/ 2 Hard Res CwD Cappers

2 Hard Res Cappers[]

The Ritualists should bring spirits that make it slightly harder for enemies to cap the shrine later on, such as:
- Bloodsong can help against disorganized attempts at capping
- Agony helps against mobs of minions to some extent.
- Recuperation eases some pressure off of both NPC's and allies that pass within spirit range.
- Recovery annoys enemies that rely on conditions
- Life Will die when the shrine is nuked, healing the npcs

Optimal Equipment[]

weapon sets for

40/40 channeling
Defense and high health,(Spear/Sword/Axe+Shield) with a "Swift As The Wind" inscription on the shield.

Usage[]

General[]

Ritualists should spend time healing when not spiking. Do not try to pressure foes with CwD.
Spike by casting Cruel was Daoshen, running near the target and casting Cruel was Daoshen again, causing the first one to drop, and then dropping the second one.
Finish off other enemies with Ancestors' Rage if necessary.
The Ritulists with hard res have healing priority. Make sure one of them is alive at all times.
Maintain energy with Offering of Spirit.
Use Soothing Memories as a general heal.

Capping[]

While on the move, maintain Natural Stride and Cruel was Daoshen.
Run up to the NPCs at the shrine and use the CwD spike.
Cast your spirits, get energy, heal up, and move on.

Mob Killing[]

The rit should use Weapon of Warding on the monk before the group attempts to break up a mob.
Run into the most concentrated part of the mob with Natural Stride.
Use the CwD spike, and try to finish off some low-health targets with A-Rage.
Use Natural Stride to run away from the survivors and those untouched by the spike.

Counters[]

Poor coordination.
Getting separated.
Caster hate.
Anti-spike skills.
Shelter

Variants[]

Any Restoration/Channeling spirit not listed.
Channeled Strike instead of A-Rage or MBaS for finishing off foes, or even for a long-range spike on a single weakened enemy.
Spirit Rift for a long-range spike on weakened NPC's.
Essence Strike to help manage energy and finish off enemies. Generally not very practical given the usual play style of this build.
"Make Haste!" for more mobility, but less defense.
"Fall Back!" on the three rits. Opens up the monk's secondary and provides mobility at the cost of defence. Chain for best results.
Spirit Light instead of mend body and soul for a larger heal at the cost of conditional sacrifice
Flesh of My Flesh for a different Hard Res.
Resilient Weapon instead of weapon of warding for more conditional defense.
One Ritualist can take ranks in in Communing instead of Restoration to access a wider range of protective/offensive spirits for shrine protection, and perhaps bring Vital Weapon to maintain on all party members
