I like Ssyn's Staff. At first it was because it was the most accessible Channeling staff available to me, but I soon discovered that it was animated, too.

I prefer Podaltur's Fury, a wand, with an appropriate focus. Ritualist weapons are often pointless though, since we end up carting around ashes.

- golden boar has nice animated skin
- straw effigy looks cool and its dyable
- 40% HSR = great SW spamming

having 2 wands each with 20% chance of half recharge is not equal to 40% but I can't tell you why. I forgot my probability.

It's like saying if a winning ticket has 20% chance of winning and you buy 5 tickets you'll win 100%.

Someone explain this pls lol

Two 20% HCT items result in a 32% chance to HCT (when one modifier "kicks in" but not the other giving 0.2*0.8 + 0.8*0.2 = 0.32), plus a 4% chance to Quarter Casting Time (when both modifiers "kick in" giving 0.2*0.2 = 0.04). Skill recharge reduction is capped at 50% from multiple sources, so two 20% HSR simply result in a 36% chance to HSR (if both modifiers kick in, you still only get halved skill recharge so chance to HSR = 32% + 4% = 36%). But wait, the Golden Boar Scepter is animated? I never knew that (and the wiki didn't mention it, either). I'll have to look into it, since there aren't too many good lookin' channeling wands available. I'm actually trying to get either a Podaltur's Fury or a Wayward Wand soon, since the other wands are a bit suspect in one way or another. I had two Kayin's Focus's drop in a row, so I was destined to be a wand-based channeler.

However, my opinion would change if [skill]Mighty was Vorizun[/skill] was in some other attribute besides communing.

Someone explain this pls lol My bad, I should have posted 2x20HSR to make it clear. I realize it doesn't equal to 40% total but its still better chance than 20HSR from staff.

Mossbeard's Wand.

It's different.
It was the first green rit wand my Rit received.
It helps recharge [skill]Attuned Was Songkai[/skill] and [skill]Spirit's Strength[/skill] (when the inevitable double strip happens) a little faster.
Besides the green goes well with my armor.

Cheers,

Correct. I'd prefer to have a chance at being close to 90 continuous seconds of it than wait for the refresh.

I usually use a bow once Spirit's Strength is cast, but who cares. Everyone uses different weapons and builds.

I use kaolin wand, vengeance seeker, quansong's focus (love it XD) and mallyx's creation the most, with a forgotten staff for restoraton and a collectors channeling staff atm.

the vengeance, kaolin and quansong's are by far my favourite.

oh, also got a bogroot staff yestoday but i'll most likely just sell that.

Delic's Vengeance Seeker is my favorite green for my rit. I farmed the hell out of Delic on my necro and never got more than three of these to drop.

I use in in conjunction with Quansong's Focus and have been very happy with the pair since factions.

Someone explain this pls lol Simple explanation. the 20% HSR mods do not stack. They trigger independently. you will have a slightly higher chance of getting the HSR to trigger because the game will check twice but each time it checks you still only have a 20% chance to get it. Does that make more sense?

My vote goes for Ironwing Flabow in PvE ... Nice skin and splinter barrage is just sweet if you wanna breeze through some mob heavy areas with Hero/Hench.

No other green for Rit's really got my attention so far ...
But that might change after this thread ...

Nice one.

Cheers,
Timebandit

P.s. Two times 20% HSR (wand and offhand) equals a probability of 36% ...

You fail for two reasons: One, bringing back a dead thread, and two, you should be trying to sell in the Trade forums. GG.

I usually pick my weapons based on stats only,
There fore most communing weapons are crap, except Quansong's Focus
