Update Ritualists
My main is my ritualist, and I have gotten him so far that I dont want to spend my time on any other guy. Some things bug me while I play him.
Ritualist fighting style: When I run spirit's strength builds I look like a tard. I throw spears like a idiot, and attack with daggers just as dumb. I mean who throws a spear like that. When I run my spear set, and I throw the spear I just look plain dumb.
Buff Communing: Something needs to be said about probably the worst attribute line of any class. Communing is supposed to be the "spirit" attribute according to the main info on the wiki about rits. Channeling has sos, bloodsong, and if you run vampirism you are set. Buff communing to do what it was suppose to do.
Half the spirits last half as long as the recharge and cost around 15 en. Not worth it.
Those are my two problems running a rit. Anyone else think that the rits throw spears wrong. Anet put the monk spear throwing for the rits, simple. Buff communing to do what it was suppose to. Lower the recharge, Lower the en to cast, and buff them in general, I am forced to run sos every group cus thats the only build they are known for. Change it up anet, please I am begging you.
But if you nerf SoS, you will have extinct most of the rits so dont do that...... or else.....

Huge troll, but I'll respond anyway.
I love the way Rits use every weapon. Their animation is very unique and actually comes across really well. Why would you change that. Also, I bolded your problem. Also lol @ complaining at spirit rits. I'd buff Spawning Power over communing tbh, it's still not really that flash.

Not complaining that spirits rits are bad, but get very boring. I like to run many different builds, and monks, necros, eles can do that but rits are restricted. I love rits though

Rits have far more freedom than those classes.

Like eragon said, rits were just buffed.
Granted communing needs a little rework, as do plenty of skills in GW. (Lamentation anyone?)

Anyone who thinks communing is a bad line needs their head examined. Communing has: Pain, Shadowsong, Shelter, Displacement, and Union. If this weren't enough (lol what more support could you ask for!? Party wide prots and blinding every 2 seconds isn't enough??) it also has restoration... a party wide rez for 10 energy, not to mention plenty of other useful utility spirits! Rits are currently one of the most powerful classes in PvE atm, and are capable or playing the roll of several party members at once with little to no management. Asking for buffs to rits at this point is like asking for ecto to start dropping in Pre-searing.

What the OP really meant to put was Buff Dervishes, and tbh Rits just got such a good buff that literally you can play a /Rt and kick ass with anything now.

Shelter displacement and union are bad most of the time, they live thru about 10 hits, a few more if under armor of unfeeling, and usually just let minions live longer.
Shadowsong is crap because in both PvE and PvP it's hard to control what they hit.
Pain and anguish are good (In PvE)
Restoration is bad because if you need a AoE res we shall return is better, and don't even tell me it's good in Pvp.
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Communing
Brutal weapon is only used in gimmicks
Disenchantment is garbage, dissonance is garbage
Dulled weapon sucks, signet of ghostly might is outclassed, wanderlust sucks.
Only thing that is mildly useful is weapon of quickening, vital weapon at times and sundering weapon.

Please stop playing Rit.
If your having problems spirit spamming, you need to play a different class.
and complaining about how they throw spears? gimme a break ........go play paragon and use rit as secondary.
Problem solved.

Ritualists have versatility that is only rivaled by Necros
Ritualists can spirit spam, they can be MMs and Minion bombers, They can heal and prot, They can do ranged DPS with SS spear throwers, they can melee DPS (if you want lol) with a SS scythe, they can play assist with Weapon Spells and other type builds...
frankly they don't even do a 'decent' job at them, they do a pretty damn good job at it. Hell, they can arguably heal better then monks, Minion bomb better then necros, Prot better then Monks (defensive spirits), and they get pretty decent DPS with SS builds.
Frankly, if you're getting bored with Ritualists, you should play a different game because Ritualists can cover a hell of a lot of ground
The Communing line have the three spirits that give ritualists their amazing prot ability, but other then that and a few skills (Pain, Anguish, and Armor of Unfeeling), so I wouldn't say the line is worthless.

Yes, communing's non-spirit skills mostly sucks. The spirits are fine as they are though. Learn to play.

Don't play anything but SoS then? Animations are unique to every profession for every weapon..Rit's are meant to be blind if im not mistaken, perhaps this is why it looks "strange"..And Rit animations are very well done and quite good to look at with certain weapons than most other classes..It's just a nice change of pace and a good addition.

I'm sure if you wore a blinding facemask you would throw them the same way..It looks nice, stop complaining pleaseandthankyou.

Ohhh..That way it can be more like other MMO's in which all classes have the same animation and have no variety? Good one.
Rit's fine..They just got buffed as others ave said as well..No need to complain over silly issues only you seem to have a problem about.

"Ritualists fighting style" is personal opinion. Anet has yet to make a change to the game because anyone (single or thousands) thought it was ugly. Some people like it, some don't. Learn to live with it.
Communing is far from bad. As noted, it has some very nice spirits, as well as some nice spells. Pure Communing builds are typically average at best, but a hybrid build running Communing+Channeling or Communing+Restoration are quite powerful. Individual skills may need a fwe tweaks, but the attribute isn't in need of a buff or even an overhaul. If an attribute was in need of that, it would be Spawning Power or Tactics.
