55hp Ritualist?
BrotherGilburt
Ok, does anyone have any ideas or builds for a 55hp ritaulist? Are there any big Aoe skills that could be used? Any good skills that give you energy fast, deal damage to all foes around you, or make other skills last longer. Stuff like that. Post build Ideas here. As I look more and more at ritualist skills I'll post my own ideas here!
Thanks

a 55 hp rit might be hard to do i think... while u are casting the bidning rituals you could get ko'ed by a lucky combo of stuff agaisnt u
BrotherGilburt
Yes indeed. Its a challenge. But some of the spirits do attack. Maybe you could use those. But it would be hard. Arena net seems to be avoiding providing more skills for solo farming!

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.

Every game is nerfed in some way or another. We call it nerfed becuase we dont like it. Really its just changed to make the game harder and more challenging. We reject that change and say something got nerfed becuase it was changed. So yes they will "nerf" Factions eventually but it will be to benifit the game, not to hurt it. As for the 55 Rt build, personally i think that is a crazy idea. ANet didnt add these new characters so you could learn how to solo with them, they added them for your enjoyment and so you could learn how to use them to beneift the TEAM. This is a multiplayer game, play with others, not just yourself.

omg nerf! lets nurf a shred of paper and say the world is nerfed! 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.

first of all, no one even knows the excellent farming place in factions. And nerfing is another thing to consider. Using a ruitulist confuses me right now...damn

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.
/disclaimer
Not that I'm condoning/damning the use of 55hp builds. I'm flat indifferent.

Here is the skill you suggested. Looks great. Has an excellent recharge time for 55 farming!
Any other good ritualist skills?(it only deals 5 dmage and lasts for 5 seconds because I have no points on ritualist)

There's one called ancestor's rage. I don't know if you can cast it on yourself. But it works really well tied in with Spirit Rift. It deals a decent amount of damage. Cast Spirit rift on nearest baddy and then cast Ancestor's Rage on youreslf (again, don't know if you can target youself.)

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....

Brother Gilburt At 12 in Restoration Magic it last for 10 seconds and steals 29 health each time.
There's one skill that does extra damage when you're holding an item. Channeled Strike I believe?
badazzreddawg
Yes, but there is alot of ppl who does not know the differance and still do it anyways. I am a farmer myself and know what its all about. People who don't know the differance is where the problems begin. Also, some people will lye just to get into a group and when we are half way through will start trying to be a 55 monk. Or necro, or memer for that matter. I didn't mean to say the idea was stupid just the people who are so stupid they wanna try to use it in missions. I have come across many people who wanna try out a new 55hp build and wanna join a group instead of henchmen and screw us all. If you cant use that character in both ways then you need to stop doing missions with it. I stand by everything I said though, with the exception that I didn't mean to make the idea of a farmer 55 stupid. If you use it for the sole purpose of farming good for you. I will stick to my warrior. If i see you in a mission area though I will be the first to open my mouth and proceed to cuss you out. Bottom line is if your %%hp keep your a** out of missions and quest. You screw it up for everyone. Like this guy is going to one time or another wanna try to take his 55hp ritualist into a mission that he thinks he can dominate in. Then he will screw it up for the rest of his group. Then he will be pissed when someone call him stupid. They will get into a argument and someone will wind up gettng reported cause one person wants to be a dumba** and try something newwhile people are needing this mission or quest. KEEP IT OUT OS THESE AREAS and i will have nothing more to say. If not and I meet you I will have something to say and you wont like it I promise you that. As always good night have fun.

There is nothing wrong with 55hp. Most people only use it for solo farming. There will be no problem if a 55hp ritualist build it made. Don't worry about it! Do I have to repeat this? No one really ever uses 55hp in missions unless there mother dropped them over and over again on there heads at age 1! Just don't worry about it. 55hp builds should not be nerfed because people are being total retards and useing them in missions. If they do tell them to go kill them self and then you should just forget the experiance because its not really a big deal. If you want to insult and talk badly about the 55hp builds make your own thread and talk about it there(if anyone ever goes to it). Everyone likes 55hp builds. Also if you see me in a mission area I'd perfer you didn't cuss at me because I do missions but never as a 55hp unless I'm soloing it for fun. I do not wish to ruin someone elses day by being a 55hp monk in a mission with a group.
Now, Anyone else have any ideas for a 55hp ritualist please continue to post them here! And please stop talking about how bad 55hp builds are on this thread because thats not what I made this for!

You might need to have restoration at 16 to use a 55hp build with ritualist though. Which doesn't really matter because you probably won't need any points on healing because you'll gain health from this skill(and take no dmage at all).

Gaile has said along the lines of "soloing a content which are meant for a party is not justified", I can't remember the exact quote/quotes but it's something along the lines of what I just mentioned.
So if you want to solo a place intended for a party, expect it to be nerfed and don't cry about it.

Well I don't think a 55 hp ritualist build with ashes would work, since the ashes would cancel out your weapon set

No matter what your intentions are here, you're blindingly insulting people without knowing the full facts; therefore, the only one looking stupid right now is yourself. In addition, I've been a 55 necro and I've been a great use. I've been a battery, low health = low sac :]. I've also been a 55monk/warrior in UW with a team, helping to get a spider. The irony behind it, I helped for free, now if I want a spider I can make a team with no 55monks and fail to get the spider. If I really want to get one, I have to pay a 55monk to help.
