Ritual Lord: The Ultimate PvE and PvP Power

This is how I see Displacement. It does die pretty quick. A lot of that is due to the bug on it that people have found (takes 60 damage no matter what your attributes are at). The thing about it is that a spirit Ritualist is expected to be as fast as the team. Because of the long cast times for the spirits, a lot of teams are not comfortable taking a spirit Ritualist all the time. A group runs in and aggros a whole large group before you've had time to set up all your spirits. You put up Displacement while they run in, keeping them from taking any damage aside from some spells. While this is happening, you have time at least to put up Shelter then Union to be your major damage reduction. With Ritual Lord around, Displacement will likely recharge in the middle of battle giving your monk some breathing time. I see Displacement not as a major damage reduction spirit. Shelter and Union are your major way to keep damage off the team. Displacement is there as a buffer for you to get your spirits up, it helps to kind of shave off the time it takes to cast Shelter. Ritual Lord and Displacement are how you keep up with a fast team.

As for using Signet of Creation on Displacement. Sure it will help, but it dies so fast, I wouldn't really bother with trying to heal it.
Really Displacement (Like a very large chunk on ritualist skills) depends on smart use.

at the moment, it lasts at best 5 hits because of the bug with its HP, however assuming the bug is fixed, lets say it lasts 10 uses.

Standard Situation: Two tanks are up front tanking a large group of Enemys, Suddenly for any random reason the aggro is broken, and half a dozen melee mobs spread into the nice soft caster lines.

until the aggro is gathered again, half or more of the squishys could be taking some nasty damage, this is a monks (Or Restoration Rits) nightmare.

If Displacement lasts for 10 Hits, it might only last for 4 or 5 seconds (as any smart team will be kiting and re-gathering the tanks aggro) this takes pressure off the monks (especially if they are kiting themselves)


TBH, Displacement is much more of a PvP skill


As a team will almost never have more than two melee units, displacement spamming ritualists can stop a third or more of they're attacks from hitting, seriosuly slowing down adrenaline gain, and messing up adrenaline spikes.

Still, i would find Soothing more useful for this purpose, especcially combined with shelter (shelter+soothing= Laugh at warriors)

on topic of a spirit spammer, which do you think would be a best primary weapon/weapon set:

1) 20/20 staff w/ enchantments 20% and +5 energy
2) +5 energy sword w/ enchantments 20% w/ 20/20 focus
3) 20 HSR/+5^50 wand w/ 20/20 focus


*the 20/5 wand would be either the end game wand (for communing) or the Vengeance Seeker - both greens I would use none of those.

20/20 affects very few skills. Binding Rituals are not spells. The non-spirit skills that I carry don't have really any problems in terms of cast time or recharge time as it is. They don't get the benefit from 20/20.

Enchanting mod isn't that necessary, since Boon lasts a good 15 or so more than the recharge time already.

I actually got myself the +5 armor +45 health while enchanted focus. Since you're under an enchantment all the time, at least it's in effect and maybe protects you somewhat from some random warrior that decides that you should be killed.

Yeah Im using a spirit binder, for now. I plan to get the bonus armor and health stuff ASAP, and then 2x 20/20 restoration on the switch... for good old FOMF. Its fun popping someone back up in 1.25 seconds... even if it only happens 4% of the time.

For Sprit Spamming i tend to use:

Set One:
+5 Energy Katana
20% Enchant
Set Two
+5 Energy Katana
+5AL

Both with the +5AL,+45 hp Enchanted Offhand

When doing general Spamming, i use the +5AL Katana, and when Recasting boon i quickly Switch to my Enchant Katana


When using the +10AL set thats:

85 Base (assuming 3 spirits up)
95 With Weapon Set
and then -10 Damage reduction if using unfeeling armour

Hmm, I'll need to try out those item combos, Tainek.

Although, +5e Katanas and the 5/45 foci aren't very cheap to make... ehh, the katana, no.. it costs what 10k + materials + a trip to the end game

but the 5/45 offhand is really cheap and easy

5 Stone Horns, talk to Jonn Tertehl in Morostav Trail right outside of Vasburg Armory.


if you dont have the patience to get the horns then just run around the towns and offer 100g each, im sure youll get them within a short time

hit the nail on the head there, collectors the way to go

and its 10K , 40 iron, and 6 steel for the Katana


10K 50 Iron, 10 Wood, 5 Steel if you prefer Axe's

Also, what is so special about the skill Generous Was Tsungrai? It seems everyone loves this, and I do understand that it is a big self heal, but you basically have to wait a minute for the self heal. How is that effective when you really need to self heal? Tsungrai recharges every 15 seconds (faster if u use the right staff or wand/offhand combo). Just cast another item spell, which makes you drop Tsungrai, for a huge heal. If it's recharged, you can recast for the heal. You can also click on the "Drop Item" button for the heal.
