Rift Review Part 5 PvE

Hardcore Player vs. Everyone (PvE)

If pretending to be a regular armor smith or guarding the Codex against a horde of players rushing to you all by yourself happens so to be not interesting, then roll into the regions and do PvE. Like the name suggest, PvE is a type of multiplayer interactive conflict when the player fights against the non-controllable players (npcs). "That sounds boring. Who shanks a npc? Everyone can do that." True, but it it doesn't apply to some cases. There are basically two types of npcs. One is from the world of Telara and another one is from the elemental planes. The ones from the elemental planes are much stronger than the ones from Telara. Why? Probably they want to kill you and everyone else. The only way these tough dudes to get to Telara is through something called a rift. Once the rift is opened, monsters start pouring through and it is your job to kill them all. Every once a while, there will be something called a major invasion. A major invasion is basically when one of the six deities gets into a bad mood, he or she will send out a ranked soldier (lieutenant, servant, harbinger, etc.) and a crap ton of mobs toward a region for complete annihilation.

A plain, old earth rift. Nothing a group of ascended can't handle

Oh crap! Inhibrius is here! Call all homies to arms!

Even though weaker than the mobs from the elemental planes, the ones on Telara gives a hell of a fight before going down. Actually, some of the mobs of Telara are even tougher to kill than the mobs from the elemental planes. Since they are tougher, the certain mobs requires heavy thinking, clever strategy, and extreme skill in order to combat. Let me give you a situation. There is only one mob in the room and you are by yourself. You have 1,500 health and do 230 damage each hit and heal 100 health while the mob you are trying to kill have 4,000 health and does 100 damage each hit and every 30 seconds, the mob will do an area that surrounds 1/8 of the room and kills you within 5 seconds. How can you get this guy? Due to the difficulty, I am not sure you can solo and not die. Might as well bring a homie to back you up.

BOSS FIGHT! Will the brave ascended defeat this boss? *

He seems tough. Gotta bring a homie with you, maybe two for this guy. *
