After the long discussion between RIFT team and players, we finally reached the end. Many of players spend their time on PTS and sharing the feedback. Panda Elrar, who is the RIFT Community Manager thanks all players in the forum. They’ve crafted a final set of changes based on our discussions and testing. This is what you’ll be seeing when 1.5 is released later this week in addition to changes listed in the current patch notes:

We’ve been able to make several improvements but as a reminder, these are not the extent of changes we have in the works for tanking – additional improvements will be coming soon in a smaller update following 1.5.
