Default Restoration Ritualists?

I like Rits, they are a felxible support class in that they can deal considerable damage with spirts and channeling magic, while also being relitivly effective healers. I'm currently looking at Restoration magic and I have a few builds in the back of my head, and I was wondering if I could get some feed back on them.

10 - Channeling Magic
11 - Restoration Magic
10 - Spawing Power
[skill]Mend Body and Soul[/skill][skill]Spirit Light[/skill][skill]Ghostmirror Light[/skill][skill]Life[/skill][skill]Generous was Tsungrai[/skill][skill]Soothing Memories[/skill][skill]Offering of Spirit[/skill][skill]Death Pact Signet[/skill]

I'll post more later, I have to head out now.

Question: Why is your spawning so high? You have no linked skills to it and only 1 spirit. imho, you should just cut down on it and up restoration and channeling.

I agree.

Max Restoration, max Channeling is all you need. Spawning's not required...Life only lasts 20 seconds, so it's not like it needs the extra health Spawning Power inherently gives it.

Get rid of Generous was Tsungrai and take Protective was Kaolai

Get rid of Ghostmirror Light in favour of a weapon spell like Weapon of Warding, or Resilient Weapon.

/agree
Though I like [wiki]Pure Was Li Ming[/wiki], instead of Kaolai better.

Also perhaps soothing could be replaced by [skill=text]Weapon of Shadow[/skill].

Ehh, I'd go with Kaolai over Ming... Heal Party > Widespread Condi rip.
As well as Weapon of Warding over ghostmirror...

You don't need that many heals, and high Channeling without Splinter/Rage is a waste. Also, Warding>Shadow.

I was just about to suggest taking Splinter/A Rage. XD

[skill]Splinter Weapon[/skill][skill]Ancestors' Rage[/skill][skill]Spirit Light[/skill][skill]Mend Body and Soul[/skill][skill]Weapon of Warding[/skill][skill]Offering of Spirit[/skill][skill]Life[/skill][skill]Death Pact Signet[/skill]

That should suit you well...

[skill]Bloodsong[/skill] could be brought instead of Life if you want, but it's all just flavor.

The main thing is, I am going for a pure healing Rit, rather than a damage buff rit. I know splinter and rage are both efective, but I'd rather use more healing spells than anything.

You don't need more than MB&S and Spirit Light though. All healing skills do pretty much the same thing, so it's a waste of a skill slot taking more than the best two.

it is, but you don't need more then 2 heal skills
spamming spirit light and mbas on recharge is enough heal. Use other slots for damage =)
depending on the situation/your preference you are more using the channeling or the resto skills

I believe this is for PvE, in which case Splinter+Life>Warmonger's+Bloodsong.

It is for PvE, but i have found it works well in other situations as well. It works well at Fort Aspenwood, decent in Alliance battles, and is fariyl good in RA. I've tested it before, just never posted it before.

You could put [skill]Weapon of Warding[/skill] and [skill]Vengeful Weapon[/skill] in there as some pseudo protection.

It's kind of a waste to spec into Channeling for only one skill.

I must say I usually specialize in many weapons spells and channeling.

But if you want a mix, try this:

http://www.pvxwiki.com/wiki/?title=S...k DjtxOulzLGA

Template: OACjEyiM5MeTp5kDjtxOulzLGA

Ancestors' Rage
Mend Body and Soul
Spirit Light
Splinter Weapon
Nightmare Weapon
Offering of Spirit
Bloodsong
Flesh of My Flesh

You can of course also take Vampirism. I just can only repeat, if you focus on Channeling and the many weapon spells and Ancestor's Rage/Spirit Rift, you probably contribute more than if you do a half-healing job or a full ritualist healer, where I would prefer a Necro/Rit actually.

This is my generic PVE Hybrid build:



[skill]Offering Of Spirit[/skill] - energy management

[skill]Mend Body And Soul[/skill][skill]Weapon of Warding[/skill] - individual defensive support

[skill]Life[/skill][skill]Recuperation[/skill] - party-wide support

[skill]Splinter Weapon[/skill][skill]Ancestors' Rage[/skill] - offensive/damage support

[skill]Flesh Of My Flesh[/skill] - rez


My attribute distribution is either resto 16 or chan 16. But I can always dynamically choose which attribute to max AS NEEDED while out in quest or mission simply by switching headgear and handgear.

Perhaps, only recuperation and FoMF are replace from time to time.

Hope this gives the OP another idea and tweak it according to his style.

My pure resto build =
[skill]Preservation[/skill][skill]Ghostly Haste[/skill][skill]Weapon of Shadow[/skill][skill]Spirit Light[/skill][skill]Weapon of Warding[/skill][skill]Swap[/skill][skill]Lively was Naomei[/skill]
12+1 spawn
12+1+3 Resto

I replace [skill=text]Weapon of Shadow[/skill] with [skill=text]Ghostmirror Light[/skill] for no obvious reason sometimes.

I used to take [skill=text]Death Pact Signet[/skill] But it's no good to have a healer lying down on the job when allies are dying.
