Rit build for a newbie?

Honestly, the build topic is beyond me at the moment. >< Could someone suggest which skills I should be using early on, and what attributes, if I aim to be a resto Rit?

If you're still on Shing Jea then I'd say go with communing until you're off of the island: the spirits will make your life easier.

If you're further in the game then I would suggest playing around with some of the following skills (this is just off the top of my head):

Spirit Light
Mend Body and Soul
Flesh of my Flesh
Generous Was Tsungrai
Resilient Was Xiko
Soothing Memories
Weapon of Warding
Vengeful Weapon
Recuperation
Life

Just goof around with henchmen and find out what works well for you.

As far as attributes go, you'll eventually want to max restoration out at 16 by buying +1 restoration headgear and applying a superior rune (+3) to it.

Any remaining attribute points can be placed in spawning (if you use spirits) or any other attribute that you have.

Your secondary profession doesn't really matter that much; you'll probably find yourself running a full ritualist skill build. Every secondary has a few useful skills though.

The bottom line is just play around in low level areas until you find skills that you feel compliment your playing style.

Remember, www.guildwiki.org is your best friend.

Forgive me for the shameless plugging, but this build has always been my favorite... http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Build:R...osive_Creation

Closer to home: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s....php?t=3039479

And the closer: Poke me on GW anytime if you need help with the build.

A good universal idea for a secondary, where you really wont need to rely on one for skills, is elementalist. With that you can use glyph of of lesser energy which lowers your next few spells by 15 energy so it can definatly help with spamming spells.

~Polynikes congratulations! this was pretty much the most USELESS post ever!

reasoning;

- HE DIDNT EVEN ASK FOR A SECONDARY!
- HE WAS ASKING FOR A HEALING BUILD! (RESTORATION ACTUALLY)
- 2/3 OF THESE SKILLS ARE UTTER SHIT!

insert another coin and try again later!

A nice beginners Restoration build would look something like this:

Restoration: 12
Spawning: 12
Communion: 3

Life
Recouperation
Mend Body And Soul
Weapon of Warding
Wielder's Boon
Resilent Weapon
Generous Was Tsungrai
Flesh Of My Flesh

No elites, good heals. Beginners build.

Hope this helps.
