[edit] Assassin

[edit] Ritualist

First of all, I do not hate ritualists. I hate their design. They were designed to be a camper AWP class, which has proven to be bad for all types of games. Ritualists were designed to be a "passive buff" class, which should have been a red flag to anet, considering this game is based on the necessity of actually having to use your keyboard. This small list of skills is just the basics, Lancy has a very extensive page about improving/reworking ritualists as a whole. I'd say ignore this section altogether and check out that page.

Someone else (haven't tracked them down) suggested changing binding rituals to something similar to Paladin Auras from Diablo 2, and I thought it was quite interesting and very feasible.
