Ritualist a neglected profession? (yes, more whining)

YOU wish ritualists were made more fun and more powerful??

Honey, I have the most fun playing my ritualist, and is easily my most useful character. Now that PuG's recognize ritualist healing (they all take resto users now) and HA and TA has Rit Spike... NO ONE can say they arent powerful enough.

It's all personal opinion, really. Like Frojack said, if you aren't having fun with ritualist, give another profession a try. Ritualists are fine the way they are. Thank you for saving me the time of saying that.

Also you could just try a healer spammer using life as your spirit for some odd reason without an elite that build has outhealed more monks than I can count. also I am curious on the note of your spirits dieing
A.Where are you standing
B. Do you have any points in communing.

Edit:Sorry if this was said already.

People want rits to be something they really aren't they make great healers but can't heal like a monk can. They can deal great amounts of dmg but not like eles. also they buff using weapons spells better than many protection monks i have found. It's all a personal preference. Personally I like healing as a rit more cause they have the ashes and that works out to be a great full self heal as well as a health boost and works wonders when having to rez a retard party.

"I'm using Animate Thread!"

This thread was dead for 2 months..

Anyhow, for what it's worth, Rits have definitely been neglected in Eye of the North....The choice in new green weapons is...lacking...compared with other professions.

WHY SO MANY HAMMERS? Cause they felt bad for wammos?
Sorry for the double post.

-The Ritualist heals just as good as a healing Monk. What game are you playing? Because that's not the case in Guild Wars. Not in the least.

also things that rits can do that aren't neccesary in PvE After laughing at your post, I decided to quote one part of it rather than sharing my views on the rest. I don't claim to be an expert at ritualists, but IMHO, I'd prefer getting one communing rit with union and shelter for UW over one prot spirit monk. Why? The whole tank does tanking, eles nuke and monks prot spirit and heal thing is extremely overrated.

Ritualists break the conventions of PuG's, hence why *some* people neglect them because they prefer to stay with the "holy trinity". So far, a ritualist has been the ONE thing that has helped my warrior get through Sebelkeh HM, Eternal Grove HM and Thunderhead Keep HM - not just spirit spam builds, but channeling, restoration and mixes of two. You can't just say "they're useless" because they're not.

Ritualists don't have to wait for 5 seconds to deal insane AoE dmg like an ele does, a Rit can use Ancestor's rage and spirit rift (just using an example) along with Destructive was Glaive and all enemies are already down to about a quarter health.

Rits may not be "conventional" but you can't say they're completely incompetent... damage dealing or defensive, the bottom line is that Ritualists are a great addition to any party, anywhere, anytime. If you want, give any pro ritualist (I've got a long way to go yet) any place that you think a ritualist would be utterly ineffective and I say that person would be able to add a ritualist build that would significantly increase the damage output or the defensive capability of the team.

What game are you playing? Because that's not the case in Guild Wars. Not in the least. yeah they can actually, lol. But y'know, monks have divine favor, which makes all of their stuff heal in some way.

Good god!! Why is this thread even still alive? because anet nerf this class again and again,

Restoration:
rit can be a healer, but she cannot heal as good as a monk in most of the time; the spirits life now is fewer and rit healer is even weaker........

Channeling Magic
rit can use channel spike but anet have destroyed the whole rit spike build last month

Communing
rit can summon spirits but the health of spirits are nerfed recently..............

Spawning Power
the most useless primary attribution..........and anet nerf Weapon of Warding due to this rubbish attribution
