Anyone loosing faith in their class?

Hiya i have played a Rit almost 2 years and love to play a healer in Ra and AB.

With all the recent skill changed i find it hard to heal in Ra anymore especially after what the did to Weapon of Warding.

With monks Running Word of Healing and also the new Peace and Harmony i just can't seem to keep up anymore.

I understand that ritualists were meant to be support healers and not over-shadow monks, but i thought that energy cost and the fact that weapon spells can not stack was fair enough in the first place.

I know i could just change the type of Rit i play but channelings damage seems to be not very good anymore and also if i ran a spirit spam build you get hurled with abuse or so i have witnessed. ( I have yet to run one in pvp)

Anyone else feel the same as me with the new updates?

Thanks. The nerf to Weapon of Warding wasn't actually that bad, it only comes off if they attack something with a generic attack, or skill. Meaning can't use it on front-liners. Still something to sad face about, I guess.

But, I still heal in AB, it goes like this. It's actually kind of fun since Spirit Light and Nightmare weapon give a few moments to heal someone else, or hands free healing.

Restoration 15, Channeling 14, Spawning 3.

Spirit Light Weapon, Weapon of Warding, Nightmare Weapon, Mend Body and Soul, Spirit Light, Bloodsong, Life, Protective was Kaolai.

Gear is full Ghost Forge Insignia's (I think. Whichever gives +15 armor while wielding a weapon.) Has about 500 health, and 47 energy.

QQ you are not a ritualist. you're a guild wars player. if you want to stay competitive run the best classes and builds. if you want to have fun playing your favorite class stick to pve.

Once upon a time every class was welcome anywhere, I'm sick and tired of the Pvp meta and every single person running exactly the same build.

In PvP, everyone is always going for what they believe is the "best" build and will play that build cuz they want to win.

It's true now and true forever. Other than the bar, there is no really big differing factor from one toon to another. Even the weapons aren't anything close to what you would see in other games like WoW.

2 skills:
splinter weapon
barrage
gogogo AB capping
rit is not dead, its just a bit harder
i love rits in PvE for healing and i am glad to get one in RA for healing.
and i like barrage for Ab with my PvP rit. seriously, if i wanted to use a bow i would play a ranger.

Seriously....why run a rit primary waste when u can go with r/rt?

classes that are currently sub par:
all the non core classes, imbagon and perma sin excluded. >implying that perma sin is the only good Assassin build.

First of all, permanent shadow form assassin sucks. It's a tank, and thus not contributing to the party.

Secondly, Critical Scythe, Critical Barrage, and Death Chain would like to say hi.

all the other builds you posted are easily shadowed by builds from a core class. for example:
W/D WE Scythe>Critical Scythe
R/Rt Splinter Barrage>Critical Barrage

yes they do use skills from non core classes, but these skills are better on core classes than on their own, which is just sad...

First of all, permanent shadow form assassin sucks. It's a tank, and thus not contributing to the party. Whether you like it or not. SF and MB/DB is the only reason people still use sins. Sure you'll have a few misfits here and there who'll tinker with other builds but as experience suggests, these people are few and far between in an organized PvE party. Lets not forget that not too long ago before the SF buff that NO ONE wanted or needed a Sin in a party. You can flame the build and how much it sucks and how tanking is bad, (we know this) but the reality is it puts Sins on the map.
