(my first shot at a) Restoration Rit

I don't know much about rest rits, but it looks like a pretty good build to me.

-Replace Weilder's Boon with Mend Body & Soul.
(for condition removal, and shorter cast & recharge)

-Replace Naomai with Flesh of My Flesh.
(you don't want to Drop Songkai to res. Plus the recharge sucks. I love Naomai but not when my build requires me to hold something else).

-In addition to the 20/20 off-hand, get a 20/+5 energy wand also.
(not sure if a 20/20 exist's. Sure it does but you never know )

-It may not be worth it (up to you really) but I'd consider a +30/+30 hp stave on switch.
(Nice if you get targeted and are at risk of death. Switching set's will cause you to drop Songkai, so be careful.)

Yeah I agree with frojack, you're putting yourself in a vulnerable position because you have two item spells, and you would normally precast Naomei before fighting while you would do the same thing with Songkai.

other than that, spirit light seems to be good. I don't like using mend body & soul unless I have at least two spirits up.

You have to remember the theatre - you cant say that removal is important incase they have daze when nothing in Urgoz uses a Daze inducing skill! Note that there are 7 copies of Heal Party in my build, with 2x BIP's and 2 condition removals (like to be increased in practice, as I will probably play around with slot #3).

My team build already has 5 Ressurection Chants for combat rezzes, Lively Was is solely there incase many people die at once. After such an event, I wont be healing for too long - its to get people up and out of there so we can regroup.

The reason I use Spawning Power items over Restoration is because of Attuned Was, it lets me have it ready more often. I dont get the bonuses of my weapons while I am holding ashes.

Resilient Weapon is basically the reason I initially chose a Rit over a Monk healer, because of the fact that in both of the 2 areas with the Weakness effect the Necro spikers will benefit greatly from increased armor. Resilient Weapon is staying in.

Vengeful is there to serve mostly in the same capacity as ROF - precastable damage mitigation. Im not the least bit concerned about its offensive capabilities.

Due to the 12 member team my initial impression that the 6HPS/Target (72 HPS for almost a minute, from just 15 energy!) from Recuuperation would amount to a staggering amount of healing for its cost. And while that is true, my build already has a plethora of Heal Party's. I could have ~2 of the spikers drop Heal Party in favor of additional condition removal, and keep Restoration in, or I could drop Restoration for Mend Body and Soul... Im torn, but I think I will rework a couple of the spikers, as rapid multi-target condition removal is likely to be a more apt approach then removing all conditions on a single target, in this case.

The build also has QZ/EW, which to be honest causes god only knows what effect with Attuned Was Songkai. I imagine it might have to do with cast order, but a fair guess is that 10 energy skills cost ~7 (ignoring the effects of EW). Spirit Light gives me a near spammable, high effect heal. I am not too worried about the negative effect of prodigious use of Spirit Transfer, but more so want something that can be spammed for constant, high single target heals in that slot. Thats why I chose Spirit Light. Itd have a ~3 second recharge, allowing me to do Spirit Light Vengeful Weapon Soothing Memories over and over again, should a spike become the target of focus fire.

Spirit Light is definatly the skill Id switch if I could, as Wielder's Boon only heals for a few points less in exchange for half the cost. Ill consider using Spirit Transfer instead.

I've been playing a restoration rt since August, and I really like my character as a healer except for one thing: Hex removal. Ritualists don't have any decent way of dealing with hexes. How y'all deal with that? Or do you leave it to the monk primaries mainly?
