Build:Rt/E JQ Preservation Hybrid

An hybrid Ritualist build that can adjust itself to the flow of the game by being capable of either holding allied shrines (directly or passively) against enemy pressure with Restoration Magic spirits or capturing enemy shrines on its own while boosting/healing carriers with the help of Elementalist spells.

Frequency
The Preservation + Spirits backbone is sometimes seen in regular JQ matches (in a purely defensive setup, or in a hybrid setup like this one).
