couple of questions about rits

hello

i've decided to make a rit and i have a couple of questions ::

1. what are the best weapon sets? a defensive set, 40/40 restoration, 40/40 channeling, and a high set; or would a staff work better instead of wand/focus?

2. are spirit strength builds worth looking in to (for pve)?

3. what builds do you run (in normal and in hm)?

and last but not least...any suggestions on my build would be helpful.

[build prof=Rt/ rest=12+1 chan=12+1+1 spawn=3+1][offering of spirit][spirit rift][ancestors' rage][splinter weapon][protective was kaolai][spirit light][life][weapon of warding][/build]

thanks

1. With that build you will usually be holding Kaolai, so weapon set doesn't matter much. In general though a 40/40 for each attribute you use (staff is for the +20% enchants, rits won't need it), then a defensive spear/shield set and a high energy set.

2. Spirits strength works pretty well with bows and spears. Melee is dangerous though, your armor is quite low. I would rather run a channeling/restoration build but if you want a change it can be good.

3. That build is pretty solid, only change I would make is take out spirit rift cause half the time you are gonna miss with it anyway. Put Mend Body and Soul in its place, it gives condition removal + a second heal.

in terms of weapon i would run a defensive set and a high set. most build will run a bundle so don't fret over any complex 20/+1 or any of that stuff.
