Every week we try to bring you the latest hot topics and driving conversations from the RIFT community. Let’s get started.

Support and CC Roles, PVP and PVE
This week we find that there are a few sore spots players have with support roles and their effects on PVP and PVE. In this thread on the official forums we find this argument:

As I leveled my Mage from 1-50, I played a Dom/SC build. I liked the control that I got from Ice Based spells to contribute to the great CC that Dom posessed. However, on the way from 1-50, as I LFG’ed for dungs, CC was looked at as a waste of time, just prolonging runs. … Trion creates all these interesting Souls that can fill utility roles, then nerfs the encounters to make cc/utility completly useless.

What do you think? Should CC and control have a more prominent role in PVE gameplay?

Rift Junkies is going to start a new segment that we hope to publish on a regular basis. We plan on rounding up articles and forum threads that seem to be hot topics or strong community voices and present them to you in a nice neat article.

If you find an article or a heated forum thread don’t hesitate sending it to us via Draegan’s email (Draegan@riftjunkies.com) and we’ll investigate it.

With that being said, let’s get into the topics of the day. Keep reading after the break for the full list.
