I am working through the factions campaign so i can get spirit twisting and drop 2 agonies in quick succession...
You can't have more than 1 of the same kind of spirit out at a time. So if you used Agony -> Soul Twisting -> Agony then the Second Agony would just take place of the first.

I think he means the fact that the spirits die quick, and he can recast it fast.

i noticed that an Rt can do massive lightning damage with the right build
for the moment i use this one

i only use it for PvE

Splinter Barrager with Nightmare Weapon and Triple Shot at 16 Channeling makes taking a Primary Ritualist so worth it.
Minions Bombers are really fun to play too.

you can only have one weapon spell on you at a time
then i'd just take the splinter weapon of the Rt

beside you have allies.

^ where do you get those statistics from? My guild has held many 1 on 1 tournies and Rit usually has no problems. The only problem professions are rangers (ranged, interrupt) and dervishes (massive healing)
anti melee = blind (weapon of shadow)
anti spike = generous was ...
mes and necro can give trouble to rit same way they do to any other professions.
if you want to make the playing field really unfair, lay down spirits.

Sorry, I was referring to Spawning Power. I should have made myself clearer.

Why not just play rock-paper-scissors?

I don't believe the limit to 1 of the same spirit is accurate; I H/H'd the Arborstone mission using soul twisting and destruction as the "sacrifice spirit" and could drop 2 vampirisms and they lived (until they were killed by an enemy or their timer ran out). I've also been able to drop 2 bloodsongs, 2 agonies, etc.
I only have a major channeling rune + a channeling headgear, and nightmare weapon is good for 3 attacks healing 50 each. A triple shot build would heal 50 per enemy hit, yet only count as 1 attack; thus netting 150 per attack for 3 attacks. Barrage would be even better w/ 50 hp for up to 6 enemies, thus netting 900 hp per use!
I was using ancestor's rage initially, but found it cumbersome. Now I use a build like this:
Channeling 15
Spawning Power 13
Restoration: 3
[skill]bloodsong[/skill][skill]vampirism[/skill][skill]spirit rift[/skill][skill]agony[/skill][skill]soul twisting[/skill][skill]nightmare weapon[/skill][skill]spirit boon strike[/skill][skill]flesh of my flesh[/skill]

As for Sante_Kelm: yes you're right I agree spawning power compared to other profession's primary attribute is pretty weak. I would say even the elites in Channeling are pretty weak too (which has already been discussed)
Edit:
I won't pollute this topic with non-sense like below. Anyways if you read or can read you'll see my response is quite logical to argument that Rits can't perform against other professions (as shown/proven wrong by 1 on 1). I've learned not to argue with certain ppl who can't use any logic or change the subject at hand for no reason.

Terraban - I'll post a screen shot of my rit having 2 of the same spirit out at the same time, when I get home.

So you're telling me and the rest of us, as well as Wikipedia, that we're wrong?
I can tell you for a fact that I continually see my spirits die when I recast them, I don't know how else to make you believe me O_o

How did you work that out? Nightmare Weapon only affects each hit not each attack skill. If you use Triple Shot it will hit the enemy 3 times and thus ending Nightmare. If you use it with Barrage you will get the life steal from only the first 3 hits. The other hits will hit as normal.

You can't have two of the same spirit unless the distance between those two spirits is big enough. Which wouldn't matter anyway....they'd be too far apart to both effect the same enemy at the same time. Because spirits as vampirism and bloodsong live quite long they will just hang around till they are at their time limit. EDIT: Some Spirit Strength's builds should be fun to play with and Minion Bombing is nice as a primary Ritualist as well. But besides that? No real advantages.......except for appearance and style of course 
Scary Raebbit
Advantage of Rits?
Pious Haste, can run runes to make big numbers bigger, look stupid running a flag, fast casting heals using said runes.

Almost everything you have posted is completely wrong. 1) You can only have one type of each spirit. This was changed during the beta for factions, since people used glyph of renewal and the pain spirit ashpot to summon huge armies of spirits that instagibbed anything. You may have 2 of the same spirit if they are out of range of each other, but that's a different beast. 2) Triple shot is 3 attacks. It burns through all your nightmare weapon attacks, as does barrage or any other multi-attack skill. For everyone else, it's really not that great a combo. 15 energy for 150 points of life stealing every 10 seconds with 4.5 second use time isn't that great. It does, however, look cool. 3) Ancestor's rage is the second strongest skill in the entire rit skilltree, second only to splinter weapon.

You can have more than one copy of a given spirit up at once, as long as each spirit is at least 2500 inches (half a radar) away from every other one.

Pfff all you arguing about skills are missing the point. PvE is always easy no matter what primary you are, go with what you think looks the best while you play. In that area, ritualists are very impressive.

True, but that's about as useful as a pig with 9 assholes.

I see the potential in one of them.
