Ok seriously Anet, joke's over, fix Clamor of Souls.

We are supposed to accept this piece of trash, let alone as a standard skill...but an elite ? Are you serious?

Compared with Ancestors Rage theres just no reason for this skill's elite status, Ancestor's Rage beats it at every turn and its a standard skill ?

Clamor of Souls (Elite):
Recharge time:12
Activation Time:1
Damage output: 122 (Conditional AoE, Based on surrounding allies)
Cost:10 (!)

Ancestor's Rage:
Recharge time:8
Activation Time: 1/4 (Actual damage has a 1 second delay)
Damage output: 137 (Unconditional AoE)
Cost:5

As you can see, theres no reason to waste your elite spot with this piece of junk when you have ancestors, also note ancestors (while outclassing Clamor's damage,recharge, AoE and cost) is a LOT more versatile as it can be used on other allies (such as melee !).

How i would fix Clamor:

10e, 1/4 cast, 20 recharge

Elite Spell. All foes within earshot of a spirit you control take 30...150 damage (armour ignoring), attacking foes are interrupted. (A Clamor is a howling wail, working with that theme wailing in gw usually refers to interrupting attacking foes).

Well, that's just my opinion..what do you other ritualists out there think ?

Seems more like a bug to me, that you should report directly to PlayNC.com
Btw. it helps posting with manners

I gets real passionate about my class

Their joke was never funny to begin with

This needs fixing.

It really does need fixing... however there are alot of Elite's out there that need a good buff or at least need abit of tweeking. Anyway i agree here, goodwork

[skill]Balthazar's Pendulum[/skill]

Yes, you managed to find a skill which was considerably better than Clamour of Souls.

@ OP: /signed.

That skill needs a drastic change.

No No No.... if you get 8 people casting clamor at the same time against 8 other people at lvl 12 thats 976 damage to all 8 other players.... The skill is fine its just that YOUR DOING IT WRONG!

www.yourdoingitwrong.com

Do people actually follow the links they post or do they just assume their wrong spelling IS the right link?

R!ghteous Ind!gnation is right

"And if you have 8 people casting Ancestor's Rage at the same time against 8 other people at lvl 12?"

You can't, anymore.

THANK YOU! Unfortunately, he's the typical troll. He puts one post and never reads the thread again, giggling to himself at just how funny he thought that last post was! So as much as we want him to, he's learned nothing from your post.

Oh noes you discovered my secret plan to bring back Ritualist spike !

Someone failed reading comprehension.

You're doing it wrong still... and thats @ level 16, but with 8 rits you should have plenty of healing anyway, I am only saying that you get a hit every time (with clamor and with 8 people casting its crazy and 1 person casting its not bad). ANYWAY... Ancestors rage isn't always going to hit effectively, but with Clamor you can hit 8 people for 122 damage every time... the skill doesn't need rebalancing imo.

Thats cute... unfortunately I am at work now so i cant post a reply every 5 minutes. I understand what he was trying to say I am just saying that the skill is fine as is imo.

Then say it without posting links to some non-existing site. A point can still go across without pretty pictures. Well, to some.

i agree lol, this is a brutal spell if used right, i mean seriously how can you complain about this skill when [skill]"The Power Is Yours!"[/skill] still exists as is lol

Then make it an enchantment, or have it destroy the spirit or something.

As it is, clamor of souls is utter crap. Some kind of change would let channeling rits run something other than offering of spirit for once.

EDIT:

ZOMG better nerf [skill]flame burst[/skill] It's non elite and vastly outclasses clamor. Also, ancestor's rage IS always going to hit effectively. Clamor won't because of the wonky requirement of standing in a big ball.

EDIT PART TWO: Tenshi, the power is yours is actually pretty good in caster heavy parties.

Sorry... here are you pretty pictures: http://www.doingitwrong.com

Very funny site, just keep clicking on the pics.

Ultimately, with pictures or no pictures... the skill is fine as is.

You see, this skill would be so much better if they made it like Aeigis. Enchanting all nearby party members.
The power is yours? O.ó wtf is that a Captain Planet quote!??
Also, not one for using leet often but "OMG" -10energy degen!? For 8 Energy!?
[wiki]"Never Give Up!"[/wiki] Gives more! X_X
Sheesh if you want group energy take a BiP Necro >_< or my personal build of combine the two!

p.s.
Haha ace xD *clicks*

Edit: Trivia from Guildwiki;
* "The Power is Yours!" is the catch-phrase of cartoon superhero Captain Planet.
* The skill icon is from the movie "Masters of the Universe" based on He-man (who is famous for saying "I have the Power!").
Haha xD That skill is now awsome. Just for that. I'm rerolling Paragon
