Talk about the Ritualist Skills for GW:EN

I was pretty disappointed seeing the new skills. I was especially excited for new Ritualist and Monk skills to use for farming. But I guess both were left out. All the new skills are mainly aimed towards pvp and pve questing and missions. Barely anything that would be really useful for farming, especially without new elites. But I'm definately disappointed about the new Ritualist skills. Lets hope the Title skills will make up for most of them. Of course with that you will have to spend hours on end to level up each title to take advantage of the skills. Theres really only 14 new skills for each profession total. Pretty shi*tty deal, especially with no new Elites to play around with.

I personally don't give a crap about PvP, I think it ruins everything for the PvE part of game. PvE is the main point in playing Guildwars, but yet PvP controls most or all of the skills and nerfs. And it seems they made most of these new skills for PvP.

But farming builds will most likely stay almost the same, no new Elites to play around with. Just new alternative skills to add to same ol' builds.

Agony and Rejuvenation are awesome especially when combined with Signet of Creation. This should give these two spirits some good stay power during a fight.

Mending Grip
Spell. Target ally is healed for 15...63...75 Health. If that ally is under the effects of a weapon Spell, that ally loses one Condition.

i suggest it remove a hex instead of a condition


the ritualist restoration skills are very powerful but conditional(always require spirits or holding items)
i hope ritualists have some team effect restoration skills like LoD(conditional surely)

Call me wierd, (it's ok, everyone does) but there was nothing I saw that is gonna encourage me to get out of my Minion Bombing Build. Spirits take too long to cast, too long to recharge, for too short of a lifetime. Yes, there are skills to alleviate that. But I prefer not to start with a weak base then build stronger as I go. Weapon spells are too defensive for me. I stopped Echo-chaining Fire spells when Factions came out, and Channeling is no different. I do miss the frequent explosions, though. I refuse to Splinter Barrage.

If anything, GWEN is going to allow me to enjoy what I do, for as long as I choose to do it. Am I a creature of habit? Yes. In fact, I enjoy a good grind. However, I hate PVP. Am I likely to eat my words when GWEN comes out, and again when GW2 make us all start over? Probably. :-p

A rit casting sundering weapon on a Dervish would make for a very nasty combo.
