I'd swap life for Kaolai
And Spirit light for Wielders boon

Or go a different way:
Res: 11+1+1
Chan: 10+1
Spawning: 10+1
[skill]Weapon of Remedy[/skill]heal condition removal/damage support
[skill]Vengeful Weapon[/skill]heal/damage support
[skill]Weapon of Warding[/skill]regen/protect
[skill]Splinter Weapon[/skill]damage
[skill]Ancestors' Rage[/skill]damage
[skill]Protective Was Kaolai[/skill]heal/armor
[skill]Renewing Memories[/skill] with spawning:11 Warding cost 7 eng with 10 it will cost 8
[skill]Death Pact Signet[/skill]or flesh of flesh ^^ I like this i need to give this a try.

Ok...because this is on the same topic. Do you guys feel item spells such as this are worth it? I find myself missing my added energy/% chance...how many of you all actually run item spells such as [skill]Protective was Kaolai[/skill] I used to think that I have to carry my item spells around all the time.

Turns out, I wasted a good amount of money on Herald's Insignias.

IMO, Item spells should be casted when you need it.

Kaolai, for example, can be used if you see a warrior attacking you, or as a party heal when necessary.

However, holding item spells can be a good way of hiding energy. It's like a 5th weapon slot....kinda.

Protective was Kaolai is the only item spell I use. Glaive will be fun when I cap it, but it's subpar to Kaolai. It's the most flexible item spell.

take out Ascestors Rage and Splinter, from looking at this build it mostly healing, so no point having dmg dealer skill when you are goanna heal. Having 3 Weapons is bad idea the new weapon replaces the old one. Most ritualist builds you see will have offense and defense. Hybrid builds, it's what ritualists are good for. Having 3 weapon spells is fine, you just need to know how to use them properly.

When I use an item, I use a wand and a shield,
This way I have no energy in my weapon set.
So recasting does not give me a EN-gap. What exactly is wrong with getting an extra 15-20 energy when you drop your item?
Kaolai is a nice item spell to lug around- if your timing is right, you can drop a 150+ partywide heal in a couple seconds.

Then I lose 15EN. So after casting the item spell my energy is -15 and I have to wait for it to recharge, I hate that.
For 11 second I'm without EN, so probably will drop the item to get some energy back, while there would have been better opportunities to drop it.

EDIT: erm... I'm slow

I know many of you will say that ancestor's rage and splinter weapon should be in there, but im damn tired of seeing and using that build =P I prefer a all resto build to, but everybody on this forum is so pro hybrid....

Because midline characters > all frontline active interupt and offense>all

HIJACKED BIAAA!


in all seriousness, you already have condition removal, so drop out MBaS, and put in PWK. I personally rather just go without WoR, but thats me.

For 11 second I'm without EN, so probably will drop the item to get some energy back, while there would have been better opportunities to drop it. I understand, but the obvious answer is to just not cast item spells at a certain level of energy. Without a weapon set granting the 15 energy you wouldn't even have the opportunity to cast at this point. EN-gap is a method of balance, not punishment; in order to get the aforementioned 11 seconds of 0 energy, you need to have expended exactly that much more energy than you otherwise would have without energy-granting weapons.
If you keep an eye on your bars you can be granted an extra 3 heals than otherwise whenever you drop your item, which can be absolutely invaluable.

iwould drop weapon of warding as its 10 energy and u have a elite weapon spell to use for ursef anyhow QFT. Warding is good, but you have 2 better wep spells in there anyway.

How many weapon spells do you all feel is too many? 3? 4?

I was thinking of switching out weapon of warding for warmonger's weapon for the interrupts. There is no number. You use as many as you feel you need. For all the fail who will argue differently...

You've put Splinter on a warrior for example. He gets a non-critical condition on him that the monk doesn't give a shit about (e.g. bleeding). You time his strikes, it ends. You use WoR if he's still under fire, it ends. You put whatever else you think is useful. WoW for example if he's under heavy fire (real warriors that kill stuff, aren't invincible), or even Splinter again. Then you repeat this process to use Weapon Spells effectively.

The singular weapon spell clause is a balancing limitation to separate good players from bad...
