What does a Ritualist do?

Yesterday I was thinking about making a Ritualist,they do look pretty cool afterall ,and here we are today,me all excited to creat one But then I thought,wth a Ritualist does?What build Im gonna run?What is this class used for?Except for healing and Spirit Spamming thats the only thing I know about them...

So the question is,what role do Ritualist take?What are the common builds?How well they do in AB(im a big ABer),is it worth spending time on a Ritualist?

All I can add is that the ritualist is one of a few professions that supports their party through party wide heals (very little prot) and buffs any melee attackers via weapon spells. Some people also say that a paragon is one who supports their party but they use different mechanics and offer better prot than ritualists. ("Save Yourselves!")

ritualists do very well as support healers, single target dmg, melee buffing/support caster, and spirit spammer.

If your goal is to have fun and be efficient as well, i suggest making a warrior buffer with support or channeling magic spirit spammer.

Using a secondary monk, you can bring Offering of Spirit, Strength of Honor, Splinter Weapon, and Judges Insight to make your fellow warriors dish real big damage. You can even bring Protective was Kaoli and weapon of warding for support healing/prot.

You could also bring a rit with all damage spirits like, pain, vampirism, wanderlust, bloodsong, etc... Bring the luxon/kurzick skill that draws ur spirits so you can use them for multiple fights. This build puts out a bunch of damage and also helps by tanking damage when enemies attack the spirits rather than members of the party... which inevitably lessons pressure on your monks.
