Just for laughs. I've screwed with things like this before though so odd builds are nothing new to me. Go Go Ritualist SY Spammers!



Rt/W (Channeling 12+1+1, Spawning 9+1, Axe 9 or 12+1+1 Channeling, 3+1 Spawning and 12 Axe for more damage)
1. Weapon of Fury (Elite)
2. Cyclone Axe
3. Whirlwind Attack
4. Save Yourselves!
5. Sight Beyond Sight
6. Flurry (Frenzy is usable too)
7. Great Dwarf Armor
8. Unused (Ancestors Rage for fun)

Step 1. Keep up Weapon of Fury (And Great Dwarf Armor because you're a Front Liner)
Step 2. Equip your Zealous Axe (Or Furious if you want) and Use Flurry
Step 3. Spam Cyclone Axe and Whirlwind Attack
Step 4. Spam Save Yourselves! Every 4 Adrenaline.
Step 5. Use Sight Beyond Sight when needed
Step 6. Use whatever else you want when needed, throw in some more Adrenaline based attacks if you want like Dismember or Interrupts. For even more laughs make a Hero run Weapon of Fury, Micro It and then use Earth Shaker. Lolololol.

Love the idea, have yet to test it because my rit doesnt have great dwarf armor yet. Im also going to try using FGJ in the last slot in hopes it will just make the spam easier, have you tried that yet? thanks for posting this

Weapon of Fury will grant +47% adrenaline at 14 Channeling. Iirc +adr% is capped at +100% so FGJ won't provide its full benefit. Perhaps try it instead of ARage (I'd estimate that ARage would be more useful).

Haha. I was experimenting with this more last night, you don't actually need Great Dwarf Armor, it is a filler PvE skill. You could use any Armor Increasing Skill, I Am Unstoppable could work but really it doesn't matter.

The base is Weapon of Fury + SY!

I was fooling around with my Ritualist and the build that I ended up using was exactly the same in Gear and Attributes but I used a different Skill Build.

OAGjQOisETVbRFKF7gKbxgYFsiA

1. Weapon of Fury
2. Dismember
3. Cyclone Axe
4. Whirlwind Attack
5. Sight Beyond Sight (Or whatever you want, I had Spirit Rift here for a while with 2 other Rit Heroes in my team having Spirit Rift I was balling things up and spiking the hell out of everything).
6. Flurry (Or Frenzy)
7. Save Yourselves!
8. Your Choice, Great Dwarf Armor, I Am Unstoppable, EVAS, Wards, etc.

This works really well with an Earth Shaker Hero due to Weapon of Fury being maintainable on both the ES Hero and yourself. I replace my SoGM with this on my warrior and was playing around with Earth Shaker and it was a lot of fun, I don't think it's worth losing splinter on a Warrior though.

Oh come on, at least do this properly. If you want to take SY you might as well do damage.

10+1 Spawning, 9+1+1/2 Channeling, 10 Axe Mastery, 8 Tactics
Cyclone Axe, Whirlwind Attack, Penetrating Chop, Thrill of Victory, Weapon of Aggression, For Great Justice, Spirit's Strength, Save Yourselves.

Probably need a Zealous Axe. 10 Axe Mastery is there as a buffer against weakness. Not liable to get 100% SY uptime, but at least you do some damage. Take Dark Fury and/or Balthazar's Spirit and you'll do fine though.

Edit:
Oh it's very tempting to push for 9 tactics if you're not afraid of weakness.

Edit 2: Yes, I did mean Weapon of Aggression over Weapon of Fury.

Pfft, who want's Damage. My 3 Mesmers and Dual-RoJ's take care of that. Lol. There's so many possible variants for every single build that you can either do more damage, do less damage, prevent damage or do nothing at all.

Casters have an advantage somewhat in PvE, since their spells can often hit multiple foes and this at times gets a little silly, but their isn't much a support structure to pump their damage whereas there is for physicals.
And since the player has access to some of the more ridiculous damage options, it seems silly not pushing for it.

(Auspicious Parry + Save yourself, or the lazy) so could you add Vocal Was Sogolon to that or is not worth it?
