Does anyone use any green ritualist weapons?
Kais Unduli
Just curious if anyone here uses greens on their rit primaries. I haven't really come across any that I absolutely had to have while in game, and I haven't been really looking for any to begin with.

I use Ritual Lord's Staff and Spiritgarden's Repose, because they dropped for me and it's not worth it for me to try to sell them as these prices now.

Personally, I never saw any rit greens worth keeping. I've just been using a collector staff for my restoration rit for 2 reasons:
1) it has the same skin as most green rit staves
2) I prefer a +5 energy 20% enchant mod staff for most of my builds
If they come out with a nice rit staff with a unique skin in Nightfall, I might switch over, but until then, I'm not wasting my money on anything else.

i use the factions end game wayard wand for my rit with an off hand, also a green.

So far, the only rit green I can see me using is the endgame channeling focus, just so I can get a quicker recharge using the 20/20 channeling wand from Vasburg and be able to set up my spikes much quicker. Other than that, I'm not impressed really. For restoration, I've been using the spawning req lotus staff with +5 energy and +30 health, and it works great.

I use the Channeling Wayward Wand with the collector's Communing Focus (which is the same as Quansong's Focus) when I play offensive spirits.
Other than that, it's all collector's items.

I dont use weapons because of the various ashes/items that you summon. IMO there is not a single weapon that compares with the items that you summon. A lesser reason is for energy controll. In the middle of a pretty thick battle its easy to lose track of your energy, and I hate it when I suddenly have negative energy after summoning a item.

Kaolin Wand sometimes... but mainly, a collector wand.
lightblade

armor 60+5+5+10=80 AL

I use Ash/Item spells to often to bother beyond using a collectors weapon.

This is the only green I use for my ritualist (which I consider to be more of a collector's item) - I personally like the collector's and other gold items better than the other available greens.

I use Kaolin Wand and my trusted Straw Effigy.
I use Spiritgardens Repose as well.
But I am interested in buying a Brightclaw.

Weapon set 1: Mossbeard's wand (+ 5 en, 20/20 HSR Spawning) and 20/20 HCT and HSR collector's offhand. I use thing when I'm playing a build that relies on Attuned Was Songkai for the 36% chance of it recharging faster. I use Attuned was for both Channeling and Restoration builds.
Set 2: Wayward wand (+5 en, 20/20 HSR Channeling) and Quansong's focus. I use this set if I'm playing an offensive spirit rit with painful bond.
Set 3: Insightful Spiritbinder of Enchanting (the pre-order staff modded w +5 en staff head and 20% enchant mod). Used whenever I cast Boon of Creation, and then I switch to another set. Used also if I'm using spells from another profession.
Set 4: + 60 HP Restoration staff (modded collector's staff). If I'm relying on Restoration spells a lot or if my HP gets real low, I switch to this staff. Or if I'm casting Flesh of my Flesh.
Set 5: Vengeance seeker (+ 5 en, 20/20 HSR Communing) with Quansong's focus. Used when I'm putting up defensive spirits and likely using dulled weapon and vital weapon.
But as others have pointed out, there are a lot of times when you have an item in hand, so you lose any bonuses from having a weapon. Therefore, it's helpful to have a weapon that reduces recharge or cast time of the item as that's often the only use it gets.
Early in the game, I relied on my pre-order weapon and Mighty Was Vorizun. For the most part, Rit green weapons are a luxury. One can manage with collector weapons better than most classes. I remember when the Vengeance Seeker cost a ton b/c ppl thought it recharged your spirits faster

I use the end game Wayward Wand and Straw Effigy for Channeling. 36% chance of half skill recharge for Channeling. It works well with my build. +5 energy and +30 health never hurt either.
Terra Xin
I use Ssyn's Staff and two of the collector's Lotus Staff (you guys have to get you one, the skin is really nice^^ - one for channeling and one for restoration-req spawning)
Cambeul
as above said, I am mostly carrying ashes so I dont really care what weapons I am carrying. Mostly I am using a Oresons Staff +10 Armor.
When I start more channeling I will probably get some 20/20 stuff?? who konws?

I agree. Since I've started incorporating Attuned was Songkai into more of my builds, I don't really seem to enjoy the benefit from my items either. Rits are able to keep their weapon spells up the vast majority of the time, so we don't really need the bonuses I guess. They help when they kick in, but I don't rely on them.

I still like Orosen's Staff, because I got it on a drop, it adds +10 armor, and it's purple.

I go Restoration most of the time...my weapon sets are:
1. Insightful Celestial Staff of Fortitude:
I had this drop for me and it has a rare "Req 12 Restoration Magic" on it (since I run with 16 it's not an issue)...It used to be a perfect Insightful Celestial Staff of Defence but because I wanted the Rune of SUperior Restoration Magic I decided to put a +30 Staff Wrapping of Fortitude on it. It is gold, naturally, and I love the skin.
2. Bazzr's Staff:
Acquired yesterday for 20k. I have never seen one up for sale in Kaineng....or anywhere in fact... and it has never dropped for me so when I saw this I had to have it. It has HCT/HSR Restoration Magic Skills and Health +30. This staff requires 9 spawning and I love it!
3. Kaolin Wand and Restoration Focus:
The Kaolin Wand I bought on a whim one day - not really used it much but I thought if I ever went into Channeling or Communing it may come in handy. Currently twinned with a collectors Restoration Focus (With +1 Restoration Magic - 20% chance)...I like to switch to it from time to time just cause it looks cool!
4. Longbow:
For luring enemies. I am also a "/R" so for quests such as Boreas Seabed I will take Distracting / Savage Shot.

I just got all the collector's staves and modded them with +5 insightful head and +30(ish) health mods. There weren't any greens I had to have.

I use Ritual Lord's Staff...

I haven't gotten any drops. My rit is the only character I have that is decked out almost entirely with golds. I use a green straw effigy I got at the endgame but my energyhide, +15-1 sets(or near, the air wand i use is a purple +14 -1), resto and channeling sets are all max damage gold drops or something I bought on the cheap. Most have req in the 10-13 range, making swaps more of a requirement than my monk and her DF required global HSR green sets.
I haven't been activly searching for them either. I got most of the items I use early in the game and the mods on them make them well worth keeping.
