ArenaNet:Skill feedback/Ritualist/Ritual Lord

Lancy's & Falconeye's Proposal

 * Issue
 * -1- Outdated Concept- (see Ritual Lord & Battle Meditation)
 * -Obsolete by Imbagon.
 * -Spirit Supporters no longer see any decent play (if any at all) in high level areas.
 * -Dreadful energy management compared to other elite-updates (see Ether Prism)
 * -Assassin's Promise is 100% superior, requiring more skill and provides greater overall fun factor (see AP Spirit Spammer).
 * -Spirits were overpowered in PvP for quite a while; however IIRC that was before the N/Rt nerfs, which might be sufficient to either make a spirit buff safe in PvP or do a split.
 * -2- Nearly all Binding Rituals worth spamming with Ritual Lord are too expensive and never last longer then 6 seconds (see Lancy1214's Active Binding Rituals).
 * -Some Spirits already have quick recharges compared to their durations.
 * -As I'm striving for Binding Rituals to becoming more active, a recharge reduction of 50% would be a little harsh considering the vast party wide buffs that these rituals have to offer and the smaller recharge times now
 * -A ritualist specializing in summoning spirits could use this to cast the rituals even faster, avoiding interruption (most of the time), strive for a longer duration, and increased reliability/survivability of summoned creatures in general.

Suggestion
 * Updated:
 * See Soul Twisting (penalty for ritual skills)
 * - - (Spawning Power) - Elite Skill. All of your Binding Rituals are recharged. You gain  Energy. Your rituals activate 33% slower (10 seconds).
 * - - (Spawning Power) - Elite Skill. All of your Binding Rituals are recharged. You gain  Energy. Your binding rituals are disabled (10 seconds).
 * See Rage of the Ntouka (penalty for spells)
 * - - (Spawning Power) - Elite Skill. All of your Ritual skills are recharged. You gain  Energy. Your spells are disabled (10 seconds).

 * Original:
 * - - (Spawning Power) - Elite Skill. "For  seconds, Binding Rituals you cast activate 33% faster, last 33% longer, have 33% increased health and gain an additional + armor. Also effects Summoned creatures in PvE. "
 * Concise Version
