Build name (( Angel of death ))

Ive ben experimenting whit ritualists for a long time, even tough i didnt like them att first but now ive created a Killer that could Take down any character * Depends on Your situation *

First Make sure you're attributes are set att

Communing ( 10 ) - 13 ( 2+ Rune )
channeling ( 12 ) - 20 ( Enough runes for 16 )
Spawning ( 8 ) - 9 ( doesn't need any )
The remaining Points arent needed
--------------------------------------

Now to the Skills

Channeling strike ( As your first attack unless you Release spirits first )
Essence strike ( This will Basicly give you 8+ Energy if Spirit nearby )
Spirit boon strike ( this can deal A good amount of dmg and heal ur spirits )
Spirit Rift ( You may Find this handy If Your facing a Army )

And now the other skills

Pain ( This may look weak but Get your Painfull bond For ownage )
Blood song ( For the same reason use painfull bond on your victim )
Painfull bond ( This will deal Great damage whit your spirits )

(E) skills

Spirit Channeling ( This is a backup skill if your running low on Energy )
---------------------
Strategy

Deploy Your Spirits and Wait for a enemy to aproach, after that cast *Painfull bond* bond on Him/her. Now when he's Droping Use all your Strikes On him wich will Increase he's Chance of dying

*Note* if You wont kill him Your Team mates Will come to good use.

Warriors and Rangers have Better resistance against Your Channeling spells.

*Note* A monk is often needed if you're gona use spirit channeling since it gives 4+ energy Boost and 5- Hp degen.

Be Ware of Mesmers, since they can Interrupt your Spell attempts.

Strategy part 2.

You dont need to Spawn spirits all the time.. Your'e Channeling spells are effective aswell.
-----------------

If your spirits Expires You can Run away and use channeling,

( channeling Weakness calculator )

Monk = Very effective
Assasin = Very effective
Mesmer = Effective
Elementist = Effective
Ritualist = Less effective
Necromancer = Effective
Ranger = Uneffective
Warrior = Uneffective
---------------------

Dont be Angry couse you die Once.. whit this build.. It is quite powerfull when you Learn How to handle it.

Some PVP Hints:

Cast Channelings on enemy Monks so they will Be busy healing themselves instead of healing their parties.
----------------

This build works best when your in a good party..
I Recomend

a proper monk that heals you and a Tanker that will eleminate the Wounded Enemies when you Blast them.

( Build created by Ymir hellbringer ) I hope you all will enjoy it

Hmm I see few issues.

First of all I think u should decide if u want to be offensive spirit spammer or channeling nuker. Having both is too heavy on att pts and requires you to use superior+major runes. -105 hp is really bad thing in pvp.

If you insist on using both spirits and chaneling, then you should add Gaze from Beyond - it was fixed but it's still effective. As it is - you don't have any high damaging spells other than easy avoidable Spirit rift. Any elementalist would be better at nuking and only 2 spirits doesn't pose any threat to enemies.

Last but not least - Spirit channeling isn't that much effective at 9 SP.

What shud i switch whit Gaze from beyond? and about those spirits not being a threat? if they attack the right person.. Then the victim will have a problem.

But then again if they attack somebody else that makes them Stupid...
And channeling spells Do High dmg .. But ill try your idea later. You might wanna test this one ?

atleast it can nearly wipe out 1 Target att time

I do a similar build, but with a few different skills. It work a little better if you lower channeling and bump up communing and spawning.

But that wont make a huge difference, it will only change the rules...

*Stronger spirits* *weaker channelings*
*stronger channelings* *weakes spirits* Their both good

but now when i think about it.. Rapid firing spirits might be more handy

Yes, you are correct that the damage does balance out.

I prefer my spirits to be a higher level with higher hp to make it difficult for them to be killed off. Since those 2 spirits have a 45sec and 60sec recharge, you cant really afford to have one die quickly unless your using Ritual Lord to recharge faster, but imo Ritual Lord doesnt work well in this type of build.

Why do u include Channeled Strike if u are not holding anything? I think should try to bring Anguished Was Lingwah to gain the bonus AND summon an offensive spirit.

I prefer to just take the regular spirit of Pain. No need for channeled strike. Plus Anguished Was Lingwah cost more energy, has a longer cast time, and a longer recharge time. To bad it doesn't create a different offensive spirit instead of pain. Then this would be useful to me.
