I have!

Look at TeeGee's thread on the 2nd or 3rd page on this forum. Its most helpful. I tweaked mine from his but that is where I got the starting idea from and it works incredibly well. I've had people tell me, blah blah, this wont work but it does, and most people who think the opposite simply are the narrow minded people who believe the only person who can heal is a Monk

I've tried it, I finished factions with it which was simple providing you had a team that wasn't completely useless. PUGS ftw

I love my Rt/Mo. All my other characters at this point exist solely to get money or items for him. I've always been a back-liner (yeh, I'm a weenie when it comes to melee), and to have a class that can both nuke AND heal efficiently is a great thing. That being said, I'll just stick all my "builds" here. I have three main ones, and I'll give a short explanation after each one.
--------

Channeling Nuker

12 Communing
12 Channeling
3 Spawning

Destruction
Gaze From Beyond
Spirit Boon Strike
Essence Strike
Spirit Burn
Pain
(optional; I prefer Signet of Spirits)
Flesh of My Flesh

This is what I use for cruising around with Henchmen, I've only used it a couple times with other players. As damage dealers are common, I'm usually healing in groups. Anyways, it's fairly straightforward. Cast Destruction (or Pain if Destruction gets destroyed), then just go straight down the line, GFB, SBS, ES, SB. Essence Strike helps with energy management, as does Signet of Spirits. It's a very efficient nuking setup, from my experience, and because there's an optional slot, you can easily stick Signet of Capture in there to go Elite hunting. Plus, healing henchmen teams is boring, so nuking's a great change of pace.

----------------------------------

Ritual Lord Protector

12 Communing
12 Spawning
3 Restoration

Boon of Creation
Ritual Lord (e)
Shelter
Union
Displacement
Signet of Creation
Feast of Souls
Flesh of My Flesh

This is for grouping with teams that already have a Monk (two, preferably) and are looking for some serious protection. Cast BoC to help with energy management, and try to keep it up at all times. The cooldown is short enough that you can permanently have it on. Keep Ritual Lord up while you spam Shelter, Union, and Displacement. As soon as those three have been cast, stick a Signet of Creation on them. Chances are, the spirits will be dead within 30 seconds anyway, so you're basically giving them a free +6ish health regeneration. If the fight is still going when you can recast the spirits, hit Feast of Souls to clear the old spirits and give the group a big heal. It's easy, it's boring, and a lot of groups will love you for it.

Tip 1: Ritual Lord can be cast while you're casting spirits...so you can wait until you're halfway through casting to hit Ritual Lord, and you'll get the same benefits. Over time, you'll learn when to start casting to time the cooldown of Ritual Lord with the cast...but you have time to play it safe, the cooldowns are short enough anyway.

Tip 2: Math-crazy people have (thankfully) determined that the order matters when you cast your rituals. If Shelter is cast before Union, less damage is taken than the other way around. So cast Shelter before Union. Displacement doesn't really matter, it dies so fast anyway.

----------------------------------

Restoration Healing

12 Restoration
12 Spawning

Boon of Creation
Life
Preservation (e)
Recuperation
Mend Body and Soul
Vengeful Weapon
Spirit to Flesh
Flesh of My Flesh

It's a little tricky at first, but when the group needs a healer, you can be well up to the task with this build. Cast Boon of Creation to help with energy management, then your three spirits a.s.a.p. Once those three are all up and running, use Vengeful Weapon and Mend Body and Soul to keep those bars up. If there's a spirit up when the cooldown is as well, use Spirit to Flesh to give the back line a big heal. This build takes some getting used to, as the cooldowns are unexpectedly long (especially with no Ritual Lord). You need to pay attention to what's going on, and not simply spam spam spam. You can get by on many fights with only Preservation and the heals, so judge the fights accordingly.

------------------------------

For all builds, use runes and armors to compliment the skills. An easy thing to do is just buy the 1.5k armors from Kaineng Center, then apply runes accordingly. That way, no matter what build you choose to use, you'll have the runes and equipment necessary.

I'm always experimenting on new builds, though. I want to type out my AoE nuker plans, but that one's not quite finished yet.

Always researchin', though, I love this class and want to see just how diverse it can be! Have fun!
