It seems to me that spirit spamming is going to become the norm for almost all farming, i started messing about with my ritualist and it's great fun but i have noticed more and more there seems to be a boom in ritualist's being made :P
So far though i have not really found any place that is not farmable with my rit? or a couple of spirit spammers...
UW R/RT or RT/R solo build

no, I'm kidding, I'm sure there are some zones. What just comes to mind: I doubt you can solo-farm RoT, Slavers, or Vloxen with this, just because of mob size and heavy enemy rez, but I cant say for sure because I havent tried. (Havent bothered taking mine through the desolation or very far into eotn yet.) but just about everywhere else, as far as I know, is spiritfood.
schmoky
is this way of farming still possible in uw ?

Sorry for bringing this topic up, but I have a question.
I don't have Nighfall so I can't get Vampirism.. (I only have factions & EOTN)
What skill should be able to replace it? Thnx in advance

your best bet would probably be Gaze of Fury (crap, nightfall skill)
uhm..
then I'd go with destruction, then, put your spirits up like this.
|------------------------------|
|_________enemy__________|
|____Bloodsong__( Vampirism )_|
|________Destruction_________|
|___________________________|
|___________________________|
|___________________________|
|____Signet of Spirits Pain______|
|________Shadowsong_________|
|-------------------------------|
then hope the don't go for the destruction spirit, as its dmg decreases if it gets killed early (it gotta die for the damage to take place, but still try to delay that moment)
however, without vampirism you lose your self heal (don't overlook this, it can easily net you a +8-9 regen) and a attack that triggers painful bond less.
you could also go with agony, but that spirit just sucks.
what you also could do is go with binding chains
cast it on one of the foes (an Aatxe) so that one is snared (slowed down) by doing so, he stays back while the other aatxe will move at your spirits @ 100% speed, so all spirits will target him (because the other one isn't in your aggro yet) then your spirits kill 1 aatxe, after which the 2nd comes which your spirits can kill (even without vampirism)
Fedetic
Ok thnks! 
I'll try with destruction spirit and/or binding chains 
(Really need to buy NF, maybe I'll buy it together with GotY)

I wanna try this build (I've never really done much high end farming), but i don't have EotN, which means no Spiritleech Aura, is that a detrimental part to the build? Is there something that can replace it? thanks
MisterB
Spiritleech Aura helps you kill the smites, but you can kill them without it.
edit: Jan. 28 update buffed Reversal of Fortune to work against life steal. That's going to slow this build versus the Smites somewhat.

I was wondering what works the best for clearing all of UW. I know that I'll be using SoS, AoU, SLA, Bloodsong, Vamp and Shadowsong but I'm not sure what to use for the other 2 slots. I'm planning on doing this with my rit so what kinds of runes/insignias should I use so that Energy won't be a problem at all. The choices I was thinking for the 2 open slots were: BoC, Spirit Light, SS, Painful Bond and Pain.
Can anyone help me out?

I can't seem to kill the ataxxes in the chamber in NM! my spirits just die and i can't place new ones because of the recharge. I'm currently running E/Rt is this fine? got all the attributes in line with the pvx build etc just can't seem to kill them before spirits die
Any tips? cheers.

Shadowsong should keep one blinded, and if it's at the back, the first should die before your spirits die. Have you checked your attributes are correct and are in NM? Also make sure you don't aggro more than one aatxe group at a time.
Orange Milk
I dropped Spirit Leach Aura, it's the only resto skill, by doing that I could use the points more effectivly in Communing/Channeling.
As Long as you maintain Armor of Unfelling the spirits are fine in NM.
With the freed up spot I added Disenchantment. Difficult on Energy (High energy set anyone?) so I don't use it everytime but VERY useful in killing the smites, they go down ALOT quicker because Divine Intervention and Sheild of Judgement get removed.
tbh, I have more fun doing this Duo, you can take more stuff like, like wonderlust, earthbind, agony and anguish. Anguish + Painful Bond is real nice like.

I haven't tried it but replacing Spirit Leech Aura with Spirit Boon Strike seems reasonable now since the new update. I'm not sure if i should change Painful Bond with Lamentation though.
Yellow D. Flash
does this still work for uw?
Marty Silverblade
Yes. SoS is a bit weaker, but it doesn't change the functionality of the farm at all.
FyrFytr998
Has anyone tried Smites recently? I went to the wastes and found it damn near impossible since they changed the functionality of some of their Protection spells to also counter life stealing.
Am I missing something other than running it duo with the Disenchantment spirit?
Mind you, this is just an FYI question, I already know the plains is the best bet for riches.
Another question, I run an UA hero which I keep off compass in case of a snafu. As long as it's off my compass it shouldn't affect my drops right?

To get to planes do you fight your way there againts the obsidian behemoth or you have to run?
Wouldn't this be extremely good with a r/n toucher and a rt/r or r/rt spirit spammer?

I've cleared the Ice Wastes a few times with my SoS Rit in the last few days. Its slow and I'm beginning to think not really worth the time taken, but dealing with the smites is not a problem. I set up my 6 spirits, pull the smites with a longbow (trying to pull no more than 3 at a time), hit Armor of Unfeeling & Spiritleech Aura then back off. Then I use Summon Spirits, AoU, SLA, back off, Summon Spirits and so on until half the spirits are gone. Then its time to make a new wall of spirits.

ok thanks guys
i cleared most of wastes

Love the build, been trying it out with my primary rit in all kinds of areas, there's just one problem I've run into.
Sometimes it will just be impossible to pull the enemies safely if they have the high ground advantage and a skill that will destroy you if they get a single hit off on you. Also, enemies with high ground can attack the spirits without getting close enough for the spirits to fight back.
I guess you could work in a defensive skill using restoration magic to make it easier to survive taking a hit when pulling.
The alternative is to just lay your spirits as close as you dare and hope the enemies wander into them, or if it's a mixed group of enemies wait until they wander around such that the enemies that are the bigger threat are in the back of the group and not close enough to hit you when you pull.

ok so i have spirit spammer now but since the update im los at what skills we should use. can someone give me a list or something so i can be up to date?
Marty Silverblade
For solo farming, there hasn't really been a change since the spirits were originally buffed. For general use, things such as Soul Twisting and Ritual Lord are viable.
Snorph
I have problems killing any Ele npc, like Terrorwebs. Any tips killing them?
Marty Silverblade
I found Terrorwebs generally a bit fiddly. Spread your spirits out. Try and get them to MS you and then run back past your spirits. That way they'll at least have a chance at surviving. Sometimes they'll kill all your spirits before any of them die, but spirit recharges are decent enough that you can recast before they heal up.
Snorph
Ya i'll try that. Thanks...
