communing is fine. what needs a haul up is the channeling magic spells. (yes i herdz that they were nerfed cause of pvp). high energy, high recharge, long cast time and mediocre damage is only fun for pawning level 12 tengu.

I don't think you understand what is being said between you and Iron. OP said he hated Rit animations, so you told him to play a P/Rt. But he uses Spirit's Strength, which is in Spawning Power, so he couldn't use a Spirit's Strength para.

Crippie its Tom · Nov 03, 2009, 01:09 PM // 13:09

personally I like the attack animations. how would you have them attack, they're blind!

Captain Bulldozer · Nov 03, 2009, 02:15 PM // 14:15

Spirit's Strength is pretty much trash... sure, it looks appealing, and might even have some halfway functional uses (such as with volley or triple shot) but generally you can do a lot more damage while not using it, and at the same time offer a good amount of support through the communing or resto lines.

Now, if a rit looks funny chucking a spear around... well I can't say I'm surprised. The rit and paragon classes are not particularly suited to each other.

There are much bigger problems in the game than this. Heck, most of these aren't even really problems. Ritualists do something useful, and they are the best at doing at something. In other words, they're fine.

There are no problems with the GAME, it's the community of players that stomp all over the game demanding that things change to fit their needs. Sorta like how i want pve splinter weapon back?

Axel Zinfandel · Nov 03, 2009, 10:46 PM // 22:46

Spirit's Strength is only typically good for spear para's abusing the fact that Asuran scan calculates +damage bonuses too, and damage stacking is good.

But as for the animations, yeah... typically they aren't 'blind', but they wear the headgear to block their sight to better connect with the spirit world, I do believe.

That's why I never understood why Kormir just didn't become a Ritualist :P I mean she's halfway there already.

Zahr Dalsk · Nov 03, 2009, 11:53 PM // 23:53

Basically OP does not like Ritualist but still wants to play one. So he wants it redone for his benefit (and the detriment of Ritualist fans).

Drelias Melaku · Nov 04, 2009, 09:33 PM // 21:33

Are you seriously here bitching about their animations? ANIMATIONS, of all things? I like their animations, personally. It's been said before, but their animations are unique. <3 Very cool.

If you don't like playing Channeling, find another build. Make one yourself, be creative, dip into other classes.. And stop caring so much about the animations.

Yep, which is why Anet never added Vocal Was Sogolon to the skill set for Ritualists.

The only place I've found VwS EVER useful is in JQ for the runner shouts.

The only other potential application would be TNtF upkeep, but as I recall ArenaNet nerfed it specifically because Ritualists had the ill manners to use the intended synergy between the two skills.

You want a stupid combat animation? Play paragon with a meele wep. I like my rit flailing around like a drunk man.

You've obviously never played pvp before communing was trashed. Rit lords were broken in all forms of pvp. Communing should remain in the state that it's in until its completly reworked. Even a pve update still gives you strong damage mitigation. Look at arkfenway or w/e it's called now.

Because it's not like there were any rits before SoS was buffed...

You honestly think communing is good. High en and high recharge for what a crap spirit that does little. Nothing is good on that like cept weapon of quickening and pain. 2 skills cant carry a whole attribute line

Good or widely used skills:

Armor of Unfeeling
Displacement
Mighty Was Vorizun
Pain
Shelter
Sundering Weapon
Union
Vital Weapon
Signet of Ghostly Might
Weapon of Quickening

So-So or Niche skills:
Anguish
Brutal Weapon
Disenchantment (arguably a bad skill)
Dissonance (arguably a bad skill)
Earthbind
Shadowsong
Wanderlust

That is more than two.

Please quote me where I say that communing is good. Communing is BROKEN. The shelter+union combo usually gives a team ~10 sec of damage mitigation in Pve, which is useful when you are running heavy dps. Decreasing the recharge makes the build ridiculous. You could have 2 rits chaining the spirits and making the team pretty much invulnerable. In pvp, in order to do damage the other team you would have to constantly kill the spirits, which the rits could just pop right up again. A decreased recharge would push the stupid hex meta back since no one would be able to spike.

Communing was nerfed for a reason.

Now I have to put spears on Razah and Xandra, just to see what they look like.
Then daggers etc.
