I haven't had a chance to cap/try all the elites yet but from ones I have capped/unlocked so far and had a chance to try in PvE/PvP, my vote goes for Tranquil Was Tanasen. With 12 in Restoration it gives you 22 armor, lasts 15 sec (on 20s recharge), and you cannot be interrupted. I do 3 spirits + Tanasen + staff wrap of defense + shaman armor -> 102 armor, cannot be interrupted. Good game.

I like Soul Twisting, I think this spell has so much potential. Next favorite would have to be "Attuned was ...."

And of course Ritual Lord.

My most favorite elite would be Ritual Lord. When I first capped this skill it stayed on my skillbar to this day.

when I am not using a communing build I use Attuned was Songkai.. works great for just about everything.

Spirits are more like personified environmental effects. I have tested Spirit Channeling and I don't recall getting healed for my spirits.

You can combine it with Vengeful Weapon spam. I was thinking actually, it might be a good idea on a Warrior if taking a lot of aggro/damage from attacks.

Personally I really like Preservation, Soul Twisting, Vengeful and Ritual Lord.

All of these are really awesome.

Its funny, at first I wasn't too keen on the Elites for Ritualists... then I started using them (at least these 4). Was pleasently surprised.

I use Pain + (Shadowsong+Bloodsong) + Union + Painful Bond + Signet of Spirits Elite. Ritual Lord is great for zero spirit lapse, but I do great with the Signet energy management elite. I go from about 22 energy after all that spawning to 57-60 instantly. My henchies do a great job, and I move a lot to drag them out of the center mass of baddies.

In answer to a previous question, shaman armor is an art type I believe, meaing shaman armor provides extra armor (+5 per spirit).

soul twisting great for being able to lay down slow casting spirits like bloodsong, just start it up when you zone and youre ready to have fun keep a eye on shelter and union and combo with them and youre a nice little fort of prot.,and atacks 16 in communing and 8 in spawing

Vengeful Was Khanhei. No question. The amount of warriors and assassins that have happily murdered themselves at my feet, while I'm busy doing something else... I'm almost ashamed.
Some begin to realise at around 20-30% hp and go for the signet. That's when I rip em with Essence Strike (for about 60 dmg) and Gaze em' in the face for a further 108. The smarter ones realise straight away and run off crying :P.

Ritual Lord also rocks to, but it didn't help me earn a gladiator point so...

The prob with preservation is the spirit heals one random allies. That means it can heals a fully character than a dying one.

Personally I like Preservation, Ritual Lord, and Clamor of Souls.

Only problem I have with Preservation is that it heals the ally with the lowest health 50% of the time, which I usually accopmlish myself, which leaves my group wth one well-healed player, and 4-6 (in a heated battle) unhealed players.

I use Clamor of Souls with my W/Rt when I play a group with more than one warrior, or an assassin. Works suprisingly well when coupled with Ancestor's Rage.

Ritual Lord is great not because of its indefinant use, but because its not a stance, nor an enchantments. So your opponents have no way to stop you from using its benefits unless they kill you....which is hard when they are getting pummeled by pain, bloodsong, shadowsong, dissonance, and are hexed with painful bond :P

Spirit Channeling is my favorite at the moment as a Rest spec Rit. It's like a ether prod or a personal bip so its handy in fighting e den and a great energy management elite.
