Spirit rift going to be very ineffective once people know what it does. Same goes to destruction.

PvE build? yea, you will be fine.

Not sure what Glyph of Renewal is aimed at recharging in the first skill set. Wailing Weapon looks like the only one that actually has a recharge that'd necessitate its use, and even then, seeing as it only interrupts attacks, it seems a bit silly to use it for that o_o

Interesting. I can see people going E/Rt air spike after release, so kudos for going after the combo first.

I'm doing this while doing other things, bear with me. Anyway, the point is to start throwing out possibilities for the two new professions as SECONDARIES.

Because just about everyone and their mother will have Rt/A and A/Rt. And I hate being cookie cutter builds.

Quoted for the simple truth of the matter. Cookie cutter builds ftl.

One of the hardest thing in my opinion to do anything with them as 2ndary is that, we do not know what new 25 skills core professions got. =(

Although said to be 2nd profession... but from the skill list, it seem like going primary Rt would be better as there are more Rt skills than ele skills; aside the energy storage that is.

Btw, why not consider using spirit rift with fire line instead? Both AoE, AoE spike =D

Will Thunderclap be useful at all with Lightning channeling?

I guess it would be better just to take Grasping was Kuurong...

fiery · Feb 10, 2006, 02:38 PM // 14:38

only reason im going assain/ritualist is to kill two birds with one stone, get the quests and weapons mods all on one charcter and opened on PVP.

These three spells alone can be a massive spike.

Cast Cruel Was Daoshen.
Cast Spirit Rift
Cast Ancestor's Rage.
Drop ashes.

After you cast Ancestor's Rage, adjacent foes are struck for 82 lightning damage, about the same time Spirit Right will cause 94 lightning damage and as soon as you cast Ancestor's Rage, drop the ashes to cause another 112 lightning damage. So within a 1 or 2 seconds, theoretically you could do 82+94+112 = 288 lightning damage to all adjacent foes.

Throw in some Earth magic, rather than the other lightning skills, you could be a pretty good Ward/Spiker.

i wonder if spirit rift will effect pve mobs like aoe. you think they will just sit there and take it? that could really rock for farming with a 5 second recharge
