Rit Build for PvE Damage

I need a good rit PvE build for DMG dealing, preferably with 1 self-heal (Soothing Memories, Mend Flesh and Body)

I really need help, right now I'm stuck with Caretaker's Charge..and all my guild members say it sucks

[skill]Ancestors' Rage[/skill][skill]Splinter Weapon[/skill]

Terra said it all. Then you can add some sirit, some heal, some other fun stuff, its all good.

you can also go Rt/P with [skill]Spirit's Strength[/skill].

That's the good thing about rits, for general PvE there's only a few staple skills (mostly ancestor's/splinter weapon) and the rest can be entirely up to your preference / playing style. What i tend to do is this..

[skill]Mighty was Vorizun[/skill] / [skill]Channeled Strike[/skill] / [skill]Ancestors' Rage[/skill] / [skill]Splinter Weapon[/skill] / [skill]Empowerment[/skill] / [skill]Arcane Echo[/skill] / [skill]Offering of Spirit[/skill] / [skill]Flesh of my Flesh[/skill]

My rit's main build is primarily channeling with some small restoration magic for backup (recuperation and spirit light which is used as a self heal but works nicely on allies too).

Some must-haves if you wanna go channeling:
[skill]Spirit Burn[/skill]
[skill]Ancestor's Rage[/skill]
[skill]Splinter Weapon[/skill]
[skill]Channeled Strike[/skill]

12+1+1 Channel
10+1 Restoration
8+1 Spawning

This is a balanced approach. Rit is about support and balance, not pure damage or heal.

In the event of going more channel or heal...

[skill]channeled strike[/skill][skill]essence strike[/skill][skill]spirit rift[/skill] - damage
[skill]destruction[/skill][skill]empowerment[/skill][skill]bloodsong[/skill] - spirit
[skill]spirit light[/skill][skill]soothing memories[/skill][skill]wielder's boon[/skill] - heal
[skill]protective was kaolai[/skill][skill]cruel was daoshen[/skill] - item
[skill]death pact signet[/skill] - rez

[skill]attuned was songkai[/skill][skill]grasping was kuurong[/skill][skill]destructive was glaive[/skill]

I remembered using Destructive was Glaive when I was bringing my rit through NF. I would cast it, cast Spirit Rift at a bunch of Kournans, run up to them and cast Ancestors then drop Glaive's ashes.

I was wondering if the sunspear skill Intensity is any good to sombine with channeling like Rage, I doubt it will boost splinter, but it might be usefull,

any thoughts on it?

I see that most of u guys are using Offering of Spirits, should I use that elite over caretaker's Charge?

No, it's pretty bad in PvP as well.

Ancestors' Rage and Splinter Weapon are great, but you still have 6 skill slots left over. Stay away from the spirit-conditional damage spells like Spirit Burn.

My favorite skill for a ritualist is [card]Spirit Rift[/card]
When I use it, I feel like a Fire Elementalist.

^ you mean air elementalist?

Any idea's to combine then with the sunspear skill Intensity
could be an easy way to do 25% more damage.
