Hex, Rits best friend
The problem with Rits when in comparison with Monk is the inability to remove hex. This make Rit very uncompetitive to their counterparts Monks. I read a comment saying that Isaiah said hex removal is only for Monk and Mesmer. It's totally waste of secondary profession to be a Monk just to be competitive against hexes especially in RA since that's the only class that has the skills to remove hexes conveniently.

So I've been thinking about this, how to make Rit competitive with Monk in respect to hexes. I'm not asking for Anet to implement hex removal skills for Rit class but to make something out of hexes with their available skills. If hex is a pest to Monks then to Rits, it is beneficial to them. One skill has already beneficial trait if target has hexes on them, Resilient Weapon. Why not incorporate to other available skills as well, such as Vengeful Weapon "....if target ally under hex, steal additional health....".

The hex beneficial effect are not just tied up to Restoration line, it could be incorporated to other Rit line as well or even and added effect of binding rituals. However, the beneficial effect should not be overpowering the hex and rendering them useless. It just has mild yet useful effect to Rits and their allies. Also, the beneficial effect are tied up to target allies and not the foes.

It is just an idea of mine and if you like it, I'm sure you can think of something for it. As far as I can see, you have lovely list of changes that you would like to see to Rits, especially the active Binding Rituals which I hope Anet will take consideration.Greenery 09:58, 25 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I agree with Greenery. It's also my impression: the Rit. shouldn't become able, to remove hexes, but he should be able to soothe their consequences, to reduce their duration (like this one), and to gain a benefit for hexed allies. --[[Image:User_Yullive_Consume_Soul.png]] Yullive 13:14, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

attributes of the Rit.
I would give ure mind about the attributes of the Ritualist my recommendation, but there are 2 points I want you to remind.
 * Restoration Magic also has the task to remove conditions and I think this is realy important for this attribute.
 * Spawning Power should make the Rit. to kinda battery? No way! Primal attributes always improve and support the other attributes of the profesion. They help the profession to improve their builds and never create builds, based on the primal attribute. The idea of the Rit. as a energy support isn't bad, but why not use the Channeling Magic? There you didn't found a real definition. To waste the primal attribute of the Rit. that way is kinda unworthy. --[[Image:User_Yullive_Consume_Soul.png]] Yullive 13:14, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
