I would think about a better item to carry just because you already have a heal spell on your bar that is a great one.

[skill]Protective Was Kaolai[/skill] Awesome item spell increased armor and a group heal

Or

[skill]Pure Was Li Ming[/skill] handy in the heavy condition areas

If this is for PvE, there's a tragic lack of splinter weapon (still good) ancestor's rage and death pact signet.

Swap out Caretaker's Charge. Either bring some E-management like Offering Of Spirit, or bring Glaive, or Kuurong.

looking at your build I see missing some really powerful spells

Splinter Weapon and Ancestor's Rage, the only actualy damage spell I see is Channeling Strike.

Caretaker's Charge sucks. If the energy regain was more, then it would be great, but right now.....no.

Offering of Spirit or Weapon of Remedy ftw.

Channeled Strike works when you're lvl 20 and in Lion's Arch, but Ancestor's Rage would work better.

I also wouldn't take two spirits unless i am spirit spamming.

Protective was Kaolai is one of the best item spells imo.

Oh, and a rez wouldn't hurt.

thx for the comments

i rather be efficient by damage. i don't wanna be supporter and use Ancestor's Rage and Splinter Weapon, cause it'll be useless to use these on me.
you can't say caretaker's charge isn't good. it deals well damage and give me energy.. and some health and recharge fast.

you think i should use only blood song?
i agree PwK is good, yeah.

think it's good in AB or in any other PVP?

Caretaker's is crap.
The damage is bad, the heal is pathetic and it doesn't give you energy, it's merely 'free'.

And... basically... stop thinking like a bad player.
YOU WILL do a hell of a lot more damage overall placing Splinter and Rage on the melee than you ever will with Channeled Strike.

You picked the wrong class then. Monks don't whine that their heals are worthless because they're mostly useless in a solo fight.

Caretaker's is horrible. Really. It used to give more energy back, but they decided giving a piddly amount of health back made it better, and unintentionally nerfed it into crap. Spamming flare with aura of restoration and fire attunement also gives back energy, it's still bad.

----further proves my point, all elite "offensive" channeling spells suck.

seriosly though: Protective was Khaoli, Splinter Weapon, Ancesotr's Rage, Bloodsong, Channeled Strike, maybe a mend and body and Soul or Spirit Light, and offering of spirit (signet of spirits if you dont have NF, like me) is good enough

Untrue. In fact, tons of Chanelling Elites are great. Weapon Of Fury is a good complement to melee builds and EW ran Destructive Was Glaive yesterday in gvg.

Two of the three you mentioned are not 'offensive' in the slightest. One is energy management, the other is support.

...That's why I suggested Offering of Spirit and Signet of Spirit as farley good elite options...

Weapon of Fury...hmm.. that seems to be one of those elite skills in a class always overlooked, I'll try it.

silentmen, your bar is quite competent for the majority of the game, and I daresay that most of the people here saying this or that sucks and is crap, have had a bar similar to yours at some point in time.

However, once you move into the harder parts of the game, your build just isn't as efficient. Rits just aren't as good as Eles at direct spell damage.

The strength of Rits, as demonstrated by that nice bar terminus has given, is that Rits is one of the few professions that can do two things well on the same bar. Good damage support and good healing support. Bars like that and suitable party setup can make many parts of the game go on cruise control.

well.. what do you say about Weapon of Remedy and Soothing Memories instead of Vengeful Weapon and Mend Body and Soul?

the recharge time of Offering a Soul quite long, don't you think?
and what about Spirit Light Weapon?

and tell me please if it's good build AB.

Do not overlook the use of ancestors rage on yourself. If has saved me many times. Especially when you get trapped by multiple melee which can happen now and then. You can take them all down (PVE) with a couple combos like Sprit Rift then Rage.

OoS only has a 15s recharge...and it gives you, effectively, an extra 3 pips of energy regen if used on recharge (but not if it would be wasting energy).

I personally like MB&S, it's one of the better skills Rits have available, even with just one spirit down. I'm not a huge fan of Soothing Memories since it has a fairly long cast, long recharge, and requires you to be holding an item to justify its use. (I tend to avoid item spells these days...)

Weapon of Renewal is okay, but energy management can be kind of sad. Look into [skill]Wielder's Remedy[/skill] and [skill]Renewing Memories[/skill] for synergies with a WoR build. In this case, it may be worthwhile to take Soothing Memories since it basically becomes free to use.

When running spirit light weapon, if you don't want to run a spirit, look into Mending Grip. It kinda sucks compared to Mend Body and Soul, but I suppose it could have use.

Destructive Was Glaive is PBAoE damage. How is that not offensive. Furthermore, it has Destructive in its name, doesn't that tell you enough?

And Weapon Of Fury is used for offensive purposes. Thus it is offensive.
