Need a "Survivor" Rit build

I'm trying to get max Survivor, and I need to be real safe.

I'm new to Rits, so I need you guys to help me with a build that would offer as much survivability as possible. Thanx.

I'd say that your best bet would be to go with a Restoration build and hang out WELL in the backline. Many of the Restoration item spells are fantastic for survivability, such as Generous was Tsungrai or Protective was Kaolai.

An alternative strategy would be to go a Communing route, and maintain defensive spirits such as Union or Shelter. Be advised though, when you're spawning a spirit, you're just sitting on the ground for 3-5 seconds, and that could put you in danger. With a Restoration-based build, you'd at least have the mobility to kite if needed.

I'd tentatively say that it's not incredibly difficult to get max Survivor on a Ritualist. We're sorta backline folk anyway. Just keep your wits about you and you should be okay.

i would say resto with channeling. then you can dmg and heal yourself/others

I'm working on survivor as well. Communing/restoration, with 3 offensive spirits, weapon of warding, mend body and soul. It's not hard to run it, even played primary healer for a low-level team.

I used straight offensive channeling build and made it pretty far before I died. Nice thing about offensive build you can call targets better for your henchies if you are a solo player like me.

Warning- Watch out for the necro spikers on the bridge in mission 2.

The simplest way I've ever known to get survivor title is to find some way to fit this into your bar along with a self heal of choice.

Use this with the best armor you can find and very careful aggro control and you should be fine.
