Wielder's Zeal

Wielder's Remedy

Vengeful Weapon

Weapon of Warding

Weapon of Shadow

Wielder's Boon

Flesh of My Flesh

Optional

• Life can be a good skill to bring along; although this would be better coupled with Spirit to Flesh. Weapon of Shadow and Wielder's Boon can be the ones swapped.

• Resilient Weapon can be added as an addition spell to counter hexes.

Equipment

• Restorer's Headwrap
• Halcyon's (Radiant) Armor for added energy. The Arms and Legs pieces, however, should have Mystic's Armor for added defence since you will be spamming skills.
• Rune of Minor Spawning Power, Rune of Superior Restoration Magic.
• Best possible Vigor Rune.
• The other two runes are optional; you may prefer extra energy withRunes of Attunement but a Rune of Recovery is also helpful to ward of daze.
• Bazzr's Staff and Spiritgarden's Repose work well, as well as any staff with similar mods.

Useage

This build works as a support healer/protector by using unremovable Weapon Spells and can cover almost all the responsiblities that a monk can carry.

• When a battle commences, begin by casting Wielder's Zeal and then Wielder's Remedy. Wielder's Zeal will serve as your energy management while Wielder's Remedey removes conditions from your allies while serving as a cover enchantment.
• Vengeful Weapon should be used as your main heal, as it is spammable and has a net cost of 1 energy while using Wielder's Zeal.
• Use Weapon of Shadow on the team's tank or any member that is being heavily attacked by enemies.
• Weapon of Warding is also useful when used on a tank or someone under heavy fire and has the added benefit of a much quicker recharge time.
• Wielder's Boon is your major heal. Bear in mind that it is not a Weapon Spell, so Wielder's Zeal will not help with this spell. However, when used on a party member who has a weapon spell, it bolsters a huge spike heal, similar to Word of Healing; therefore it is best used on party members with low health as oppsed to your "spam" heal, Vengeful Weapon.
• Of course, use Flesh of My Flesh to ressurect fallen party members.

Counters

Despite possibly lacking the out and out healing abilites of a Monk, this build is much more versatile, as most of your healing will be with Weapon Spells instead of enchantments. There are however a few counters to this build:

• Foes that use a lot of Hex Spells. This build lacks proper hex removal, and as such, is very suseptible to hexes.
• General "anti-caster" spells: various Mesmer spells such as Backfire can be devastating to you since you spam spells.
• Another counter to this Ritualist itself are enchantment removals. These will strip you of either your condition removal or your energy managment source.

Variants

Consider going Rt/Mo for hex removal such as Remove Hex or Holy Veil. These skills do not require any further attrbute points spent.
