I heard the best rit elites were in Nightfall... so far, I have like 3: Channeling Spirit (?), Defiant Was Xinrae, and Quickening Weapon.

Should I start training my rit in nightfall? :P

zelgadissan · Nov 10, 2008, 04:48 AM // 04:48

There's really only four elites (IMO) worth running on a Ritualist.

Xinrae's Weapon - Nightfall
Offering of Spirit - Nightfall
Caretaker's Charge - Nightfall
Assassin's Promise - Factions

So yeah, probably.

VV lol, I've been owned.

Nightow · Nov 10, 2008, 04:52 AM // 04:52

Expel Hexes and Empathic Removal aren't ritualist elites anymore?

Agree'd with him,though imo tomes are easier then beating nf for afew elites.

[[Spirit's Strength]
[[Wielder's Zeal]
[[Weapon of Quickening]
[[Animate Flesh Golem]
[[Attuned Was Songkai]
[[Weapon of Fury]

The only 2 there worth using (imo) is Spirits strenght and AWS. The rest are wastes...

There is one elite that every rit should have, and that is Offering of Spirit. I have Elonian skill hunter on my rit, so i have ALL elites... but the first rit ones i got was OoS, Spirit Strength, Weapon of Fury, Caretakers Charge and wepeaon of remedy. for Factions, i also have the skill hunter for that, but Attuned, Wanderlust (just for giggles), Grasping was Kuurong. VwK, which seems to have also elluded peoples list, signet of spirits, Preservation, Spirit light wep, and rit lord.

A lot of elites, but completly worth it. But for rits in general, they synergize well with other elites, so like mentioned by someone earlier, also cap Empathetic Removal and Expell Hexes. Flesh golem for explosive growth is a lot better for Heros (i run it on my hero, tried it for myself and it was annoying to maintain Deathnova and all the enchants.)

Hope that helps =P

depends if you're talking about pvp or pve...

there are some decent elites in factions, but limited to very specific builds and situations :

[wanderlust]
[weapon of quickening]
[preservation]
[vengeful was khanhei]
[ritual lord]

imo, the best rit elites are in nightfall, they can all be used somewhere (even [reclaim essence] or [signet of ghostly might] can be used as a minion bomber)

of course I'm not talking about [expel hexes] or [hidden caltrops], these are not rit elites, although secondary elites are used in pvp (not really in pve, now that splinter barrage is dead)

I would like to get all the Ritulist elites, but many of them are so useless. I have 17 of 25, so I guess I should get the rest, even if they are lame.
Does anyone use Clamor of Souls or Sprit's Strength? Ok, NVM Spirit's strength..I guess that one is popular.

kazi_saki · Nov 11, 2008, 05:56 AM // 05:56

lotsa ppl (me!) use Spirit's Strength and it goes great on /R with Volley, Trip Shot, Dual Shot, and vital wep.

Clamor of Souls is a bad skill tbh. It sounded nice but when I tried it...meh.

They're not complete wastes. They all have their own uses in a good build.

Ritualists could try to be MM's also lol.

zelgadissan · Nov 11, 2008, 03:01 PM // 15:01

He's not arguing against Rits being MMs. He's arguing that Flesh Golem is a crap skill. And he's right.

ac1inferno · Nov 11, 2008, 03:03 PM // 15:03

Nothing else to bring on a MM. [[Jagged Bones] are better left for heros.

Nightow · Nov 11, 2008, 03:35 PM // 15:35

For a rit MM (Non-hero) use [Discord] maybe?

zelgadissan · Nov 11, 2008, 04:34 PM // 16:34

Personally I've always used [[Aura of the Lich] and then buried it below Explosive and Boon. Probably not the best, but it gets the job done well enough for me.

ac1inferno · Nov 11, 2008, 06:00 PM // 18:00

I guess you could, but Flesh Golem is a good enough tanker with the high health from Spawning Power so you wouldn't need something like [[Aura of the Lich]. And [[Discord] would be better for a Necro Primary. A Rt MM wouldn't be able to spam it since he does not have Soul Reaping for energy.

Tyla · Nov 11, 2008, 07:48 PM // 19:48

Jagged Bones works fine on a player, unless the mechanics have somehow changed. Last time I used it as a player it auto-targetted the minion with the least health. Either way, it's more useful than Flesh Golem. Aura of the Lich is alright, but too... tanky and selfish. And hey, it also accelerates your damage if you think about it.

Secksy · Nov 12, 2008, 01:35 AM // 01:35

No love for Destructive Was Glaive?

Bargamer · Nov 12, 2008, 05:11 AM // 05:11

My Bomber runs a copy of Jagged Bones for myself, and my Hero takes Fiends or Shambling Horrors, so he runs one too.

Flesh Golem was fine in Factions, but it was rapidly dropped in favor of better elites when NF came out. Then they got nerfed, but I still take Jagged Bones anyways. Your mileage may vary.
