Thanks

Im sorry that this is sorta going to be a flame but at least TRY.

Come up with something, post it, and people are going to be a lot more willing to help. Seriously Ritualists are brand new and everyone is in the same boat trying to come up with a nice build. YOUR input would be valuable as well.

Splody Spawning

That's what I call it anyway. I imagine that's the majority of the Ri/N builds you are seeing.

Boon of Creation [Spawning]
Explosive Growth [Spawning]
Animate Bone Minions [Death] (or other minions)

That's the core of it.

Assuming Spawning 12:

Minions have +48% health.
Exploding Growth does 56 lightning damage to 5 foes near the created minion.
Boon of Creation gives you 7 energy and 41 health per minion created.

Animate Bone Minions creates 2 minions for 15 energy.

Each casting of Animate Bone Minions while under the effect of both Boon of Creation and Exploding Growth would give you 14 energy, 82 health, and do 112 lighting damage to multiple targets.

Upfront cost of Animate Bone Minions without other modifying skills would still be 15, so you'd need that much to activate the skill, but since you'd get 14 back you'd only be down 1 energy which you would immediately regenerate.

That is pretty much the core of it. I would also add Death Nova for good measure.
