55hp Ritualist?

omfg give over with naff 55hp char/builds..factions isnt even out and you are already trying to build a char to get factions nerfed Yes, pretty much

But anyways, there not going to nerf factions. They haven't nerfed the prophacies campaign (lol) because of invinca monk farming. There are so many solo builds out there that there not going to nerf them all. One more will not cause a problem.

Brother Gilburt They nerfed Prophecies because people were solo farming, which they felt was ruining the game; therefore, judging by the past, they WILL nerf factions, eventually.

I wish that they would nerf people! I swear, I dont know how many times I have to repeat this: ANet Nerfed ONE area. ONE. Not the whole game. ONE area. It's not a huge deal.

There is a spell that destroys a spirit, and then deals huge AoE damage. You could make a fort of spirits, take echo and arcane echo or glyph of renewal etc. And then pull baddies into your spirits (spirits will block them) and then you can just blow them up one at a time and deal a very large amount of damage. That isn't a 55hp build obviously, but it has potential!

Spirit Rift is also a very nice AoE spell that works like Lightning Surge. I'm sure you could combine a couple of these.

Not that I'm condoning/damning the use of 55hp builds. I'm flat indifferent. Very very good idea! Thanks for makeing this post! As soon as factions comes out I'll be sure to try this!

55 hp characters ruins the game! I can't begin to count how many times I been in missions where some idiot thought it was cool to bring a 55 monk, or necro. Then cause they didn't know didly squat bout how to use that character in the area, kept dying. Personally I thinnk A-Net should find some way to nerf these builds to make PvE gameplay better. I think it is rediculous that people are already thinking of making a 55hp ritualist. YOU ARE STUPID!!! The main reason i say this, is because you will want to bring your 55hp character into a mission and ruin it for the rest of the people in your group. Your wanting to make a build like this only decreases the pleasure of the game for other people. Like someone said earlier, " this is a multi-player game, learn to play with others not just yourself". I'm sorry if you get offended, or think I am being a A**hole but I get tired of having to do missions 20 times to get it done cause of a 55 character. Have a nice day!!! The entire point of 55 builds is to SOLO FARM, not play missions. If people are bringing 55s into missions with a group, then yes, they are stupid, but you seem to lack a fundamental understanding of the role a 55 plays. Solo farming doesn't "hurt others wishing to play as a team" because they're obviously not playing regular pve missions with PUGs when they solo, and your point about it "being an multilayer game, so play with others" is nullified by the inclusion of henchmen; in both cases your point becomes moot when you actually think about it. I also fail to see how an idiot 55 is any worse than an aggro-noob tank or crappy monk in a mission; both will get you killed just as quickly.

That said, if you get a 55 in a co-op mission, just die and kick them. Alos, If you're doing missions 20 times, well, maybe it's time to ask questions before starting the mission, re-evaluate your build or find a guild to help you. You shouldn't have to do ANY mission that many times, even with marginal PUGs.

Plenty of professions can solo farm, that doesn't hurt the game as a whole, nor does it hurt cooperative play. I think it's ridiculous that some sensationalists want every solo build nerfed, and it's always for asinine reasons too.


Edit: Over 600 hours of play on my account and never once have I come across a 55 build in a mission, so I seriously doubt it's as common as you're making it out to be.

Also sence almost every profession can 55hp farm I think its pretty fair way to farm. Its very hard to make money in the game if you don't use a solo build and 55hp is one of the best. Its fair because its not like you can solo everywhere in the world with it or solo people through a mission for huge amounts of gold! I personally enough useing the 55hp stratagy alot!

Also I don't think I'm stupid. That is how we differ badazzreddawg....
