I've been building my rit up again, taking my overall inventory and cutting it in half, allowing me to pull him off of mule duty haha, and well.. I'm wondering what you guys like to run. I mean, I can only assume the mainstream wiki stuff is somewhat popular, but do any of you have some cool custom tricks out there?

I believe there is a forum sticky about not posting for builds, you gotta submit something of an idea of what you want to run, like PvE/AB/RA/TA/GvG/HA/HB theres a lot of options you need to be more specific.

I was running this build lately and it worked pretty well basicly everywhere.

But I got bored and changed it to this:

[build prof=Ri/P Spa=12+2 Cha=5+1 Res=4+1 Spe=11][Barbed Spear][Holy Spear][Spear of Lightning][Finish Him][Weapon of Aggression][Spirits Strength][Mend Body and Soul][Flesh of my Flesh][/build]

It is not as effective but it is really a fun to run.

I pretty much don't touch my guy anyone. He has cooties so I stay away. But the last thing I ran was:
[build=OAKjYxiM5QySeTcG/Gehri0GbGA]

I vanquished a few areas with it, then got bored of the guy again.
Pretty outfits will only get you so far.

Looks a little messed up I know but the sad fact is that rits really don't have that many good skills. So I load up on pve skills instead

It works

This is what I have been running, but I am new to build making.

[Spirit Rift][Spirit Burn][Essence Strike][Offering of Spirit][Weapon of Warding][Resilient Weapon][Life][Flesh of my Flesh]

Maxed out Restoration and Channeling.

I suck at healing so Weapon of Warding and Resilient weapon let me heal and move on. And with my attacks, I do spirit rift, then spike with Spirit Burn and Essence Strike, then rift goes off doing considerable compound spike damage.

Whatever I feel like. The thing that everyone seems to forget is though we do not excell at any specific thing, we can do pretty much anything with the right skill setup. I run MM, Ele, Sin, Para, Derv etc. I can do almost anything with my rit.

Innovation is overrated.
But then again, OoB still sacrifices, at least with OoS you probably won't have to, because, being a Ritu, you'll probably have at least ONE Spirit.

I used to run this in PvE:

[[email protected]][Essence [email protected]][Spirit [email protected]][Spirit [email protected]][Gaze from [email protected]][Offering of [email protected]][[email protected]][Summon Spirits (Luxon)@12]

And, currently in RA, I'm running a quite fun build I developed on my own:

[
[email protected]][Essence [email protected]][Spirit [email protected]][Arcane Echo][Offering of [email protected]][Spirit [email protected]][Mend Body and [email protected]][Death Pact Signet (PvP)@13]

It's quite alot of fun, spamming Spirit Rifts ^^.

Apart from OoB, he(?) isn't really using his attributes for anything other than Channeling, so there's no real point to saving the attribute points either way - they'd just be going into making Splinter Weapon last that little bit longer through Spawning Power or going into FOMF via Restoration to make the target come back with more energy.

Er... semi-retired, but that's only because I don't have much I want to do. I should run some unexplored dungeons, in which case it'll either be Rt/N resto/curses enfeebling blood+necrosis or Rt/Mo empathic removal resto/prot.

(thinking out loud from here on)

That's assuming of course I don't go all weird and bust out a bow again or something, y'never know. I could try BHA splinter-volley. Hey, I could try soul twisting edge of extinction and bring symbiosis along for the ride again, that worked out ok before with a minion bomber hero. Except I didn't use soul twisting of course, but ranger spirits are a fun change and they work with MB&S and stuff. Could try an elite ranger spirit - no one else will, after all Ooh, maybe lacerate and toxicity and one of my necro heroes with minion bombs (poison) and shamblers (bleeding) and another with Ulcerous Lungs (extra degen to bleeders), guess I won't need toxicity after all with all that degen... eh, whatever, as long as it amuses me for an evening I don't care what I run

I still haven't settled on any sort of build for my Rt/N...though I haven't leveled her up to 20 yet, either. Right now she's sort of a hybrid minion bomber/party support buffer, though I doubt it'll stay that way.

All I run in RA now. For AB, replace res signet with another melee support/heal/damage spell of your choice. A hex/condition removal works nice. The beauty of this bar is that you can act as a primary healer [though not the most effective one] or as a support character in case there's a healer in your group, very versatile.

I haven't done PVE in so long as a ritualist, but I usually run some gimmicky spirit's strength/spirit spam build.

PvE i usually just run the typical Ancestor's/Splinter build. Sometimes i run a Signet of Ghostly Might spirit build, which has very good damage but you still have to drag the spirits around.

Muhah.. I felt like doing something.. hmm.. how would I put this.. not-another-[Assassin's Promise]-[You move like a dwarf!]-build.. Well I wanted to do Oola's Lab HM for the eotn-title and I just couldn't start doing it (added heroes+henchies, left Rata Sum and shut down the game.. did this at least 4 times before actually doing it a few weeks later).
Then I decided "I want to be a mighty warrior with a sword, swinging in every direction like all those really big and muscular, sweat shining on their body".. err.. I just leave it at "real warriors"...

[i has a sword :3;OAGSQ5KT9F7gCGfacFxgZFyi]

60dp, but at least I had fun for a change and actually finished the dungeon ^^

And yes I know there could be so many other skills that 'do better' or to make SY! either last longer or be able to shout it more often but meh, it's just pve and having fun ^^

I was using some convoluted 'support' build when I realized "Who am I kidding? I'm a Rit!". So, I got rid of that thankless build and went back to shameless spamming:

Boon of Creation - I don't even really need this one. I bring it just in case all the same
Pain
Bloodsong
Vampirism
Signet of Ghostly Might
Painful Bond
Summon Spirits - Luxon, my build tab has to look as good as my char
Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support - partly because it gives me bonuses from Boon but mostly because it's such an unfair skill

Everything dies so fast with this build.

General PvE skirmish:
AP PvE skill abusing + Channeling (sometimes @16 Spawning with 3 enchs)
Spirit's Strength with Daggers/Spear
3 Spirits + Signet of Ghostly Might + Summon Spirits + Fragility + CoP + Res
Attuned Was Songkai healer or Rt/N Minion Bomber in some really rare scenes

Cryer
Splinter Barrage + EoE

I think there is about everything I mainly run these days.. If I don't get the idea to play with a full warrior bar again..
Edit: Me wants also, here's some pink kurz with low hp and unbeatable pve skillbar to go :3

Sometimes works, but anytime there's an enemy with AoE, the spirits usually end up dead.

Finally got my Rit to level 20 yesterday, and decided screw this support/restoration/wannabe Necro crap (I can't stand playing as a Necro in any form)...I'm just gonna spam spirits.

OACjAqiLpSeTLTKT+glTfTnNOTA

I really need to get Summon Spirits. Right now though I tend to spread my spirits out a bit when casting them so they don't get taken out by an AoE spell - ideally they end up in a half-circle surrounding the mobs. Once they're set they usually do all the work.

I just really hate being interrupted :P

Oh that is awesome.

I'll have to go and cap that eventually (trying to force myself to run through Vizunah Square today). Even though speccing into Restoration just for that feels like a bit of a waste...

Thankfully since I generally try to set up spirits before actually picking a fight it's not a huge concern, but doing Consulate Docks and getting bombarded was a wee bit annoying :P
