I heard there was one for PvE? At least in the preview weekend. I think they took them out because people were able to make some sick spirit spamming builds that were rather unfair. You just gave me a good idea though. Use Elementalist and set them up as spirit spammers. 3 spirit spammers + 1 monk = gg?

Why would it be any more unfair for a hero ritualist than a human ritualist?

Well, I think this was done because the lack of real people ritualists, but why add 9 of 10 professions? no sense. About lack of real ritualists, I think the opposite; maybe if I like a lot my ritualist hero I will play a real one, I want "explore" the possibilities of a ritualist, but I am not sure about waste a character slot for that, a Rit hero will help me a lot in my decision.

I gave Koz Ritualist as a secondary profession, and he does go off and use the skills without me having to tell him to.

In theory, you could fake it by giving your Hero only ritualist skills in the skill bar after picking a primary profession that enabled the energy needs well enough.

As a player who primarilly plays Rit, I love that my class is the only one without a Hero counterpart. All the more demand for Rits in those situations where you can just shove an AI hero in its place. You want spirits? HUMAN Rit for you, baby.

Perhaps it's because the Factions-exclusive Hero is an Assassin and they didn't want to make two exclusive heroes?

I'd like to hear some sort of official word on this though. I don't see a solid gameplay reason why Rits should be shunted.

I'm fairly certain there is an npc that has a variable for his primary profession. It was in the handbook if I remember right.

Ritualists are not Nightfall Characters, nor are Assassins, Nightfall Only Players cannot get an Assassin, etc etc. Since the games are stand alone they don't crossover. By this principle if you see a Ritualist or Assassin Boss in Nightfall it is a new elite.

I wanted a Ritualist Hero to use a Continual Channeler build.

Haven't heard of this Razah. Can you describe this person? Like where you get him and what not. I'm sure we're all curious.

** SPOILERS AHEAD **

Razah is listed as the 14th Hero, with Variable profession, in the game manual. However, Captain Morgahn, the Paragon Hero, is not listed in the game manual. My guess is they changed this Razah for Captain Morgahn, because there is, as far as I have been able to tell, no reference to Razah when you finish the game. You are offered 4 quests to find the 4 remaining Heroes, no mention of Razah.
