Due to a complete issue with the level order with the builds I edited this post to simplify it

Level 10
http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=10drn.c.Vuz

Macros

Single target

suppressmacrofailures
cast sanction heretic
cast bolt of radiance
cast strike of judgment

Buffs:

Salvation – self heal through damage

Cavalier – generates convictions, required for doctrine abilities (heals) in the Justicar tree.

Mien of Honor – Increase heals through Salvation and reduce threat.

Vengeance of the Winter Storm – cause your attacks to deal addition damage.

Strategy:

Fairly straight forward at this level. You use Vex to pull mobs (this is a dot) and then spam your single target macro until the target is dead. You have no AoE abilities at this level so keep your pulls to single target. Use Doctrine of Bliss as your self heal.

Level 15
http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=10drn.VLz.Vuz

No change in macros

Buffs:

Armor of Devotion – increase your dps

Armor of Treachery – increase your survival.

Strategy:

Exact same as level 10, except now you have two buffs, choose accordingly as only one can be active at one time.

Level 20
http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=10drn.Vxkb.Vuz.M

Macros:

Single target

suppressmacrofailures
cast sanction heretic
cast bolt of radiance
cast strike of judgment

AoE

suppressmacrofailures
cast soul drain

Buffs:


Courage of the Jaguar – Make you crit more by increasing your dex.

Strategy:

Pulling with Vex is a must as it heals you for the damage it does. You can now pull multiple mobs, then use your AoE macro and watch as the damage from Soul Drain essentially heal you back to full (Vex will heal you for while you try to get Soul Drain off as it is a long cast). Adjust your buffs accordingly for survival/more dps. Use Aggressive Renewal for mana regen.

Level 25
http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=10drn.Vxkb.VuMo.Vzz

Single target

suppressmacrofailures
cast fated blow
cast sanction heretic
cast lightning hammer
cast bolt of radiance
cast strike of judgment

AoE

suppressmacrofailures
cast fated blow
cast soul drain

Buffs:

Mien of Leadership – Tanky kind of stuff, increase your endur/armor at loss of dps. Use if you need survival, otherwise use Mien of Honor.

Reparation – this will heal your group while you dps, make you an excellent offhealer in 5 man dungeons.

Strategy: Use Glacial Shield on pull and whenever it is up, otherwise it is pretty much same as before – Vex and then macros. You can now use Purpose to regain back mana in addition to aggressive renewal.

Level 30
http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=10drn.Vxkb.VuMo.Vez

Macros:

Single target

suppressmacrofailures
cast glory of the chosen
cast fated blow
cast sanction heretic
cast lightning hammer
cast massive blow
cast bolt of radiance
cast strike of judgment

AoE

suppressmacrofailures
cast glory of the chosen
cast fated blow
cast soul drain

Strategy: Same as before, except now you have Glory of the Chosen as a heal added to your macro rotation and Ageless Ice as an addition mana regen. Pop it the same time as your Purpose for a fast regain of mana. You can even macro Glory of the Chosen to Vex for a while quick heal if you get critted on pulling.

Level 35
http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=10...b.AuMo0z.Vek0z

Macros:

Single target

suppressmacrofailures
cast jolt
cast glory of the chosen
cast fated blow
cast sanction heretic
cast lightning hammer
cast massive blow
cast bolt of radiance
cast strike of judgment

AoE

suppressmacrofailures
cast jolt
cast glory of the chosen
cast fated blow
cast soul drain
cast avalanche strike

Buffs:

Righteous Mandate – put this on the tank to help heal him as you DPS if you are running 5 man dungeons.

Strategy: Jolt is likely to be your biggest hit. It does air damage you have two options from level 35 to level 40. You can either go into 4/5 in the air damage increaser in the shaman tree first for bigger single target DPS or get 18 points into the justicar tree first for even justice for more AoE dps that generates convictions at the same time. Either way, by the time you are level 40, you will be able to get both anyways.

Level 40
http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=10...AuMo0c.Vek0p0o

Macros:

Single target

suppressmacrofailures
cast jolt
cast glory of the chosen
cast fated blow
cast sanction heretic
cast strike of the maelstrom
cast lightning hammer
cast massive blow
cast bolt of radiance
cast strike of judgment

AoE

suppressmacrofailures
cast jolt
cast glory of the chosen
cast fated blow
cast soul drain
cast strike of the maelstrom
cast even justice

Strategy: Not much new here except your AoE abilities got a bit more beefer with the addition of two new AoE abilities.

Level 45
http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=10...Mo0c.Ved0t0s0z

Macros:

Single target

suppressmacrofailures
cast jolt
cast glory of the chosen
cast fated blow
cast sanction heretic
cast strike of the maelstrom
cast lightning hammer
cast massive blow
cast bolt of radiance
cast strike of judgment

AoE

suppressmacrofailures
cast jolt
cast glory of the chosen
cast fated blow
cast soul drain
cast strike of the maelstrom
cast even justice

Strategy: You gain Battle Charge, use it when get snared on pull or when you want to jump to caster mobs quickly. From 45 to 50 I recommend getting the Rage of the North ability in the shaman tree first before finishing off the justicar tree.

Level 50
http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=00...Ved0t0shk.Vxkb

Macros:

Single target

suppressmacrofailures
cast jolt
cast glory of the chosen
cast fated blow
cast sanction heretic
cast strike of the maelstrom
cast lightning hammer
cast massive blow
cast sovereignty
cast bolt of radiance
cast strike of judgment

AoE

suppressmacrofailures
cast rage of the north
cast jolt
cast glory of the chosen
cast fated blow
cast soul drain
cast strike of the maelstrom
cast even justice

Strategy: The author of Duracell summarized the strat quite well in his own words so I will just quote him.

Thanks for posting that. I started playing recently and I've been looking for something like this.

I'm going to try it out tonight.

I have a question. In all of the specs I see for this build I always see people taking the point in Reparation. Why is this?

This build is primarily our solo farming build. I dont understand why we would waste the point in a ability that does not affect us when we are alone. If you use this build to help clear trash in 5 mans you could make a minor case for it but there are higher DPS specs you could be using for instances.

I am baically just looking to understand why this selection is made. It seems to me that an extra point in Shielf of Faith or Armor of Virtue would be much more viable given that this is primarily a 'solo' spec.

[Nyyx42]

will work well with my support spec with a tweak or 2
