ArenaNet:Skill feedback/Ritualist/Attuned Was Songkai

Falconeye's Proposal

 * Issue
 * -1)- With all the Elite buffs & changes, this could use an update. Much of the rit (namely spirits) issues folks have can easily be mitigated with stategically buffed or altered elite rit skills.
 * -2)- AwS is most frequently run with Channeling and Restoration... both of which could benefit from reduced casting to...
 * -A)- Help Restorers keep up with Healers and provide better support when they need it -now- instead of speading 5+ seconds to prep-up (otherwise known as Performing A Routined Series of Ritauls in ritualist tongue).
 * -B)- Allow more responsive Channelers a legitamate offensive answer incomparison to fellow attack profession and a way out of cliche Ancestors Rage/Splinter's Weapon.
 * -3)- After using this skill for 2+ years now, I am still annoyed that it costs both an Elite slot and the ability to hold weapons; Channeling and Restoration are the -ONLY- Attributes that benefirt from weapons, and Communing benefits little. (I should know, I have both Communing Wand & Focus sitting in my chest collecting dust bunnies.)
 * -4)- While 'hold' effect is most excellent, this doesnt have a 'drop' effect; ALL items spells should have both (or a generic extra armor/health/energy 'hold' bonus) to more then make up for lost of weapons... especially an ELITE!
 * -5)- At modest investment, Offering of Spirit when used on recharge religiously is equal to +1 energy regeneration and is considered superior to Attuned was Songkai as a result.

Change PvE functionality to (if PvP balance is an issue):
 * Suggestion
 * - (Spawning Power)- Elite Item Spell. (45 seconds.) Your spells and binding rituals activate + 5...41...50 % and cost - 5...41...50 % of the base Energy.

-=OR=-
 * - - (Spawning Power) - Elite Item Spell. (45 seconds.) Your spells and binding rituals cost -% of the base Energy. Drop Effect: Your spells and binding rituals are recharged.''


 * Addendum
 * -Possible Abuse? The recharge would mainly be useful for Meteor Shower-like skills -- currently spammed more frequently by a primary Elementalist with Arcane Echo and Echo, Glyph of Renewal or Assassin's Promise -- and "charged" rituals (Shelter, Rejuvenation, etc.), which are underpowered in PvE.
 * -So why use AwS? How else can Rits use Soothing Memories and Recuperation effectively? If Lancy's achieves success in her campaign for making Binding Rituals more active (http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/User:Lancy1214), and if Spawning power offers decent buff while holding Item Spells (such as Damage Reduction 1 per -X- Spawning Power ranks), then there is no justification for increased casting time. But a -DROP- effect is a must!
 * -Look below; two heads better then one ^_^

-Look above ; we are partners in crime now:)
 * Issue
 * Suggestion
 * - - (Spawning Power) - Elite Item Spell. "For 20 seconds, skills you cast cost -%. When you drop her ashes, gain 5 energy per spirit within earshot (maximum  energy)."
