Nightfall Ritualist Skills

Speaking of New skills, what the heck is up with Sight Beyond Sight, that prevents Rits from suffering from blindness, i mean Rits are CASTERS, and i dont recall the skill description saying anything like "target ally" in it. Has anybody got screen cap of new skills or anything? Lol i think its another tip to the melee rit. IF you didn't notice, many skills seem almost designed to encourage melee use of the rit. I've tried to get melee rits to work, but tehy simply dont have the dmg output. With spirits strength in Restoration they wont have the defense to go with it. maybe a bow ritulist?

The ritulist doesn't mesh very well outside of spawning. ANyone whos tried to use channeling will know thats its not very effective compared to an Ele, ritulist spells just have too many secondary requirements must be under the effect of a weapon, must be in the area of a spirit,

( a sure sign of a crappy skill, just take spirit light weapon, consume soul, two awsomely crappy elites, both of which have normal skill counter parts that put them to shame)

THe ritulist just doesnt really do anything well outside of spamming spirits, defensive or offensive. I know some people will say OMG channeling awsome dps over time! but without 2+ spirit backup channeling is worthless as hell.
Striking for 30-50 dmg on rangers and most wars. And only a threat to squishies with no monk protection ( which never happens outside of RA)

REstoration is a bit better. It makes up for lack of protection with high point heals and good use of resiliant weapon or weapon of warding combined with recuperation to make some decent regen.

weapons not being stackable , and not being able to attack through items takes away sooo many possiblilities. I would rather items act as a focus, being one handed, in other words you'd lose the magical effects to your item without losing 20/20 FC FR time on your weap. ALso you could really think of some melee rit builds if this were the case.

make weapons stackable up to 2, this way you could actually have protection combos. weapon of warding and resiliant weapon, venful weapon and weapon of renewal.

the rit is limited because of of his unfortuante having to rely on spirits to be nearby, The "in the Area" affect manes that the skill is basicly confined to be used only for yoruself, because rarely do you want you melee guys ontop of youspirits.

any wyas /rant
i liek ritulits, but they are made just barely over the edge unworkable. a little to short duration, here, to low an aoe there. ritulist will always be my favorite class, because of how underused it is outside of spirit spam. when nightfall comes i have a hard time seeing the ritulist really remaing around,

he'll have to jion up wiht the dervrish at teh bar of unuse so to speak.
