Which one would be a better elite for a flexible Ritualist bar?

I'm leaning towards Promise, but I want some other opinions.

They're both fine for a flexible bar. I generally run a 12 Channeling/10 Restoration/8 Deadly split with AP. 12/12/3 Spawning also has a legitimate use with OoS. If you find yourself concentrating more on Restoration skills, you'd probably be better with OoS so that you're not trying to hex an enemy while watching your party members. If you're more offensive-minded, AP would be the better way to go.

Seconding what zelgadissan said. Use AP for more offensive builds with skills that have long recharge (Summon Ebon Sin, "YMLAD!" and "FINISH HIM!" just to name a few) and save OoS for when you are running a resto/hybrid build with a spirit in tow.

Ok thanks. I'll go cap Promise.

And I know much of Upier's deeds.

Yep, you guessed it!

No wait ... you didn't.

For me personally, OoS seems like a waste.
It's simple e-management and nothing else and the fact that it's so heavily used speaks volumes about the quality of all ritu elites.
You know - you don't run OoS because it would be godly beyond words - you run it because everything else is so bad (Xinrae and Remedy of course excluded).

I use AP on my rit
He loves it. Although, he's been a little busy this past little while owning in CB with that awesome build

I capped it a little bit ago.

It works great, now I just need a build to suit it.

Mighty Was Vorizun is a terrible skill. Save a skill slot and bring a high energy set / shield set if need be, MWV does nothing for you but use up a skill slot.

The advantage of Assassins' Promise is that it combines with Discord extremely efficiently, and it charges your skills. The advantage of OoS is that it opens your secondary and doesn't need additional skill attribution. Outside of the choices, however, I'd go with Xinraes' or Remedy. Within the given choices, I'd use AP because it gives me the advantage of a stronger usage of PvE skills.

Psychic Distraction in a spirit spam build: genious!

I love your "thinking out of the box" Upier

Thinking outside the box is shit tbh, there are skills that work and skills that just dont work, thats all.

On topic, AP > OoS, lurve AP.
