Class
From Telarapedia
There are hundreds of potential class combinations in Rift: Planes of Telara. Once inside the game, you can choose one of many different starting classes during character creation, based on which Calling you choose. Later on, you will have the opportunity to change and enhance these classes in unique ways, by switching your soul(s).[1]
- There will be at least 8 starting classes[2], with different classes for different factions[3][4]. On the upper end, there could possibly be 12+ classes per faction[3], and the different faction equivalents will not be identical mirror copies.[5]
- There will be no cooldown on switching your classes around, but you will have to go to a city and be out of combat to do so.[6]
