I need a good rit PvE build for DMG dealing, preferably with 1 self-heal (Soothing Memories, Mend Flesh and Body)

I really need help, right now I'm stuck with Caretaker's Charge..and all my guild members say it sucks

[skill]Ancestors' Rage[/skill][skill]Splinter Weapon[/skill]

Terra said it all. Then you can add some sirit, some heal, some other fun stuff, its all good.

horseradish · Mar 17, 2008, 01:23 AM // 01:23

you can also go Rt/P with [skill]Spirit's Strength[/skill].

That's the good thing about rits, for general PvE there's only a few staple skills (mostly ancestor's/splinter weapon) and the rest can be entirely up to your preference / playing style. What i tend to do is this..

[skill]Mighty was Vorizun[/skill] / [skill]Channeled Strike[/skill] / [skill]Ancestors' Rage[/skill] / [skill]Splinter Weapon[/skill] / [skill]Empowerment[/skill] / [skill]Arcane Echo[/skill] / [skill]Offering of Spirit[/skill] / [skill]Flesh of my Flesh[/skill]

My rit's main build is primarily channeling with some small restoration magic for backup (recuperation and spirit light which is used as a self heal but works nicely on allies too).

Some must-haves if you wanna go channeling:
[skill]Spirit Burn[/skill]
[skill]Ancestor's Rage[/skill]
[skill]Splinter Weapon[/skill]
[skill]Channeled Strike[/skill]

Being a little bit more serious Splinter and Ancestor's are your build, everything else is really extra... I think you're best bet after that would be Resto skills, Prot Kaolai, Death Pact Sig, Wielders Boon.. probably run Offering of Spirit too

Or just look around at any one of the five billion threads about the exact same thing.

[skill]Offering of Spirit[/skill][skill]splinter weapon[/skill][skill]ancestors' rage[/skill][skill]spirit burn[/skill][skill]mend body and soul[/skill][skill]weapon of warding[/skill][skill]life[/skill][skill]flesh of my flesh[/skill]

12+1+1 Channel
10+1 Restoration
8+1 Spawning

This is a balanced approach. Rit is about support and balance, not pure damage or heal.

In the event of going more channel or heal...

[skill]channeled strike[/skill][skill]essence strike[/skill][skill]spirit rift[/skill] - damage
[skill]destruction[/skill][skill]empowerment[/skill][skill]bloodsong[/skill] - spirit
[skill]spirit light[/skill][skill]soothing memories[/skill][skill]wielder's boon[/skill] - heal
[skill]protective was kaolai[/skill][skill]cruel was daoshen[/skill] - item
[skill]death pact signet[/skill] - rez

[skill]attuned was songkai[/skill][skill]grasping was kuurong[/skill][skill]destructive was glaive[/skill]

blue.rellik · Mar 17, 2008, 03:13 AM // 03:13

I remembered using Destructive was Glaive when I was bringing my rit through NF. I would cast it, cast Spirit Rift at a bunch of Kournans, run up to them and cast Ancestors then drop Glaive's ashes.

spirit of defeat · Mar 17, 2008, 09:47 AM // 09:47

I was wondering if the sunspear skill Intensity is any good to sombine with channeling like Rage, I doubt it will boost splinter, but it might be usefull,

any thoughts on it?

The guide contains several specimen builds. If you want damage and healing, Channeling-Resto hybrids are quite commonplace.

Ritualist Guide

Caretaker's Charge is a severely underpowered Mind Blast. If it has a quicker recharge and/or a greater energy gain it would be worth the time but until then it stays on the rubbish heap.

gunster · Mar 17, 2008, 01:10 PM // 13:10

Thanks guys.

I see a build forming up in my head, but I'm lacking an elite

I see that most of u guys are using Offering of Spirits, should I use that elite over caretaker's Charge?

Yes.

I wish Caretaker's Charge was more useful, I really do.

cgruber · Mar 17, 2008, 02:42 PM // 14:42

Caretakers is excellent in PVP for a pressure channeling build. But yeah, it's not a great one for PVE.

samcobra · Mar 17, 2008, 03:11 PM // 15:11

No, it's pretty bad in PvP as well.

Cosmic Error · Mar 17, 2008, 06:59 PM // 18:59

Ancestors' Rage and Splinter Weapon are great, but you still have 6 skill slots left over. Stay away from the spirit-conditional damage spells like Spirit Burn.

My favorite skill for a ritualist is [card]Spirit Rift[/card]
When I use it, I feel like a Fire Elementalist.

hurric · Mar 17, 2008, 07:54 PM // 19:54

^ you mean air elementalist?

spirit of defeat · Mar 17, 2008, 09:14 PM // 21:14

Any idea's to combine then with the sunspear skill Intensity
could be an easy way to do 25% more damage.

Spirit Rift is big AoE damage, not obscene single-target damage.
