Included below is my final video from the Rift beta events. The spec is slightly different than FILTHY DIRTY ROGUE pt.1 in the fact that I switched out Blade Dancer for Marksman. I really missed Side Steps from the Blade Dancer tree when dealing with melee Warriors or other Assassins but I also loved having the ability to use a few ranged abilities when other players attempted to kite me or run away. I also loved the ability to flee much better using the combination of the Marksman ability On the Double as well as the Riftstalker 0 point commitment ability Shadow Shift. By the end of the final beta my spec changed again & I removed Marksman as it made sense to go back to Riftstalker as my secondary soul for the improved survivability and the fact that I could close distance on kiters and runners much more effectively with access to many more teleports in the tree. This also gave me back Side Steps as Blade Dancer became my 0 point commitment third soul.
This will be the last video from the Dwarf known as Ghost as I did not acquire the name at launch & I also decided to roll Defiant for a change. I wanted everything to be a new experience and considering that my guild & I saw all the way up to level 42 on Guardian side during beta we made the decision to switch over to Defiant for a totally new experience at launch.
I might still release a new Rift PvP video someday but I barely have time for the game at the moment and although it is the only MMO I am currently subscribed to I just can't dedicate the time that it takes to keep up with the pack these days.

Beta #5 & the infamous PvP video.
Received my email earlier tonight & I am now all patched up & ready to go for beta #5. If you weren't aware, my beta character is named "Ghost" & I play the Guardian side as a Dwarf Assassin on the Lotham PvP server.
The PvP is sure to be fierce with the level cap raised to 30 & access to a new shared contested zone called Scarlet Gorge. If that wasn't enough I believe I might have even more competition than the average player due to my recent PvP video "FILTHY DIRTY ROGUE" from beta #4. The video had received nearly 10,000 views within three days after I posted it & resulted in over 36 pages of discussion on the official forums in these respective threads:
Thread #1:
FILTHY DIRTY ROGUE - Assassin World PvP / Warfronts
Thread #2:
Melee rogues are capable
To top all of that off...I have been receiving multiple private messages on both youtube & on the official forums with threats from various players that want to test my skills. Here are just a few of my favorite messages:
"U suck nub - We will hunt you down weak ganker, hide and cry bitch, your time will come."
"So, I'm coming for you with like 4-5 of my hardcore pvp friends, what name u will choose and server. We saw you are really skilled and we need to hunt and train on you on our times in Rift. This will be nice because even if you dont tell us we will find out easy, people talk allot and names will be easy to trak. We will record real PVP movie with you and people will enjoy, and know your real skill. Be afraid not to join a pvp server or else you will just be a laugh"
I have been having quite the laugh on the account of these messages so keep them coming! It isn't all bad though, through all of the hate emails there has also been a generous amount of love from the community. I have received a lot of praise regarding the video & I have received an overwhelming amount of questions regarding rogues, my Assassin build / rotations & about the game Rift in general.
I am sure I will be quite the hunted Dwarf on Lotham but knowing this is only going to make playing the game & creating FILTHY DIRTY ROGUE pt.2 all the more satisfying. Will you fight alongside me or will you possibly end up another victim featured in my next PvP video? See you all on the battlefields.
