issues are more or less over if you time both Fae Hammer and Purpose right. However, don't be afraid to use drinks when necessary after pulls.
Rotation is the same as with your level 18 build.
================================================== ==
LEVEL 27 - Justicar/Druid/Inquisitor
rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=00rad.Euz00ec.VV
There are 3 important abilities that you need to get from the Justicar tree. In the order of Importance: Devout Deflection, Shield Of Faith, Vengeful Justice. At level 27 you got all 3 maxed. At this point you got a very nice AoE grinding build. But there are still improvements to be made.
Rotations is the same as with your level 18 build.
================================================== ==
OPTIONAL LEVEL 29 - Justicar/Inquisitor/Purifier
rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=00rdG.Euz00ec.Vx0b
This build works incredibly well. Synergy is amazing. It can take you to level 50 withe ease. With Justicar's salvation, your Vex will heal you for ~105% of the damage done.
Rotation:
vex everything, Even Justice until dead. Profit and lol.
You can improve this build further at level 30 by putting 2 more points into Inquisitor to unlock Soul Drain, then you could do: Vex everything, soul drain, even justice until everything is dead. My level 50 main tank and farmer uses a variation of Justicar/Inquisitor.
You might have some mana issues with this build. But nothing too bad.
================================================== ==
LEVEL 33
You got couple of options now if you want to stick with the melee souls primarily. You can either do Justicar/Shaman or Justicar/Druid. I prefer Justicar/Shaman, but both have their strengths.
Justicar/Shaman/Inquisitor(or Warden) - rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=00rnd.Euz00ec.Vgd0zM
Justicar/Shaman combo have amazing synergy because of the Shaman's off-global cooldown abilities and other passives. This build will take you to level 50, very very easily.
First of all you need to make a macro. Let's call this one AoE Macro:
#show Even Justice
suppressmacrofailures
cast Jolt
cast Fated Blow
cast Glory Of The Chosen
cast Even Justice
Let's create another macro, let's call it Single Target Macro
#show Massive Blow
suppressmacrofailures
cast Jolt
cast Fated Blow
cast Glory Of The Chosen
cast Massive Blow
cast Sovereignty
cast Bolt Of Radiance
cast Lightning Hammer
cast Strike Of Judgment
cast Waterjet
cast Vex
(feel free to remove vex or waterjet, whichever one you don't have)
The above macro is...well awesome. It will use highest damaging abilities first, and works for both melee and ranged. Just use it, you will love it. If mob is in melee range, it will loop Strike of Judgment until other abilities before it get off cooldown, and if you are not in melee range, it will spam waterjet/vex. Works very well, hassle free.
Rotation:
Glacial Shield, Pull 5 mobs with your Single Target Macro, AoE Macro until they are all dead. Use single target macro to finish off the last mob or two.
Don't forget to use Purpose and Ageless Ice (from Shaman) to replenish your mana when you need to. Ageless Ice and Purpose do the same thing. Use them liberally once you get below 50% mana. With Endless Winter as you passive mana regen, you will never run into mana issues again.
===============================================
Justicar/Druid/Inquisitor(or Warden) - rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=00rad.Euz00ec.VV0Vh
This is another great combo. It provides more 'steady' DPS that dosn't rely on procs like Shaman does.
Aside from the passive abilities, the boost to DPS comes from two Druid abilities in particular. Crag Hammer and Eruption Of Life. Crag Hammer is a 1 hour buff that adds dmg to all of your melee attacks (including Even Justice).
Let's do the macros again, AoE Macro:
#show Even Justice
suppressmacrofailures
cast Eruption Of Life
cast Even Justice
Single Target Macro: (imprtant to add bombard, it does very good dmg and crits a lot)
#show Strike of Judgment
suppressmacrofailures
cast Sovereignty
cast Bolt Of Radiance
cast Bombard
cast Eruption Of Life
cast Censure
cast Strike Of Judgment
cast Waterjet
cast Vex
Rotation:
Shield Of Oak, pull 5 mobs with Single Target Macro above, use AoE Macro until everything is dead. Use Single target macro to finish of the last mob or two.
Use Fae Hammer and Purpose to replenish mana when needed.
================================================== ==
LEVEL 40 - Justicar/Druid
rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=00rad.Euz00ec0o.VVhVh0V
If you decide to stick with the Druid line, this is as far as I would take the Druid tree. I would not recommend putting any more points into Druid. With this build you get the greater faerie, which is a good healer, and you get a crit chance passive through your Crag hammer. We also added Reprieve from Justicar which is a massive heal on a 5 minute cooldown. Macros/rotation is pretty much the same as it was for the level 33 build.
After this it doesn't really matter. You can do this build at 48 rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=00rad.Euz00ec0o.VVhVh0V basically for the 38 points in Justicar so that you can get Just Defense, which is awesome 'oh **** button'.
Alternatively, you can add more point to Inquisitor to get Vex healing as well. You will be indestructible in this build. LEVEL 50 Justicar/Druid/Inquisitor rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=00rad.Euzo0ec0o.VVhVh0V.VLzb
================================================== ==
LEVEL 41- JUSTICAR/Inquisitor
If you kept with Justicar/Inquisitor line, your build should look something like this at level 41:
rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=00rd_.Euzo0ec0o.VvkbMx0o
Rotation:
vex everything, Fanaticism+Soul Drain, Even Justice until everything is dead
================================================== ==
LEVEL 44 Shaman/Justicar (yes, actually more points in Shaman than Justi)
rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=00rnd.Euz00ec0o.VedztMohk
Now, that's what asskicking build. My personal favorite. Drop Rage Of The North before you start your AoE macro and watch masses fall before you. I would usually drop Rage Of The North when I pull stupid amount of mobs and my HP keeps going down slowly. In the middle of the fight I drop Rage Of The North and my HP shoots to full, and everything magically dies . Love it.
As usual, let's do macros:
AoE Macro;
#show Even Justice
suppressmacrofailures
cast Jolt
cast Fated Blow
cast Glory Of The Chosen
cast Strike of The Maelstrom
cast Even Justice
Single target macro is the same as it was for level 33 build.
Rotation is the same as for your level 33 build.
This pretty much concludes Justicar/Shaman build. The rest of the points (8) you can spend as you see fit, it doesn't really matter. I usually grab Warden for some extra survivability with hots.
================================================== ==
LEVEL 50 Justicar/Inquisitor/Shaman
This is my dungeon Tank as well as a AoE Farmer build at 50. Because I don't have any free roles left I have to farm with my tank.
rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=00rdn.yuksVecooo.Vxkb.Vfdz
Rotation:
Vex 10+ mobs, Soul Drain, Even Justice until dead. Profit.
=======================================
LEVEL 50 - Justicar(26)/Inquisitor(26)/Shaman(14)
rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=00rdn.Eu0o0ec.VvkbMx0o.Vxdz
If I had more roles, I would make this build for AoE farming specifically.
P.S. Sorry for any typos or messed up links. I know Trion won't let me edit these posts anymore.
