-Tactics
Main Team
Pulls remain the same as normal manlyway. Spikers will not help the Ritualist at tower. Skip the group after tower and proceed to head to the battlefield [if you catch aggro, keep running, it'll break]. Leave any leftover bonds and impalers from the battlefield spike for the Ritualist and head over to forge. Do a 360 as normal. There are no more changes in route for the main team from here (Lightning forest, griffs quest = gg). One mesmer should be hanging back to get all quests in forge.
Tips:
-When in Lightning Forest, it helps to pop your Ebon Sin on the Spirit of Primal Echoes to speed-up clean up.
-MT may also sliver down SoPE to save time for spikers.
-Pulls and spikes should be done fast enough so that nobody needs heals. That is why there is no Healer roll (because it isn't necessary one bit).
-MT should use HoS before he step to forest wolf, In that cast you sliver then use unseen fury for fast teleport down.
-Always cast Sp before Keystone for fast re-charge.
(Big Note for mesmers: Do Not use sin support at risky areas such as forge during 360 or at start up ball)
Mt: Cast hoS during the ball of abbysals+Shadow Beasts after eternal forge clean. Cast it at enterance side, then rush to the other side and ball, finish then cast unseen to go back to start .(Also HoS can be used for way more things)
#EoE: Use Eoe in major Spots.
#mUA
-Use Ua when needed..
-Use mimic on one of the mesmers,cast keystone, symbloic and spike . ( use mimic when you see the ball is nearly done so you will be prepared)
-Use FH on Left overs or Monk targets.
-AoS all the time
*FB
-Fb everytime it get re-charged (some times you can swap with rit to take griffs and boost them up)
TF Rit solo (rasti only)
This Ritualist's job is more as a soloist versus support. After the first two spikes, you will solo tower, where Rastigan likes to live. To do this, precast your spirits when Rastigan starts to run up the hill. Take his quest when you're done precasting everything and hug the door (Literally hug it. Your character should be up against an invisible wall). The instant the door rises, take one step forward, you should be in the doorway, and hit summon spirits so your spirits wall the opening, preventing the Shadow Lord and Abyssals from reaching you. Immediately recast your spirits when they die. Use painful bond and nightmare weapon at your discretion. You may or may not need to use a summoning stone (depending on if you're going for speed or efficiency). Take the Wailing Lord quest and run past the group the main team skipped (if you catch aggro, keep running; it'll break). Kill any leftover impalers and/or bonds the main team might have left behind. Proceed to forge . Try to kill and Spirits of Primal Echoes in lightning forest to help the spikers. Finish clearing, run griffs (or swap with mesmer), and job is done.
TF Solo rit (Rasti+forest)
Proceed to the Lightning Forest. Drop spirits half-an-aggro bubble away from the first group of shepherds. Catch aggro of the shepherds, pull back a bit and cast summon spirits. Use other skills at your discretion. After the shepherds die, pop the rock worms and kill all of them. By this point, the main team should be at lightning forest to finish it up. Try to kill and Spirits of Primal Echoes to help the spikers. Finish clearing, run griffs, and job is done.
Tips:
-If Rastigan draws aggro to tower, call it and spikers should be running back.
-When trying to solo for the first time, always carry a few cupcakes and summoning stones just in case.
T1&T2
Same route! Same tactics!
During the test phase
Average times:
7min-8min forge
15min-17min mainteam (with griffons finished)
20min when covering terras
These are average times with pugs in the group as well during the "PuG-friendly" test phase.
A big thank you to...
