Did the Ritualist get any other buffs/nerfs as well?

There's been a pretty huge update, and by huge I mean necromancer skills that cost 1 energy. Mesmers also got nerfed for some reason.

So far, I know that Ancestors' Rage damage is now displayed to the CASTER, which is pretty major.

Personally, I'd be happy that Rage and Splinter weren't completely annihilated (probably in part due to Archers no longer balling... huzzah!).

Combined with the Kaolai buff, things is looking good for the strong Rit skills. And the trash is still laughable trash, just like every other class

Typical that they first nerfed Splinter Weapon and now they actually do something about the problem....

I'm glad about Protective was Kaolai for selfish reasons. If I use an item spell, it's Kaolai 99% of the time.

An on-demand party heal that serves as 30% damage reduction too?
Yes pl0x

The only other one I'd bother with would be Pure was Li Ming, for the areas where mass party-cleansing outweighs party healing.

Everything else is niche (VwK) or just plain crap (Lee Sa).

Considering using Vorizon means we're not getting our benefits from our staff/focus/fcr/frt etc then the +30 energy really isn't that much, nor is +15 armour going to save you from anything that requires you to be saved

Vorizon is also in communing, which is a complete pile of crap.

And mods don't apply to spirts so then it's okay.

But most of my item builds include protective. It rules.

Vorizun is bad because it wastes a skill slot doing what a high-energy set and a shield set do for you anyway.

Learn to press F2/F3, then go hold some better ashes.

But on topic, you try to get a +30 EN and +15 AL with weapons, probably you need a high shield attribute and a +15 en -1 regen inscription.

But as I sayed Protective Was Kaolai is better in my opinion +24 AL is quite good.
