Painful bond = hex + anguish + Pain. 3..2..1.Spirit Spike!-Onlyashadow 09:24, 21 September 2006 (CDT)

 * Hmmm I refuse to call something spike that takes more than 5 seconds to set up and requires foes to not run away during that time. But still good that they try to do something about the currently useless attacking spirits. --Xeeron 09:31, 21 September 2006 (CDT)

I...was joking. But xeeron, what if they use glyph of sacrifice!? Oh the limited possiblities.-Onlyashadow 09:47, 21 September 2006 (CDT)

What is that? 70ish DPS if they stand there and take it? Presumably Signet of might's dmg bonus would be doubled on Anguish. Should be possible to approach 100 dps for a little bit. Assuming the spirits decide to cooperate with your hex target choice.

Sounds like a killer skill for RA. Combine with Painful Bond and Signet of Might for, well, mighty damage. From what I gather, Painful Bond won't be doubled because its extra damage comes from the hex itself, not the spirit, but the extra damage from Signet of Might might (HA, got you again) be doubled. At 16 Communing and a sane 10 Channeling Magic, every hit would strike for 120 damage, which is nothing to laugh at. And if you don't manage to hit several enemies with painful bond, it should be trivial to put cheap hexes on the other foes as well, which would still result in over 100 damage per hit for 10 seconds.

Heh this doesn't sound THAT great to me >.< I mean look at the level. Shadowsong was hard to kill cause it blinded ya even tho it was low level, but not this. (Not a fifty five 19:34, 26 September 2006 (CDT))

This new Binding Ritual seems to have possibilities with the existing Rt/any Spirit Bomber Build. Remove Doom, replace with this skill, and combined with Painful Bond it should result in high damage. The obvious problem is of course, energy management. 25 Energy isn't anything to just overlook, but with Halcyon's Armor and Boon of Creation, it wouldn't be the end of the world. It would leave enough energy to cast Painful Bond too. At 16 Communing this spirit is level 5, rising it's survivability and it's base damage to 21. I'm gonna try it out with my own Spirit Bomber ---{Menran 17:07, 16 November 2006 (CST)}---
