Yeah that's not a bad idea at all either. Especially useful to get into DoA runs as well.

Started a Ritualist with my friend (also a ritualist). We're gonna be playing through Factions first. In-game name for that character is Kuishen Shinamari.
which subclass should i learn for my ritualist?
Really doesn't matter. You'll be mainly using spirits.
spirit spamming is so effective but oh so very boring
I went /necro, my friend went /mesmer. Necro adds a bit more flavor to things in the early levels but as Eanae said, you'll mainly be a spirit spammer for most of your shit.
Also can you only have one spirit of the same type out at the same time, even with multiple ritualists? I was noticing that early on when my friend was using Pain and then I used it, his disappeared. Or are we doing something wrong? If that's the case I might just go full necro and let him be the spirit spammer.
Yes only one spirit type per group. You'll want to split your spirits you use between yourselves.
Yes one spirit with the same name within radar range (your compass). It's common for one person to have a skillbar with only Channeling Magic spirits (& SoS) and another person to have a bar with only Communing spirits (& for example SoGM - Signet of Ghostly Might). The limitation is only there for spirits, not the other skills, so you can still have the same skills (e.g. you can both have Armor of Unfeeling).
@Kuishen, how far into Factions are you?
I have a pet project character im running through the game right now, I'm currently in Vabbi in nightfalls but i'm pretty open to doing factions/prophecies if someone or a group of people want to run through the game. IGN is Kai Zanshin but it's probably easier to PM me or hit me up on AIM because I don't login regularly (but would if someone wants to run through missions).
guess i'll need to look for some guide for Faction missions - i dont find any npc that gives quests - Lv8 right now
You probably missed a connecting quest somewhere.
@Tol Just finished the second mission. We're taking it slow cause neither of us really wants to go it alone (me having done that with my monk and him being new to the game) so basically whenever we're both available at the same time and not playing L4D2/TF2 with other friends. I'll add you on AIM and maybe we can work something out or whatever.
Started working on LDOA last night. Going to be horrible and I'm kind of doubting I'll ever finish it.
yea, you're right. had to talk twice with the npc that gave me the subclass quest. goind second mission right now
I felt like that but I actually did end up finishing my 2nd (!!!) LDOA right before the Christmas event started, a buddy then ran me through eye of the north far enough to get Livia. I snowball domination'd my way to survivor a couple days after that. 2 things I really thought i'd never do, let alone on a single character.
Once you can pick up Langmar's daily it just becomes easier if you wait until Farmer Hamnet. First character: I'd just zone out of Foibles (with Hamnet daily) kill the first 2 daily mobs right by the res stone and map warp back inside. Zone out > rinse repeat until 20. My 2nd LDOA I got 14 right as the daily switched from Hamnet. I waited a couple days until Footman Tate quest and I decided I didn't want to wait another 4 days. I used my 2nd account to flip the north gate for me on each Tate farming run. Footman Tate is actually a really good experience yield and less mind numbing than Hamnet farming but considerably harder. I basically killed every Charr and sold Charr bags/Blk Dyes/Charr Salvage/Runes in my pit stops and worked up enough pre-gold to buy 3,000 party points by the time I got LDOA on my 2nd character.
Titles have to be the worst part bout doing HoM. >.<
Working on factions vanquishing and cartographer at the same time. Got 9 vanquishes and 11% map to go. And that still only puts me at 5 titles. Something like 30 or 50 titles for maxed titles for HoM.
And why again are you doing VQ for HoM... especially if you don't like it... ?
It's not needed for 30pts. And if you're doing it for the extra titles.. well.. I'd say only do that if you're enjoying it.
The GW1 titles won't mean shit in GW2 anyway when there will be new titles to grind for; and you can only have 1 active title.
Oh yes, agreed. I'm just saying don't torture yourself with Vanquish when there are easier ways to get a few titles to get to 30/50 HoM (if that's Eanae's goal; didn't lookup HoM progress).
If you do campaigns + protector you already have 6 titles.
