[build prof=Ritualist/any channeling=12+1+3 rest=12+1][Signet of Spirits][Bloodsong][Painful Bond][Splinter Weapon][Spirit Siphon][mend body and s][spirit l][protective was][/build]

Equipment

 * Survivor/Shaman insignias
 * Defensive set

Usage

 * Summon all your spirits before battle. They last much longer than their recharge.
 * You can either use the spirits for a spirit wall to take aggro from your group or pull enemies into spirit range. If you use your spirits as a wall, they will take the brunt of the damage and act as a buffer similar to a minion wall. Spread your spirits out in a line or and arc and pull groups into the spirits. Enemies prioritize attacking spirits because of their low health.
 * Maintain Painful Bond on enemies to increase damage output. Spirits prioritize attacks on uncalled targets with the lowest health.
 * Use Spirit Siphon to manage energy.

Counters

 * Anti-summoning skills (Spiritual Pain, Banishing Strike, etc.)
 * Heavy AoE damage
