Build talk:Rt/any FA Offering of Spirit Healer

I play mostly on the Luxon side, however, after experimenting with numerous healing builds on the Kurzick side, I decided I enjoyed this one the most, and found it good enough to warrant a submittal.

The enchantment stripping effect of the Siege Turtle's attack is avoided by using Offering of Spirit and Spirit Siphon to manage energy, as opposed to the popular Spirit Channeling. I didn't find Attuned Was Songkai to be as effective, as you lose access to your 40/40's and shield sets, though it does have the benefit of dipping into Spawning Power for tougher spirits and longer Weapon Spells.

On the topic of Weapon Spells, I mostly avoided them in this build considering the lack of Spawning Power investment with which to enhance them. Nonetheless, Resilient Weapon lasts long enough to be of decent use, even without Spawning Power.

Spirit Siphon and Offering of Spirit combined provide ample energy; I found no trouble spamming Spirit Light, Mend Body and Soul and Spirit Transfer whenever needed. Shutdown is your biggest enemy with this build as your Spirit's have lengthy cast times. Thankfully, map design is your friend as you are able to exploit walls, gates, and other such objects to evade enemy action.

Let me know what you guys think. Soldier198 (talk) 20:26, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

I've seen the exact same build (minus Offering of Spirit, replaced by Preservation) being played multiple times in JQ for a similar purpose (healing NPC's). The ritualist would scatter the spirits in the little cave behind the shrines to provide passive (and sometimes active) defense. It was somewhat effective, especially against RoJ monks (and bots). Do you think this could this be requalified as something along the lines of "FA/JQ NPC Healer"? Feydslynox (talk) 17:35, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't really be able to say as I have no experience using this build there. You could try it yourself and see how it performs. If it fits the format well, then go ahead and adjust the page to include JQ as a variant. Soldier198 (talk) 22:10, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
