Spiritmancer [qDPS]

Introduction

Quickness Ritualist does not require specialised boon duration gear and works well with other builds that are power-based.

The build provides boons and most importantly quickness just by summoning spirits. The uses of offhand sword allows for systematic upkeep of  Relic of the Claw.

Crowd Control

Using a CC skill can increase  Relic of the Claw buff uptime, spaced out in the rotation.

1. Devouring Visage moments before entering shroud.
2. Innervate Wanderlust when exiting shroud and has no cast time.
3. Summon Spirits as part of your shroud rotation.
4. Use Charge for on-demand CC.

Crowd Control

This build has a good amount of might generation for solo play. Replace one of your weapon skills with other utilities like summons for group play.

Benchmark

The benchmark is performed with ascended food and gear without infusions. You should be able to break 26k easily as this number is not grinded for. The build does more damage in actual fights due to allies than on the golem. You may bench higher when you replace one weapon skill with minions. The damage numbers on ArcDPS may not be accurate when there are other ritualists in the same subgroup.
