SoS Build with rt as secondary?
Tolmos
My primary is currently an elementalist. I really wanted to be able to keep playing this character but was trying to give an SoS rt a try. That being the case, I was curious whether an SoS build using E/Rt would work as well as a pure SoS rt/*.

it does indeed, the onlly thing that changes is the armor/health for the spirits, and some damage due to runes(with cons its no diffrence)
heck ive done UW double Spiritspammer with my warrior a few times, it worked good actually (the other rit was /N with blood ritual..)
and with your high energy, you can spam the "better" but higher costing ones, as disenchant,Argony, etc

I have seen many hidden spirit spammers like this so I guess it works on any class. Rangers, Assassins, Elementalists, Warriors, Mesmers, Necromancers and Monks are the ones I seen.
Personally I find it rediculous that people lower themselves to this play style but it's their choice, I from my end choose not to party with people who feel the need to spam spirits with a different class then a Ritualist.

Sure it works, but Rt/x will do a FAR better job at it that x/Rt.
Also, every proffesion has more interesting/fun builds to play than SoS, why would you want to spirit spam on a non-ritualist?

It's not even that powerful.. Only heroes should run it imo.
Lots of stronger builds for you as a human player.

(so keep that ele primary build handy)
Every cookie cutter build is popular precisely because it's easy and effective.
The argument against running SoS on a /Rt, on the basis of grouping and pugging, is invalid because there's nothing that dictates you must play with these people when you run this build.
It doesn't work as well with /Rt as it does with Rt/ but it does still work stupendously well.

I like playing R/Rt for easy switching between splinter/barrage and SoS. I don't use the standard pvx spirit farm build but play my own two-man R/Rt build with pyre because I like him so :-P
It can be fun to change up and try different styles and different builds. One of my fav things about GW is trying different builds.
Right now I'm working on trying an 8-skill chain for a one hit wonder ranger build. Yes. barrage is the last skill in the chain. Seven buffs followed by barrage. Others before me have probably already tried it and it'll probably end up sucking but it's fun to see if I can come up with my own way to take out an entire mob in "one" shot.
So if you like playing SoS as an Any/Rt, there's nothing stopping you. You can roll through most of the game right now that way. And if that's what you like, do it. People seem to forget but It's a game after all.

Yes, but most times you'll be better off playing something your primary profession should be doing, not trying to be a clone of another. Granted, SoS is overpowered enough that it doesn't make a difference (you'll still roll over everything), but the difficulty of playing it doesn't make it better than other builds.

The general criticism of builds that abounds is that if it's easy to run then it's bad. By that logic, in order to be a "good" build it must be difficult to play. I'm not sure why making things harder for yourself constitutes a good idea.
Please don't say "because it takes skill to run it well" because there's absolutely nothing in PvE that takes any semblance of skill to accomplish, unless you quantify mashing buttons in a particular order as "skill", in which case a retarded & dyslexic primate could play the game & be considered a skilled player.

Sometimes, not most of the time, and that sometimes only applies when you're grouping with other people.
