Whether or not this new or old I was bored and entertained myself by trying to come up with an all rit team build. Feedback and constructive criticism is always nice. This hasn't been tested at all. Pretty much just a concept.

disclaimer: Anywhere that I put boon of creation, if you wish to spread points a bit and add to channeling for spirit siphon it may be better. as stated, this isn't tested.

Detructive Rit x2 (rt/any):

Attributes:
channeling - 12 + 1 + Rune of choice
rest dependent on optionals/secondary taken

Skills:
Destructive was glaive [E]
Ancestor's Rage
Renewing Surge
Spirit Siphon
4 optional

Equipment:
Insignias: Herald's/Survivor
Runes: Major/Sup Vigor, vitae, Channeling rune of choice (I prefer superior)

Weapons:
Not a huge deal as you will be holding ashes of glaive. 40/40 channeling set, 20/40/+30 channeling staff, defensive +60 hp weapon + shield set, if you want them.

Usage:
Cast DwG, use AR on spirits with mobs near them, spam renewing surge, siphon spirit as needed. When DwG is recharged carefully get close enough without aggroing to recast (forcing the drop and dealing its aoe dmg), retreat to safety. Repeat as needed.

Channeling Spirit Rit (rt/any):

Attributes:
Channeling - 12 + 1 + 3
Spawning - 11 + 1
Communing - 6

Signet of Spirits [E]

Summon Spirits
Armor of Unfeeling
optional

Equipment:
Insignias: Shaman's/Survivor
Runes: Major/Sup Vigor, Superior Channeling, Minor Spawning, Vitae

Weapons:

optional

Equipment:

Weapons:
40/40 communing set or choice of communing staff.

Usage:

Weapons:
40/40 communing set or choice of communing staff.

Usage:

Equipment:
Insignia's: Survivor/Radiant
Runes: Major/Sup Vigor. min/maj/sup restoration, vitae/attunement. minor spawning.

Weapons:
40/40 resto set or resto staff of choice, Will be holding ashes of kaolai for the most part anyway.

Usage:
Heal. Remove conditions, with spirit's gift + a summon or mend body and soul. Use rit lord so rejuv and life recharge faster. PwK for a bit of partywide healing. Should really only have to watch the Destro Rits. As everyone else should always be behind spirit walls.

Resto Rit 2 (rt/):

Spawning - 9 + 1

Skills:
Xinrae's Weapon [E]

optional

Equipment:
Insignia's: Survivor/Radiant
Runes: Major/Sup Vigor. min/maj/sup restoration, vitae/attunement. minor spawning.

Weapons:
40/40 resto set or resto staff of choice, Will be holding ashes of kaolai for the most part anyway.

Usage:
Very Similar to resto rit 1, except you also have some spike prevention with Xinrae's. Weapon of warding with recuperation will help against degen.

Overall it does lack hex removal. However quite a bit of room for adding it on several of the builds.

Looks nice, all you basically did was put all the spirits onto the builds. Can't imagine seeing that many spirits.

Only problem is finding 8 rits to get together to actually do this that can go faster than Discordway or something else

Yes, because FASTER is the only reason. People could, oh, I don't know, want to do it for fun. Jeez.

Thanks for this, we're going to give it a whirl soon.

Marzipan Marci · Nov 14, 2009, 02:31 AM // 02:31

It looks fun!

Shadowed Ritualist · Nov 14, 2009, 02:41 AM // 02:41

I could help test it, I have almost every rit skill in the game on my pve rit.It'd be nice to see how it'll work with things like mend body and soul.

I've found spirit spamming surprisingly boring. I've tried solo rit in chamber and wastes. Looked like fun, worked great also, but by the time cleared half wastes of smites i just typed /resign.

It has 2 non-spirit builds in there too

(3 if you don't count resto rit #2), Some people enjoy spirit spam others don't.

To Jensy and Marci, fun is what I aim for when I do stuff. Hope you enjoy it and have good results.

You don't have to focus only on spirits for damage. You could run some spirit's strength ritualists (2 scythes with greater dwarf weapon for example). Also don't waste rit lord for your elite on your healer. You can always run a secondary elite. Cautery signet could be used if you don't want a restoration elite.

Can even throw in a spirit's strength spear chucker for ranged damage. By using greater dwarf armor the al won't be an issue and you have a cheap cover enchant.

Generally there isn't much enchant removal and spirit's strength can run some pretty high damage. If your adding in greater dwarf weapon then you will also up your damage a fair amount and take less from the knockdowns. Could run a rit/mo with strength of honor if your gonna run with multiple melees.

I would probably take out offensive communion rit 2 and maybe if you want you could change out the destructive rits all for spirit's strength ritualists.

Could probably go with like 2 scythes and 1 spear (could bring the adrenaline deep wound to spam around). Or you could go with all 3 melee or all 3 ranged.

I just find every spirit up kind of a waste, since they most likely won't focus targeting and you'll take quite a bit of damage. Atleast if you run even just say 2 scythe spirit's strength rits you can have some form of "tank" while still being able to focus a lot of damage. Even without added support like strength of honor it still pumps out some good damage.

Most likely tossing a few beast mastery points (as long as your not against using secondaries at all) and bringing eoe for most places since your running summon spirits could help as well.

i would replace one elite with Weapon of Quickening for faster recharges.

This could work

Keep Silvermoon's Rit 1&2

Delete everything else

Add a water ele, Warrior, Derv, Sin, 2 monks and watch stuff blow up in 2 min.

... or you could just keep the original build (with a few modifications due to changes made in the february update) and watch stuff blow up in 2 min.

Essence Snow · Jul 27, 2010, 10:42 PM // 22:42

I actually had some guildies come with me after the Rit buffs and try this. I think it was when Nick was in NF collecting Giant jawbones maybe? If I recall correctly we haad the following:

1) SoS/Channeling
2) Sogm/Communing
3) ST/Communing
4) Rit Hexor/Channeling
5) Resto Rit
6) DwG
7) Wanderlust/Communing
8) Weap/Resto Rit

Isn't Soul Twisting better than Reclaim Essence for a protective ritualist?

This is an old team build from before the february update. Im not sure why axe decided to ressurect the thread but yea... Soul Twisting is now better than Reclaim Essence for a prot rit.

Swahnee · Jul 28, 2010, 08:32 PM // 20:32

My bad. Didn't check the date, sorry.

Ademmeda · Aug 20, 2010, 07:39 AM // 07:39

If any tests will be done please call me.

IGN: Titan Rit

Fawxy Lawxy · Sep 01, 2010, 10:33 PM // 22:33

Run 8 DwG rits and just run around dropping ashes and lol'ing at how OP this skill is and how its ruined the armbrace economy.

Sethellington · Sep 02, 2010, 08:03 PM // 20:03

I'd prob run:

SoS
SoGM
ST
5x DWG

Depending what you're doing you might want some heals on the DWG's... Else with cons and a few heals on the first 3 chars, maybe some Protective was Kaolai on them you should be ok. 5x DWG can take out most things in a hurry...
