Ritualist weapon

Sorry, but I'm really ignorant when it comes to weapons in GW... it's not quite like I'm use to from other mmorpg's. Right now I'm running with a Green Wayward Wand and a green channel focus item I got from completing Prophecies. The green wand isn't a big hitter... is there a weapon I should be working towards or something more customizable ?

The base attack from staves and wands is about nothing anyway. All of the caster damage is from spells and hexes. So what you really want to look for is a weapon set (wand + offhand, or stave) that gives the bonuses that will help your gameplay.
I run (mo primary) with staves personally and all of my caster heroes have them as well. Some people like the wand + offhand for different recharge times, etc...but the staff best suits my play style, and I like the staves my hereos use so I stuck with it.

Hope this helps.

I use a spear with + 5 energy and +30 health for the main hand . .req does not matter.

I use a +1 channeling +30 health or +1 communing +30 health for my offhand

I use these mods 99.9% of the time.

So forget the actual weapon damage, but watch the stats... that said, my off hand is a deldrimor channel focus that has +12 energy and +30 health. My wand is +5 energy... not great, but the two together seem decent I guess. Thanks

Those mods are maximum, actually. Any other weapons you get from here on out are either for prettiness, or different requirements, or other mod types.
