Channeling in HM

I know that Elementalists suffer from a serious lack in power when it comes to Hard Mode do to the fact that all but a few of their skills deal elemental damage. Considering that most Channeling Magic spells dish out Lightning damage, I was curious as to if Channeling Ritualists suffer a loss along with Elementalists. I realize there are some skills that are still devastating, such as Splinter Weapon, however from a general Channeling Magic damage dealer standpoint, how do they fare?

Ancestor's Rage, Splinter Weapon are still very strong. Destruction and Destructive Was Glaive can do a huge amount of damage but are a bit risky in forcing you to get involved in skirmish. Other than that, Essence Strike and Offering of Spirit are still solid energy management.

I would use [splinter weapon] along with something like [volley] or [barrage]. Using SW, you can pump out massive armor-ignoring AoE damage and maintain backline safety.

I usually use the channeling stuff that blows things up big time on a necro. Ancestor's, splinter and spirit rift are usually enough to blow things to kingdom come. On the rest of the bar I can stick stuff such as foul feast and enchant removal.

Lightning based spells in HM , Enemies got lots of armor so that gonna be a big load of damage even if you run 14 channeling
