If you've been playing the Beta test of RIFT then you'll know that selecting the right class and souls for your play style is very important. However, with RIFT's soul tree system where you can really mix up the builds for each class, it can be a tough decision and it's not always easy to get right. 

We tried to squeeze out details of builds created by the TRION dev team but that information is top secret that doesn't leave the TRION offices. To help us out, TRION selected four prolific Alpha testers who were happy to share their RIFT knowledge and soul builds with the gaming community.

Below are builds created by four prolific Alpha testers, take notes and give these a try if you're taking part in the Beta test which strats today (25 January).

Lice

• Name: Souldancer (PvP)
• 31 Assassin / 9 Bladedancer / 26 Infiltrator

Description:

Rogue PvP spec, hit and run your enemy, stuns will immobilize them, even if they run the bleed and poison effects should finish them off. Enhanced dodge will mitigate incoming attacks, while decimating your enemy. If you get in trouble call your allies and stealth, and watch the carnage.

Player: Tzigone

• Name: Immense Serendipity
• 28 Sentinel / 0 Purifier / 38 Warden

Description:

This spec, simply put, is amazing. You spam your tank with the follow HoTs; Healing Spray, Soothing Stream till x4, Healing Flood and Healing Current. As you're rotating through those HoT casts when you get serendipity buff, you cast healing invocation and, if needed, follow up with a healing breath for a huge burst heal. Your group heal buttons are, Orbs of the Tide, Healing Flood, Healing Showers, Divine Call and Healing Communion. There is so much awesomeness for only 50 words, so I'll just stop here.

Player: Slacka

• Bardy
• 25 Ranger / 36 Bard / 5 Riftstalker

Description:

Has all the important enhancements across the Bard soul, a 15% boost to attack power from Riftstalker that enhances Bard Healing as well as DPS, and can stay at range to focus on maintaining buffs and debuffs, without losing too much damage thanks to the ranger skills and pet.

Player: Raily

• Name: The Allrounder Cleric
• 26 Justicar / 20 Sentinel / 20 Inquisitor

Description:

With this build you’re capable of doing anything you want, but mostly I prefer it for open world PvE. You can heal, offtank, range DPS or a melee DPS. You can even tank and/or kite elite mobs with no problems. And because I play on a PvP server, it’s also good for PvP because of the additional life you get, along with heal and damage, and at least some good CCS like silence, knockbacks, and slows! The Inquisitor and Sentinel abilities provides strong DoTs and massive instant damage spells, and the Justicar/Sentinel combo gives you instant and cast heal spells. It’s a perfect combo for survivability in PvE and PvP, support and DPS for grouping and an “allround” solo character in general. I also succeeded with this build in Warfronts!

Player: Trog

• Name: The Hanlo Slayer
• 32 Justicar / 31 Shaman / 3 Sentinel

Description:

This is an extremely viable PvP melee build because you have an extreme amount of survivability through heals. You can interrupt casters without using a GCD, stun, root and snare your target repeatedly while doing the best melee DPS clerics can do **which isn't much at all**. Also, if you're using Justicar abilities **which you should be** you'll get 25% of the damage returned to you as health plus, you can place righteous mandate on a PvP friend and heal them for any over heals you'd get.

If you're wanting to take part in the Beta, you can pick up a special VIP beta key from us here at IncGamers and for more RIFT news, forums and game info head to RIFT: IncGamers.
