Hey guys, can anyone give me a spirit spammer build that holds both offensive and supportive power for a ritualist while using [skill]Assassin's Promise[/skill] (originally, I was going to use [skill]Ritual Lord[/skill] and getting it from the Glacial Griffon, but I was a bit to lazy to get to Sifhalla myself). Anyways, any suggestions?

Hmm... PvE or PvP?

I'd go channeling & communing:

[skill]bloodsong[/skill][skill]pain[/skill][skill]destruction[/skill][skill]agony[/skill][skill]Anguished Was Lingwah[/skill][skill]soul twisting[/skill][skill]Mighty Was Vorizun[/skill]

The last skill would be one of:
[skill]spirit boon strike[/skill]
[skill]painful bond[/skill]
[skill]vampirism[/skill]
[skill]gaze of fury[/skill]

...or any other skill needed. Note that vampirism is PvE only. You could also use the recall spirits PvE skill, which is an alliance skill. Also note that bloodsong is in channeling magic now and mighty was vorizun gives +30 energy, not +20, now.

I'd suggest going into one, offensive spirit spamming or restoration (basically my fav. rit support role). Mixing in both probably wouldn't make you effective in either.

Both PvE skills (Vampirism and Summon Spirits) have found their way on every PvE Spirit Spammer build I've made so far as IMO they're extremely powerful. Combining them with offensive spirits/skills has been most to my liking so far, the singular targeting after Summon Spirits makes for a nice spike. Which works fine with AP... but I don't think the investment in Deadly Arts is worth it; skills such as Swap and Spirit Walk make for better choices as a Rt/A Spirit Spammer.

the spirit spammer build will mostly be for pve, Biostem, but I do feel that ritual lord is the best elite for a spirit spammer.

Actually, there is only one obvious build you can make with what I think you want in mind:

[skill]Pain[/skill][skill]Anguish[/skill][skill]Shadowsong[/skill] for offensive

[skill]Displacement[/skill][skill]Shelter[/skill][skill]Union[/skill] for defensive

[skill]Boon of Creation[/skill] or [skill]Mighty Was Vorizun[/skill]for some form of e-management and survivability

And one free slot of your choice, Assassin's Promise or Ritual Lord or Rez Skill or whatnot.

The only thing I can think of changing is, replacing shadowsong with vampirism, and you now actually have 3 damaging spirit.


**********

The next obvious question is: will it be efficient and effective for the many things you want to do in PVE?

Now that's for you, to find out.




PS: But going Resto/Channeling is the best way to go right now. And most builds on these area usually use only one or two spirits.

Depends on title track tough.
It is quite quick and powerful.

It also depends, if you want to bring [skill=text]wanderlust[/skill]then [skill=text]Boon Of Creation[/skill] is probably a better choice.
