This HD video is narrated footage of my level 15 Warrior in a PVP "battleground" in the new MMORPG Rift.

As I mentioned in the video, in Rift each class for a given spec can choose 3 out of 9 talent trees, which provides a huge amount of customization.

Here is my spec:

My particular build relies on the following synergistic mechanics:
1. some key Riftblade abilities - e.g. Fiery Burst DoT, Flamespear, etc) do not scale based on weapon damage, therefore using a 1H isn't a significant DPS loss
2. many Riftblade abilities deal non-Physical damage, which I like, as all targets (including Plate wearers) feel equally squishy
3. it's a reasonably durable build given that I have a shield and points in the "tank" Paladin tree

Tips:
1. Build AtPts (Attack Points) from range using Flamespear
2. Remember that Flamespear can apply Fiery Burst
3. Make decisions on what abilities don't synergize with your spec. For example, I use Punishing Blow instead of Righteous Blow, because PB has a larger static damage component
4. Reactive abilities often have favorable mechanics - e.g. Retaliation has a low mana cost, is off the GCD, and delivers good damage - so make sure to hotkey/macro them accordingly.

Errata:
1. as I mentioned in the video at level 15 I should have 12 points in the Riftblade tree not 10
2. my friend Cas (Nathan) is a Warden not Warrior. He plays a melee healer similar to Warhammer Warrior Priest but I don't really know any class mechanics yet aside from Warrior
