Ritualist

From Guild Wars Wiki

“

Ritualists channel other-worldly energies that summon allies from the void and employ mystic binding rituals that bend those allies to the Ritualist's will. They hood their eyes to better commune with spirits that grant great power and protection to Ritualists and their comrades. The energy they channel drives Ritualist skills which enhance the deadliness of an ally's weapon and wreak havoc on an enemy's health. The Ritualist can also use the remains of the dead to defend the living-not by reanimating corpses as a Necromancer would, but through the ritual use of urns and ashes. Where the Ranger lives as one with the spirit world, the Ritualist can and will be its master.

— The Guild Wars Factions Manuscripts

By calling upon those who have left this world, the Ritualist is able to strengthen his allies, weaken his foes, call upon spirits, and mend the wounds of those who have been maimed.

Ritualist characters can only be created on accounts that have access to Guild Wars Factions.

A living conduit to the Spirit world, the Ritualist spawns powerful Spirit allies that inflict harm on foes, and can channel restorative magic that heals and protects injured companions.
