Ritualist



The Ritualist is a new profession introduced with the Guild Wars expansion Guild Wars: Factions (Chapter Two).

The Ritualist is a shaman, a savage priest of nature that combines aspects of the monk, ranger and necromancer professions.

The speciality of the Ritualist are Nature Rituals, which he uses to summon powerful spirits (totems) for both defensive and offensive purpose.

The area where the Ritualist shines the most is team support, similar to the monk. Although he has some agressive skills and ways to deal damage, he isn't suited very well to play solo or even to be a tank.

The Ritualist can be recognized by his typical robes, garnished with bones, teeth, shells and other objects that he uses to perform his rituals. Like monks and necromancers they sometimes wear magical tattoos. Furthermore, Ritualists often go blindfolded, in order not to distract their superior spiritual senses with earthly visuals.
