Rift: Developers Working to Fix Corrupted Souls

Rift Junkies reports that Trion is trying to fix the drop rate of corrupted souls.  It may be that there is a problem with the content that doesn't allow players to get to where these drop.  I'm not sure about that but if you've noticed a problem, here is what the developers say.

Rift: Warrior Casting Sequences/Rotations UPDATED

I've started collecting casting sequences (rotations) for warriors.  Note the links at the top for warrior resources.  This is a wonderful resource for two flavors of warriors:  Paladin/ Void Knight/Warlord (rotations for several situations are listed), and a farming AoE build for a RiftBlade/Reaver/WarBlade.

Rift: Cleric Casting Sequences/Rotations

Whether you call the spells you string together casting sequences or call them rotations, players are always looking for recommendations for good macros.  Here are the ones I've found recently, but I can't say how well they work for your flavor of cleric.

http://forums.riftgame.com/archive/index.php/t-97353.html?s=25b09da632721b48ed9e906567ba7c8b

This "collection of cleric builds" has a rotation for the following builds:  Shaman/Druid/Sentinel, for the Cabalist/ Inquisitor/ Sentinel, for the Shaman/Justical/Sentinel tanking build, for a Justicar/Shaman leveling build, and for a Druid/Shaman/Sentinel solo melee leveling build.
http://www.progamercity.net/rift-guides/1270-guide-rift-cleric-builds-collection.html

The Rift Cleric Builds website has a summary page of builds on the home page, some of which have rotations listed.  Those include the Shaman/Druid/Sentinel pet leveling build (to level 35), Cabalist/ Inquisitor/Sentinel DPS leveling build, a Shaman/Justicar/Sentinel tank leveling build, a Justicar/Shaman solo leveling melee build, and a Druid/Shaman/Sentinel solo melee leveling build.  I expect this information to change but the above are what are listed today.
http://riftclericbuilds.com/

This site has a nice explanation of the Cabalist/Inquisitor/Warden build for AoE Damage casting and leveling, including the rotation.

Rift: Macros and Rotations (with G15 Info)

While looking for spell rotation recommendations I found this note from Behindya about writing macros for a character's spells.  I wanted to capture it here for those who are writing macros for their rotations.

"I'm with the OP on this one. I really enjoy writing Macros, it's like a mini game for me. I find it almost impossible to move and hit the number keys in the heat of battle; I much prefer to come up with a solid rotation and put it in a macro.

At the moment, instant cast abilities can't be used in a macro unless they are at the end (because they will always pop and thus end the macro). Instead of a cast sequence, what I'd like to see is this kind of syntax:

cast

RecastWaitTime = (optional) Number of seconds to wait before re-casting.

A cast sequence has limitations, especially when trying to efficiently keep DOT's on a target or trying to pop something that uses combo points of some sort. This syntax is simple and provides flexibility to come up with some creative macros. Also, nerds like me will find it fun."
http://forums.riftgame.com/showthread.php?142791-Suggestion-Cast-Sequence-Macro

I also found this answer to a request for helping setting up Rift rotations on a G15 game pad.
