We already have the Ritualist e-spec: Revenant. What more do you expect from summoned spirits? Or is your concept of Rit different? I have the impression that people who did not play this class in the original version say about the connection revenant to the ritualist. Stance is by no means spirits and definitely is not even his substitute. If I was to compare the action of a character in any way, then for me definitely the revenant is closer to the dervish. And I have the impression that people don't understand the difference between gameplay and theme, Revenant does not play the same as the Ritualist but it's still the closest thing thematically that we have. Same with Mesmer for example, gameplay is vastly different than it was in the first game but thematically it still uses Illusionary and chaos magic.if you are satisfied with this solution, I congratulate you and I am happy about your happiness, for me it is no equivalent and I completely dislike the suggestion that since both characters derive energy from mists, they are their counterparts ;)
