This seems rather straightforword to me but I have some questions anyway.

This build is just for fun. Summon spirits to damage and help the team!

Im getting tired of channeling so I thought I would do something new.

16. Communing
13 spawn

Bloodsong
Pain
Shadowsong

Now I know that these three are needed but I have no idea what the rest of the build is.

You can try adding Doom in there, and maybe some Spawning Magic-based healing spells.

Ritual Lord as elite. Always nice for a spirit heavy build such as this.

I use:

1. Doom
2. Bloodsong
3. Shadowsong
4. Pain
5. Union
6. Painful Bond
7. Boon of Creation
8. Ritual Lord (E)

With a ritualist wand
(20% recharge and 20% castingspeed for communing spells)
And a straw thingie
(20% recharge and +30 hp)

communing 13 (+2 rune)
channeling 7 (+1 rune)
spawning 15 (+3 rune)
(not sure if i got the numbers right)

This build does have 2 problems, spirits recharge so fast that Doom doesn't do much damage. (its too bad you can have only 1 of each spirit, otherwise you could spam em around the place
Most of the time spirits target different enemies so painful bond isn't as destructive as it can be.
If all spirits target the same foe his hp drops really fast.
(can you force spirits to atack 1 target?)

I havn't really experienced energy problems, just keep boon of ceation up all the time.
If you run low on energy cast pain, you'll end up with more energy then when you started casting.

Pick Me and ArisB, your guys' builds don't have any resurrection spells in them. If it was intentional and was meant as examples of other spirits to use then ok, nevermind. Just thought I'd mention that.

For PvE, I sometimes take Restoration and Feast of Souls. In PvP, I bring Mantra of Concentration (or Resolve). I also like Soothing for PvP.

The One Casey Squid listed only 3 spirits, so I listed a few more. My list was not a build, but just other spirit skills to use inconjunction with the ones already listed.

Of course I always bring a rez skill, that is a must (everyone should, unless they solo).
