Edit rather than double post: I'm loving the spec 15 SoH with the Smiter but I am so underwhelmed by RoJ it's stupid. By the time it lands the spike is either done or failing and I'm going to have to c-space. I probably won't put this on the team in the OP but I am taking Signet of Judgment over RoJ.

If you don't like RoJ, you can try one of the new doublecast spells. You'd have to spec into them a bit, but I think it's worth investigating. Stone sheath is probably the best bet for crit immunity AoE weakness and only 5 energy.

You mean keep the monk primary and high smiting and split into earth? I'm unsure.

The KD on the MoP target from SoJ is pretty nice for cleaner spikes, I don't have to take as much energy managment and it's one less thing to micro on a spike which tbh is the main reason I prefer it.

RoJ has a 2 second casting time as it is and I find that unless you force the use of RoJ he will run up and heal you before casting RoJ making RoJ even later to the party. I can see how RoJ bars work in spikes when the rest of the spike is just more RoJ because they should cast at a similar time. You might be left with a slower spike but meh, people are RoJ crazy.

I have a few minor changes I want to make already but i'll wait untill there are a few more to update the OP.

W00t, new Rit hero added. Main downside of running 3 mesmers is gone.

Had to be 2 days after I got my mercs though...
