and when you use sever artery as a Rit/W your toon does a little backbend+spin and pokes your target in the stomach like a little prod lmao.
Still very fun, and probably the most versatile class since the ranger.

Just because of that, I'd really like to try a Rt/W, but I haven't gotten around to trying to come up with a build.

Hammer is just funny with Rit lol. The swing they take is insane. They look like they will fall after each hit. One thing is certain, Male rit has a new animation while they cast a spirit with hammer or item in hand ( not tested with female)

Haha... just make a PvP character and go nuts on Isle of the Nameless

I gotta admit, once I saw the attack animation of a Rit, I said to myself...I ain't deleting this guy

Well...

The female dance is better the elementalist, and the male dance is Napolean Dynamite - and how can you beat that?

The class is a lot of fun, and I hope it survives into future chapters - but it is so versatile that I have no idea what to use a secondary class. Every choice I come up with has a counter argument that I can just put in the right ritualist skills and do it nearly as well if not better...

But, that's a good thing. The class is visually stunning, and fills a very valid fantasy concept. Plus, it is interesting just because the challenge in playing one is different than usual. In past I often played by running in and out with my elementalists, mesmers, and monks - but now I have to play by trying to manage standing my ground and / or pulling the hostiles in closer to my spirits. And managing all of the new factors in that just makes the class a new and interesting intellectual challenge.

I rate the Rit as the best dmg dealer in the game, over Wars and Eles.

Against low to medium armor foes a 16 attribute Channeler (with Attuned Was for energy management) can do higher dps than an Ele.

Against high armor foes, a Rit Lord with 4-5 offensive spirits and painful bond can do way, way, way more dmg than any other class.

Just changing something here:

PvE Assassins who think they're tank.

I already see 3-4 good PvE assassins at the moment.

i disagree that rits are not as good as monks. I think two rits working together are as strong as any two monks. at least in pve. i have a resto rit build that goes well with Prof Gia and he is the only support hench i bring.
in all of the maps and most of the missions up to unwaking waters i have been able to run with just henchmen and gia.

the biggest thing in a rits favor is that most of their spells are all allies and not all players. i dont gvg because i dont have a guild but in places like aspenwood i can see the impact of a rit on npcs. i bet its the same in gvg. a rit lord during victory or death would BE death to the other team. its boosting everything up and not just its players or an NPC it gets lucky and saves.

monks have had a year of building and skill balances to round themselves out. people know and are comfortable with them. the rit is new and different.

ps. i agree with francis demeules. i've seen smart assassins go in spike and get out and i've seen them try to fight their way through while their skills reset and mana regens. the ones who tele out do more damage and take less of my mana. the other guys are a drain on my mana.

off the top of my head (cba to look it all up)

5 Spirits doing @16 Communing 21 damage a hit

I belive they attack once ever two seconds, so thats 52.5 DPS (2925 Damage/Min)

However with painful bonds, this becomes 21+18 (16 Communing, 12 Channeling assumed) so 39 Damage a hit

39*5=195, 195/2= 97.5 DPS, Also blinding, stealing HP, removing enchants, intturupting ect. its all done in small packets, making protective spirit and RoF a joke. thats 5850 Damage/Min

of course this all assumes 5 spirits all attacking one target, even if they dont, its still over 50 DPS spread out, and once again, blinding, removing enchants ect

Guild Wars doesn't use MANA, you must be mixed up with another game.

Damn u Tainek for making me do math.

Pain, Bloodsong, and Shadowsong do 21 dmg each at 16 Channel. The other spirits (Disenchantment and Dissonance) do 15. The attack speed of spirits is the same as a staff/wand, which is once every 1.75 secs.

So we'd have 39 * 3 = 117. And 15 + 18 = 33, and 33 * 2 = 66. Then (117 + 66)/1.75 = 104.5 DPS

That works out to 6274 dmg/min under ideal circumstances

However, since you won't have painful bond on all targets that your spirits are attacking and your spirits don't attack right away when they spawn, it might be more like 70 DPS, which is still very good.
