I almost have enough to buy this sexy armor (Need 42 more Amber and some more money for Black Dye).
However, I'm not sure about what type of Armor to purchase.
I was thinking Halycon (+7 Energy) or Mystics (+15AL while using Skills)
Any ideas?
What's the best Ritualist Armor?

I usually go with the +energy stuff.

If you were planning on getting multiple sets, then I'd say go for the +armor sets. But if this is going to be a 'use most of the time' set.... Then I'd go with +energy.

Shaman. You need spirits with Channeling, you need spirits with Restoration, you need spirits with Commune. PvE, PvP, it doesn't matter- Rts do spirits. I use Shaman chest/legs, and nrg hands, feet. I think it's the best combo. Having 75 armor while controlling 3 spirits is a blessing versus 60.

I use Harbringer's which is useful in any build because I don't have enough space to carry multiple armor sets. Can never have too much hp. 
I was considering the + energy set as well, but I found that max energy doesn't really matter when you have energy management.

And Ritualists don't have much non-Elite energy management except Boon of Creation. Yes, this is a "use all" set since I can't afford two sets of that Armor. Hehe.

Shaman's isn't global?

I think that a stable Rt build revolves around spirits. It doesn't really matter what attribute you pull them from. Like with my Channelling build I use either proto or dam Commune spirits or Recup/Life from Restoration. So... I think it's fair to have chest/legs Sham. 5-15 armor does make a huge difference. I like high armor on a softie, why I been using Tranquil Was Tanasen, too.
My biggest concern is what headpiece to pick. I think Spawning and Channeling are my picks.

Got the Halycon after all, and the Energy helps. I stay out of Combat most of the time (PvE/Alliance), so Armor isn't THAT beneficial...
In the meantime...

Just a quick note, if you are a spirit caster remember they are NOT a skill. If you get armor +X while using skills it will not count if you are raising spirits, only spells.

I don't think you are quite right on this. A binding ritual is not a spell, but it is a skill (like any of the 8 skills you bring on your skill bar). (One sidenote about this is you will not get fast cast/fast recharge from your weapon or from a mesmer's fast casting that only affects spells). So the Mystic armor should work when you are casting a binding ritual as well.

Ah yes Ump indeed you are correct. My bad! Was thinkin a little backwards.

. Officialy the best looking armour in the game IMO. I'm At 50 amber, but I friggin' hate the grind with an un-godly passion.
