My First Ritualist Build

Now, even though Mend costs more energy and heals for less, the recharge time is its saving grace.

Mend Body and Soul has a recharge time of 3 and heals for 60 at 10 restoration, the hp healed per second is 20.
It appear to me that you spent 10 points on restoration purely for Mend Body and Soul. I dunno, that seems like a very high price to pay for that spell.

70 points isn't much in the way of healing. I love the ability to remove multiple conditions with the skill, but that alone doesn't justify 10 points to me. Perhaps you'd prefer to run with either Spirit to Flesh or Feast of Souls. Both are spawning skills and would allow you to either add a powerful nuke, or a powerful area heal to your abilities. Simply touch a friendly (or enemy) spirit and you'll notice a huge effect. Plus, doing so would allow you to spend those 9 points of restoration elsewhere.

Wailing Weapon might also make sense. Gives you an interrupt ability. If I had a 9th slot, this skill would ALWAYS travel with me.

You could also swap out Mend Body and Soul for Recuperation. The Recuperation spirit gives all the allies and minions in the area a +2 health regen...every MM in PVE will love you for it. You could then drop the points for restoration down to lvl 4 to maintain the +2 and invest the remainder of points elsewhere.

But, now Im faced with a dilema, should I push spawning up to 14? It would take...well... 25 less health(major rune)... something I dont want to push using Attuned. Personally, I'd try out recuperation with lvl 4 restoration, when you travel with a MM. Plus, it would give you another spirit to use Spirit to Flesh with in emergencies. You could also add "Shadowsong" to your set of skills. Costs 10 energy, but blinds the target. Really helps cut down on damage when the Shadowsong spirit attacks either a ranger or a tank. You could Spirit to Flesh him also if things get tough.

You could ditch Mantra for a nice steal energy spell...especially if you put more points into inspiration.

Also, Ive been looking at Glyph of Concentration to stop interrupts. Btw, Glyph doesnt seem to have any disadvantages.... why dont more people use it? It's a good skill when needed. For PvE, I always keep my ritualist at the back of the group, next to the monks. By staying back, I am rarely attacked and probably only experience interrupts about 5% of time I cast my binding rituals.

Being a damage rit, you probably need to be closer to the front, so it might make good sense for your template.

Lately I've been doing challenge missions with 2 monks, 2 rits and a mix of others. The monks were both healing/protection based, and the rits were a cross between healing and damage. I'd play the healing rit and the other guy would focus on spike damage.

The damage dealer had 3 spirits and the elite skill rit lord:
Pain (inexpensive damage dealer)
Destruction (does damage when it dies)
Earthbind (when something is knocked down, it stays down)

He would summon all 3 spirits, then use Doom for some serious damage (because all 3 spirits are refreshing). Then, he would use Rupture Soul on the Earthbind spirit when it got low and would do an INSANE amount of spike damage to all the enemies around us. Not only that, but Rupture Soul also made all those enemies blind for like 12 seconds, allowing us to reduce our damage. 5 seconds later, he would then use Rupture Soul on the Destruction spirit for the knockout damage = the destruction damage + Rupture Soul damage. Very nasty. Pain was just there to dish damage and be around in case he needed to Rupture a third time (rarely happened).
