swap mend body and soul imo. You got a condition removal in remedy

Tyla · Feb 09, 2008, 04:36 PM // 16:36

Remove HardRes?

EDIt; what pyro said!

Floski · Feb 09, 2008, 04:37 PM // 16:37

drop spirit light.

br0thergr1m · Feb 09, 2008, 04:39 PM // 16:39

You ever get stuck on a build...and you cant change it lol. Its like new shoes

but still wearing your old ones.

I see your point with Mend Body and Soul....I think I kept it in for the added heal I can do and it was another condition remover.... I'll play around with that. Thanks.

Spirit Light i think if I recall gives me a heal of 172...So...between the two healing spells im guessing you guys are suggesting. I appreciate the suggestions. What if I drop Life? Or should I take out a heal....

Ancestor's is one of the best skills in the game, how can you say no to a 5 energy 110 damage aoe spell that casts instantly?

Personally I would drop the res, if you drop mend body and soul you are losing the only true self heal you have, since spirit light won't work when there are no spirits.
If you are planning on people in your group dieing so much that you run out of res signets then its time to rethink your group build.

I always have a hard time picking between Spirit Light and Mend Body & Soul, but I'd suggest removing Mend Body & Soul because you already have a condition removal, and Spirit Light is a bigger heal. The only disadvantage is a 1 second longer recharge, which is irrelevant the majority of the time.

Keep in mind that Wielder's Boon is also a very nice heal.

True it is an AMAZING skill..

But if you are concentrating on dealing damage, what's the point in trying to heal...

horseradish · Feb 09, 2008, 07:13 PM // 19:13

He's not concentrating on doing damage. His build is supporting defense and offense, which just so happens to be the best thing a rit can do.

moko · Feb 09, 2008, 07:39 PM // 19:39

kick mend body IMO.

br0thergr1m · Feb 09, 2008, 08:44 PM // 20:44

Cool guys! Thanks for the suggestions. Yeah its a hybrid build

...support and offense. I didnt want to get rid of Ancestors

( I love that spell)....but it sounds like the the overall verdict is to kick mend. Again I appreciate it.

I forgot all about Wielder's Boon....I'll have to look at that.

That to me is like saying whats the point in bringing defensive buffs on a paragon w/ offensive skills...
Ancestors' is a truly powerful skill, and so is Splinter Weapon - they are practicaly the strongest rit skills in the game.
Passing them down is a big nono.

Marverick · Feb 09, 2008, 11:43 PM // 23:43

Drop Flesh of my Flesh IMO. For support / healing / protection characters, you don't want to bother with a rez, since if a party member goes down, you should be concentrated on keeping others from not going down rather than rezzing the one that died.

And Ancestors' is kind of impractical later on in the game. Mobs have too much armor, especially melee ones, which are the ones that will be near an ally most of the time. It usually ends up dealing like 30-50 damage. Splinter Weapon will put out much more damage.

That's one of the greatest strengths of the Ritualist, the ability to pack healing and damage in one skill bar and still kick ass.

Mr Pvper · Feb 10, 2008, 01:11 AM // 01:11

iwould drop weapon of warding as its 10 energy and u have a elite weapon spell to use for ursef anyhow

Mr Pink57 · Feb 10, 2008, 02:22 AM // 02:22

^^I would agree in PvE. Most of the time a character isnt trained that hard, I would rather have an enemy hit a WoR and loose 63 health. Plus when a character is being hit by a few enemies thats what a prot monk is for and a nice little AR spike.

Arkantos · Feb 10, 2008, 02:28 AM // 02:28

I'd drop flesh of my flesh. If you want the res, drop mend body and soul.

It's called a hybrid build.

GrimEye · Feb 10, 2008, 02:59 AM // 02:59

I'll drop Spirit Light and put Kaolai.

Since MBaS and WoR seems redundant, Ill drop WoR and replaced it with Offering of Spirit, to have some form of energy management in your bar. Though you have low-energy skills but fast recharge, healing and damaging at the same time do take a toll on your energy pool.

My take.
