Overview[edit]
- The Communing line offers a mixture of defensive, offensive, and utility skills, with heavy emphasis on zoning, damage reduction, anti-casting, knock down and snare/attack prevention skills.
- Twelve of the available twenty-two Binding Rituals are linked to the Communing attribute, including:
- Restoration, one of the ritualist's four resurrection skills.
- Shadowsong, one of the ritualist's five blindness inflicting skills.
- Dissonance, one of the ritualist's three interruption skills.
- Disenchantment, the ritualist's only enchantment removal skill.
- Soothing, the ritualist's only adrenaline denial skill.
- The remaining ten Communing skills are frequently used as utility in direct support of attribute lines outside of Communing. This includes 1 signet, 2 hex spells, 1 item spell, and 6 offensive, defensive and supportive weapon spells.
