Binding rituals are skills unique to the Ritualist profession. Semantically, the Ritualist summons a spirit from the Underworld to do his/her bidding, producing a spirit where the caster is standing. Typically, they are skills with a long activation time in PvP, but quickly summoned in PvE due to frequent party movement across different locations. Unlike Nature Rituals, binding rituals either affect allies or foes, but not both.
The spirits summoned by a binding ritual can take on one of two looks:
- If the spirit attacks foes, such as spirit of Pain, its hands will be shackled to its side and it will hurl projectile at its foes with its hands.
- If the spirit does not attack foes, such as the spirits of Soothing and Restoration, then the spirit's hands will be crossed before its chest and shackled to its shoulders.
[edit] Notes
- Expertise will affect the cost of binding rituals.
- Because binding rituals are not spells, fast casting does not reduce their casting time.
- Since binding rituals are not spells, skills or conditions that affect spells won't work against it, e.g. daze, and many of the Mesmer's interruption skills.
- Life is the only passive spirit that takes on the appearance of an attacking spirit.
- Two of the same type of spirit cannot be summoned within the same area; if a second spirit is summoned, it will destroy and replace the first spirit.
- All though spirit attacks seem to be a form of elemental damage (usually dark), spirit attacks can be evaded by "x% chance to block" skills.
