I've been mocking around with my rit for about 2 years now (most enjoyable!), and I hunger for some challenge/prestige for my rit. I thought I would try DoA, but I don't see how I should be able to find a party.
I am not directly asking for a build, I'm rather asking for guidance to how I get into more parties. I've tried Weapon Support (splinter and warmongers), but I still dont seem to get in alot (it happens rarely..).
Aren't all pugs FOC+Cryway variants? You're kinda stuck there.
As for a balanced team, the spirit buffs are very handy. It's absolutely hilarious what they do to mallyx, so people should be more willing to get you that far.
Getting a PUG for anything is just an invitation for drama and failure. Doing it on a Rit is very possible if done with a group that can coordinate for synergy.
The last few DoA related z-bounties my guild managed to get done with a rit spike healer, and a spirit spammer (both have been very effectively buffed /w the new skill updates), and me with a defensive anthem motigon. The rest were heroes.
I run ritway for quick clears of NM DoA with my guild a lot. By far the easiest way to do DoA. 4 spirit-spammers/healer/channels, 1-2 MM, 2 scythes. Works really well, better than the DoA Heroway on PvX anyways (no cons needed)
