Good Nightfall Ritualist Build?

I just went through all the trouble to unlock Razah on my nightfall account, and I don't own factions. Needless to say I was saddened by the fact that Nightfall offers very few skills to make an efficient ritualist. I was hoping someone had conquered this by already having an effective build I could use. I'm looking to have him be a support/healer, but anything will do, as long as it is effective and useful.

Thanks.

Unfortunately you are extremely limited. You will have to unlock the ritualist skills and see what basket of fun you can work with? I suggest this set up Rit / Mesmer using core skills as well

[skill]weapon of remedy[/skill] [skill]ghostmirror light[/skill] [skill]recovery[/skill] [skill]drain enchantment[/skill] [skill]leech signet[/skill] [skill]power drain[/skill] [skill]Web of Disruption[/skill] [skill]death pact signet[/skill]

Heavy interruption but also healing and condition removal Again you are limited give it a try Max in resto balance in inspiration and/ or maybe a little spawning


Second thought you could go Monk Smiter as a secondary an add a little damage to the mix Energy would be a concern

[skill]bane signet[/skill] [skill]scourge healing[/skill] [skill]smite hex[/skill] [skill]Zealot's Fire[/skill] Add the skills for resto to the mix

How about making use of [wiki]Offering of Spirit[/wiki]? It's good for Razah's Energy Management.

Perhaps something along the lines of
[skill]Offering of Spirit[/skill][skill]Recovery[/skill][skill]Protective Spirit[/skill][skill]Shield of Absorption[/skill][skill]Guardian[/skill][skill]Ghostmirror Light[/skill][skill]Remove Hex[/skill][skill]Death Pact Signet[/skill]
Attributes: 8 + 1 + 1 Channeling, 11 + 1 Restoration, 11 Protection Prayers, 3 + 1 Spawning.

It have absolutely no idea how well it would work, it's just something I've thought up on-the-fly. It shouldn't work as well as a Monk with Glyph of Lesser Energy as E-Management instead of OoS at any rate. You could replace Remove Hex with Dismiss Condition if need be. Recovery is in there to give you a spirit to meet the condition for Offering of Spirit. Ghostmirror Light is in there so he can do some sort of healing. 8 Points in Channeling + Headwrap + Minor Rune gives 14 energy back with OoS, 11 Restoration + 1 Minor Restoration Rune gives a not-too-shabby heal of 75 from Ghostmirror Light. Having 12 points in Protection doesn't do anything other than make protective Spirit last 1 second longer - doesn't seem worth it in my opinion, so I set that at 11. The 3 + 1 points in Spawning are leftovers...but any points in spawning will increase the health of Recovery (for what it's worth).

Factions shouldn't cost that much any more, I recommend you invest in it if you really want to make use of Razah.

Tell us, do you have Prophecies and Eye of the North? I've tried to make that build with only Nightfall / Core skills. Eye of the North at least adds another 10 Rit Skills to your list.

Idea Number 2:

Again, not something I've tested:

[skill]Offering of Spirit[/skill][skill]Air Attunement[/skill][skill]Glyph of Lesser Energy[/skill][skill]Blinding Flash[/skill][skill]Enervating Charge[/skill][skill]Lightning Strike[/skill][skill]Lightning Bolt[/skill][skill]Lightning Orb[/skill]
Attributes: 12 + 1 + 1 Channeling, 12 Air Magic

I guess it would work with most Elements, just change the Attunement and add in some well chosen skills. Air has Blinding Flash/Enervating Charge as support, which is what you asked for...other lines could incorporate more damage I s'pose (just steer away from the more expensive skills...Heroes sometimes aren't too good with energy management). Could replace a skill in there for Death Pact Signet.

It's more of an adapted Ele build than a Rit build I guess...but making a "Rit Build" with Nightfall skills isn't that easy.
