Ritualist

[comiezapr]

Im new to the game (bought it today) and i was thinking about making my first charachter a ritualist.

Typically I dislike pet classes and the idea behind this build is to deal damage via distort reality and distortion wave. My defensive strategy is to try desperatly to not get hit by moving fast and keeping enemies slow, asleep or stunned.

Alternativly I was imagining a primarily pet-based build, again with a ritualist.

I understand that i havent used all of my points available in these builds, but it should be clear what I want to do from my selections.

What are the problems with these builds? how can they be improved?

Not more than 5 pts in Nightmare, just not worth it. Nymph is the worst pet in the game, Nature's Wrath = crap.

I was just looking at a ritualist build. How many Nightmares can you summon? Just the one or is it like the wolves?

[Irma2]

Just one. Three Nightmares all casting Hypnotic Gaze would be kinda fun. Like an Envenom Weapon trance or something.

1 nightmare and 2 wolves at base but with + stats you can get 3 wolves (and to play the game as a pet based character you need all 3 imho)
