I love the change and it works great! But it feels a little OP. Now I'm not complaining, and understand this is bottom priority, but does anyone else agree with this:

It should be made an enchantment to give the enemies a chance to kill the Rit and his damage batteries.

It should be changed to:

(Same energy, cast, and recharge)

Enchantment Spell: For 10...35 seconds, all Binding Rituals you control have 50% base damage reduction and are immune to critical hits. (Attb:communing).

That way you dont have to re-cast it and wait for it to recharge in case you click the wrong skill and cast it.

Comments/ideas?

The current armor of unfeeling finally makes spirits less squishy ( meaning not dying in 2 hits from any HM monster).
Because its a skill and unstrippable, it is balanced considering its recharge time.
Leave it alone, it is fine as it is now.

It's fine, makes spirit spam even more viable. It's not like it's an overpowered skill.

It's PvE only (version). It's supposed to be overpowered.

Does anyone else agree that it is annoying you have to re-cast for every spirit you summon though?

It works perfectly as-is. Why change something that does exactly what it should and nothing else?

If you consider that OP, then why aren't you screaming bloody murder about SF, ER, and dervishes sucking?

Enchantment BAD. I don't want a removable enchantment spell. Having it as a skill is just fine for me.

This change would actually make the skill even more powerful than it already is.

Oh for the sakes of the rits, leave it as it is. Changing it will either make it op or weak.

Fine as it is. No enemies use it anyway, so what's to complain about?

Prior to the farming build being released, nobody... and I mean NOBODY used this skill. I'd never even heard of it and had to look it up. Clearly it isn't overpowered. It is an incredibly slow farm, and will never be as effective as other ones due to the long set up time. Monsters just need smarter AI and to attack the spirit spammer, not for a weak skill to get nerfed.

Your change would make it even more OPed, esp in places w/o enchant removal.

No matter how many different monstes you can kill solo, if it is slow, it is fine.

The BAD ones are the SPEED CLEAR farmings.

As always, Mithran is entirely right.

The skill is not overpowered, since it is very difficult to make even insane single target damage too useful. More useful that the damage reduction is the ability to go through Prots (and Kappa Shell... seriously) with the lifesteal.

Spirit Tower devotes an entire bar to its skills to be useful. This is fine.
