Many Ritualist
builds center around the summoning of spirits to support the party
in battle. This build is designed as an alternative for those
ritualists who would like to play a more direct offensive role
within the party. It is called the Continual Channeler because
users of this build will be continually channeling lightning damage
to their enemies.
[edit] Attributes and Skills
- This build does not have any unused attribute points and its
elite slot is unfilled.
- Renewing Surge may be changed to include the elite skills Soul Twisting,
Caretaker's Charge and Spirit
Channeling. If you choose the latter, you may want to go with
the more Spawning Power-oriented variation listed below.
[edit] Variants
- Restoration Magic can be lowered to 6 + 1
and Spawning
Power raised to 11 + 1 to increase the longevity of your
spirit. However, this means that the self-heal will be less
effective.
- Generous Was Tsungrai can be replaced
by a more immediate healing spell like Mend Body and
Soul, which also doubles as condition removal, or Resilient
Weapon for extra armor while suffering from a hex or
condition.
- Spirit Rift
can be added to deal some (one-shot) AOE damage on clumped foes.
- Spirit
Siphon can be swapped in to steal energy from your spirit.
- Signet of Spirits can be swapped. Provided
there is no interruption or energy denial, this build can be kept
up indefinitely using the Signet of Spirits.
[edit] Equipment
- Channeler's Headwrap with rune of Superior Channeling
- Harbinger's Armor for the rest of the body (Mystic can be
substituted for more armor while casting)
- Minor runes for all supporting attributes
- Superior Vigor rune to counteract penalty from Superior
Channeling rune
- Channeling staff with 20/20 HCT/HSR Channeling
modifier
- Ssyn's
Staff
- Open by casting Bloodsong. This provides a spirit which
triggers all your skills' secondary effects. (If there are other
Ritualists in the party, you may also choose to work from their
spirits since you will be able to help keep the spirits alive with
the healing effect of Spirit Boon Strike.)
- Use the four attack spells on the bar from left to right. The
healing from Spirit Boon Strike will more than counter the health
the spirit loses from Gaze from Beyond.
- Cycle attack skills as they recharge, making sure that you are
always in the vicinity of a spirit when you cast Essence Strike, as
this helps your energy management.
- Cast and drop Generous Was Tsungrai as and when you need a
heal, or hold it to increase your maximum Health.
- If you should cast Flesh of My Flesh on a fallen ally, you can
quickly regain the health that you lost by casting and dropping
Generous Was Tsungrai.
- You should not run out of Energy while using this build unless
you meet energy denial foes or the battle is extremely protracted.
If you do run out of energy, spam Essence Strike to help yourself
out.
[edit] Counters
- Destroy the spirit to reduce this build's effectiveness.
However, note that two of the four attack spells do the same amount
of damage with or without a spirit present.
- Energy denial and anti-spam hexes, since this is a spamming
build.
