General Spike Usage
- All Rits should maintain Read the Wind.
- Before a spike is called, use Nightmare Weapon on yourself.
- All Rits should use Nightmare weapon -> Caller should wait around 5-6 seconds before counting down a spike, reapply weapon etc. This ensures that the Rits will be under a weapon spell for a majority of the time).
- All Spike with Dual Shot -> Distracting Shot (on the same time).
- Only use Distracting Shot in times where spiking isn't necessary (eg Holding an altar, splitting on cap points etc).
Equipment for Rits
- Armor set should be Ghost Forge insigs (since you will be under Nightmare a fair amount of time), Vitae's are essential.
- All Rits should have Vampiric Flatbows and Hornbows for spiking (Flat for long range spikes). 15^50 with health +30.
- All Rits should have 40/40 Sets of the spell they use in their 6th Slot (Resto mainly). Consume Soul Spiker should take a 40/40 Spawning Set. Pin Down Spiker should have a Crippling Bow of preference.
- All Rits should have defensive sets for when being spiked (All sets with +AL versus certain elements/damages).
