Build talk:Rt/any Spirit Siphon Healer

Hey guys. Been playing around with this build for a while and I've come to like it. I noticed that most healing Ritualist builds use their elite skill for energy management, leaving unused some potentially powerful elite skills in the Restoration Magic line and elsewhere. I found that Spirit Siphon basically negates the cost of your spirits as long as they don't cost 25 energy, thereby preserving the rest of your energy pool for casting spells. This allows you to utilize many non energy related elite skills with retaining sufficient energy management. An unfortunate downside to this build is the low spawning power attribute; I suggest you avoid weapon spells with short durations such as Weapon of Shadow or Weapon of Warding with this one. Let me know what you think. Soldier198 (talk)
 * I think this page needs great dwarf weapon and splinter weapon@14 in the optionals. :p --Krschkr (talk) 11:41, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Pure Was Li Ming
I'm pretty certain that in general a spirit of recovery will provide better results, maybe with the exception of fights against searing flames (in which case breath of the great dwarf is to be preferred). I never really saw the point in Li Ming, even when it's meant to counter poison spread in PvP. For urgent condition removal on single targets you have mend body and soul and if conditions are an issue in general the party-wide removal every 20 seconds is a bit lackluster in comparison to a general 50% duration reduction which stacks excellently with runes and inscriptions. --Krschkr (talk) 15:51, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree that Recovery is a pretty powerful option to counter conditions. I just prefer immediate removal when I notice my team and allies are loaded with condis, which doesn't happen too often but is a nuisance in certain areas. I wouldn't, however, call Li Ming lackluster. It essentially removes all conditions from allies in earshot range, and its recharge time is suitable given the amount of time it generally takes to spread conditions. Its powerful for sure, and can't be destroyed as a spirit can. Wouldn't use it as an ashpot though. Soldier198 (talk) 16:01, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
