RIFT 1.6 - Peeping upon Planar Attunement Tier2

Date: Nov 02 2011 Views: () Comments ()

Since rare information from the PTS about the Planar Attunement Tier 2, We could only peep some pieces of words about it. So far, we know that only competely fill out the plane's Tier 1 can you unlock Tier 2. That means that you have to fill up every hexes at every ranks. Grinding? I hope not. It's a negative trend actually.

Air - Droughtlands
Life - Scarwood

Death - Vampiric Essence - Give damage abilities the chance to return 10% of the damage in healing for 2 hrs.
Air - increase wisdom by 30 for 2 hrs.

Rogue

Each Tier 2 Attunement has:

Two hexes for each of the weapon masteries in the tier below. So T2 death attunement has two dagger and two axe masteries, each with 4 ranks, just like the previous level, with +0.2 dps each rank. (150/175/200/225)
Three ward hexes of three ranks each that reduce damage from rift creatures of that type by 1/2/3% (125/175/225)
One hex of +resist with thee ranks (75/100/125)
Five +stat hexes of three ranks each, identical to the previous tier (100/130/170)
One major lure hex (200)

Notes

At the moment, the charge-consuming 600-pt abilities don’t work, so I couldn’t check what it stacks with / whether it persists through death.

The Fire Teleport to Stonefield sends you to Ember Isle instead.

Tier 2 Planar Attunement on PTS
