The PvXwiki community finds this to be an excellent build. If you disagree with this rating, please discuss it on the build's talk page. This build has been designed for the following use: |
The 330hp Ritualist uses Protective Spirit to reduce damage to 33 damage so Vengeful was Khanei makes the Ritualist invulnerable. Additional damage from Retribution and others skills speeds up the killing of enemies.

Farmable Areas[]
Underworld[]
- When you enter Underworld, cast Essence Bond and Balthazar's Spirit and wait for energy recharge. Cast Retribution.
- Aggro the Aatxes (2-3 is recommended, although more is possible, just more difficult), cast Protective Spirit. Try to do this in the very same time, or at least Protective Spirit should be up first. (Try to keep yourself away from the Aatxes while pulling to reduce the chance of a Nightmare pop-up)
- If a Nightmare appears, let it Rend you, it kills itself, and then just re-enchant yourself and continue.
- After you gained your first hit, put up Spirit Bond and renew Protective Spirit.
- Pull the Aatxes where you want to kill them, cast Vengeful Was Khanhei and maintain Spirit Bond and Protective Spirit.
- Maintain the Vengeful Was Khanhei, Spirit Bond, and Protective Spirit as much as possible until they die.
- Move on through the Labyrinth, kill Aatxes the same way, interrupt Nightmare's spells, etc.
- Once all Aatxes and Nightmares are dead, take the Lost Soul's quest.
- WARNING: Graspings start with an interrupting hit, so don't try to recast enchants that time
- Move to the Smites.
- Aggro one group at a time; they are much easier to execute than Graspings or Aatxes.
- Avoid Coldfires, but if you'd like it, you can engage them, one group at a time. They won't drop anything valuable, so it's a waste of time.
