My main is a rogue who I have played almost exclusively since Rift was released. I never levelled up an alt to 50 because I did not want to grind PAs. Now that PAs are shared, I have considered levelling up a mage to 50 and switching over to that calling for Storm Legion.
The main thing that matters to me with MMO gameplay is how combat gameplay rewards skilled players. I do not really like how the macro system in Rift prior to 1.11 made DPSing so simple where you could get by with just pressing a couple of buttons over and over. I like the idea of having to master rotations, monitor your cooldowns, and utilize reactive abilities quickly or you miss out.
I'm not concerned with which calling does more DPS. Between the two callings, which one is the most challenging, which to me means more fun to play, in terms of the criteria I listed above?
Thanks
