RIFT - iSpam! The Sweeper! 3k+ AOE! Patch 1.7! Macro's in the Description (1080 HD)

********PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION********

********This build is for PvP! I highly recommend this build!********

This build is called...well, the "Divine Knight" for RPers. But for PvPers we will call this "The Sweeper!"

*sweep sweep sweep*

INTRO! This build is very similar to Ragestorm, except the skill of choice with this build is Sweeping Strikes(Swapping Void Knight's "Ragestorm for Paladin's "Sweeping Strike"). You also pick up a full heal with Touch of Life that's on a 5 minute cool down, range stun with Light's Hammer, and extra block with Shield of the Hero(Buff) and Stalwart Shield(Passive). I was enjoying PvEing with this build while running around Ember Isle doing quest solo. This is also a great build for PvP, mostly groupPvP due to the high amount of AOE potential and spreading Lingering Wounds like a plague.
Give it a try! :)

THE BUILD!(OLD!) - http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=1ck...

THE UPDATED BUILD FOR PvP!(NEW!) - http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=1ch...
NOTE! Since we are all given Break Free at level 1 now, you no longer have to go 16 in the Paladin tree to get a CC breaker! So I put those 4 points in the champion tree to max out Intense Training and get Bloodthirst!

or

THE OTHER PVP BUILD! http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=1ch...
NOTE! Go 32 in the Riftblade tree for Windspear(Silence)! You pick up Fork so you can Fork+Windspear to AOE silence three targets!

Parse:3k+ AOE

Tips!
1). Only try to use "Sweeping Strikes" when you have your Two-Hander equipped.
2). Swap between your Two-Hander/Sword & Board macros when needed!
3). Only use Touch of Life when you know it will..."Change the tide" of the battle, don't waste it while getting zerg'd or 1 vs. 5!


To use this build to its fullest potential you need to utilize the "block" that is from the Paladin tree. So in order to do this you will have to create a macro that will allow you to alternate from a Two- Hander to a Sword & Board setup.

NOTE! You can only swap weapons while in combat!

The loadequip is there so the macro reads what "equipment" set you want to equip! So in order to do this put on all the equipment/weapons you want for your loadequip.

So when you have your Two-Hander equipped type "/saveequip 1"

Then, you will equip a shield and One-Hander and type "/saveequip 2"

/loadequp 1 - Will be your Two-Hander stance.

/loadequip 2 - Will be for your Sword and Board stance.

Macro's: It's best to have Sweeping Strikes out of the macro! It should only be situational not spammable! But it is your choice! :)

You can come onto Briarcliff and check out how i use this spec. I destroy people in WF's. The use of dummies shown by BeatrixCid is great because people can follow it and check out the range of the sweeping strikes. I transition between sword and board and 2h all the time and found your macros for 1h and 2h on point! Keep up the good work brotha Thaldor Briarcliff

[BeatrixCid]

Thanks a lot man! I appreciate it. :)

[LordxOni]

Cool! I'll use this build for PvP! Thanks for the upload!

Now I need some macros lol

[BeatrixCid]

Your welcome. Read the description! It has all the macro's! :)

[LordxOni]

Is this build just for pvp?

[BeatrixCid]

It's definitely more of a PvP build, but you can use it to solo grind in PvE. You don't want to do a dungeon/raid while using this because "Sweeping Strikes", the main skill of this build, generates a lot of threat! So it's not really viable for raids/dungeons.

Hey, where in this video do you change to a shield and sword?

keep up the good videos, their awesome!

[LordxOni]

Wil do! I'lll refer back to this vid when I'm 50 lol currently at 31 i tried the macros and it wasn't working. Gotta look more into this macro stuff. Thanks for the reply!

[BeatrixCid]

Hey man!  I'm planning on uploading PvP videos of all the iSpam videos guides/builds, I just currently don't! These videos do take time. ;)

Cheers!

Hey; all you show is the builds and what they do to the training dummies; Show them in action in a warfront... dummies don't hit back. It's nice damage but I mean come on.
