Build talk:Rt/R Attuned Was Songkai Healer

Recreated the Attuned Healer, updated for 2019 usage. I couldn't find it in neither the archive nor the Ritualist section, which I don't understand considering none of its skills were nerfed. I think it makes for quite an effective healer and I use it to clear various Hard Mode content as the solo healer for my hero's. Soldier198 (talk) 00:14, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * It's probably because BiP (on a hero) and Spirit Channeling are options that let you have a secondary open and use of weapon sets (or other item spells - though PwK was nerfed since the active days of PvX so other party heals are more palatable now). Not being vulnerable to enchant strips seems like a decent advantage (though a bit niche) and hex removal is commonly carried on Mesmers (shatter hex) or /Mo supporters. In the past rit healers didn't really have a resident expert here advocating for distinct builds so a lot of them tended to just get merged into other rit healers and AoS probably got lost to one of those merges. Most rit healers submitted also focused way too much on party healing and got trashed. -Toraen (talk) 09:36, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I thought about adding one a few months ago, but ended up submitting the pretty similar Rt/Mo instead. The main reason was that in all my tests with Songkai my party members charged into battle before I had my urn ready and one of them died while I was moving up to them or in the aftercast delay. Thanks to selfless spirit the other ritualist healer didn't have that problem. Outside of troll pugs or with heroes that's no issue though so it's nice to see this bar in PvX aswell. Although I personally play my ritualist with a 105hp team so I'm stuck with ritual lord and can't heal them anymore. ;) If we wanted to resurrect the old page we could try to restore Build:Rt/any Attuned was Songkai Healer which has been deleted in 2009. --Krschkr (talk) 11:55, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * It can't be restored, the page was deleted too long ago and the revisions were permanently deleted from the server. It probably didn't have anything particularly useful or different that would improve on this page though. -Toraen (talk) 12:38, 1 May 2019 (UTC)


 * I have noticed playing as an Attuned Healer requires at minimum two seconds of setup for the ashpot, three with a spirit. This is not an issue when I heal with my hero's as I control them fully. During pug play I began making it known to my teammates that I require a few seconds of a setup due to the aforementioned issue you described. Afterwards it tends to roll pretty well. I would consider it a limitation more in line with players not adjusting their playstyle, akin to someone playing a Soul Twister while another player insists on Minion Bomber. Even so, this issue is more or less universal to Ritualist PvE builds, as they all encompass in some way spirits or other such boons that necessitate usage prior to an engagement.
