; Issue
: In My oppinion rits were created by ANet to support damage with channeling, support healing with restoration, spam offensive/defensive spirits with communing. But nowdays rits are only used in GvG as a flag runners, and rarely they appear in HA. Rits have a little use in PvE, so they lost their place in the team.I (and maybe many others) want to change this. Guild Wars is a very fast game, where the winner must have greater speed. Ritualists have no speed. Binding rituals are slowing them down, so rits can be quick only holding an item and using speed buffs from other professions. No time to cast spirits, while your team is moving and splitting. In PvE the battle is finished by eles, dervs, mm necros, before you can even cast,for example, shadowsong. So spirits are the main problem. Too slow for this game.
; Suggestion
: 1) Reduce spirit casting time 3->1, 5->2
: 2) Reduce spirit duration
: 3) Reduce spirit recharge time
: 4) To prevent players from overspamming battlefield with new fast spirits, we could do this:
''After casting a binding ritual all others binding rituals will be disabled for ~ 4 seconds.'' Better to spam 1 spirit in 5 seconds, than to spam it for 5 seconds. =)
: 5) Change spawning power. Many players suggested to do this before me. I think the most cool idea was to make SP look like this: ''For each 3 rank of SP spirits you cast last 2 seconds longer. For each rank of SP weapon spells you use last for 3% longer.'' In general SP gives a little bonus to rits: +hp to spirits is not good (N/Rts are using defensive spirits even better than a rits, because of good e-management).
