no one wants that.

As original Guild Wars wiki says, Ritualist is a type of ranger that is connected to spirit world, or nature. It would fit with both themes of our ranger profession and Cantha (If it wont get a whole new profession treatment that is).

I agree that the ritualist elite spec would work well on ranger. Although I would rather see the ritualist come back as it's own profession. It had so many great attributes...

Please fix this to be the same format as Light and Heavy armor variants. Separate the chest and leggings on the medium set. Overall it is sloppy, take pride in this, it isn't easy to earn in-game. Please!

I wish they would fix it. No reason to keep combining the chest and legging on the medium class. it's getting old.

...

Yeah, I am very disappointed. They shouldn't combine the top and leggings. literally, every medium armor skin looks like this and it's getting old.

I have high expectations for anet.

The necromancer as you describe is identical as seen in GW1, which obviously was very independent from the ritualist. The Main mechanics seen in the ritualist aren’t Paralleled in any current profession, although minor references can be seen

Based on the original wiki, the ritualist description seems to fit more between a rev and ranger.

“Where the Ranger lives as one with the spirit world, the Ritualist can and will be its master.“

Im sure we’ll both be wrong in the end. Exciting to think about though

Yes, I hope Cantha is re-created without losing it’s essence. I am skeptical sometimes if ArenaNet realizes how many people adore GW factions. I hope they can be mindful and ignore some of these new-age trends... (Intended to be ambiguous)

Ritualist deserves to be it’s own profession. Don’t break it up into various elite specs, you’ll take something great and end up with mediocre.

Ritualist as a profession

Having spent thousands of hours on my ritualist from GW1, I would hate to see it broken up into various elite specs. It would be rather lack-luster and mediocre at best.

The ritualist brought so many new mechanisms to the game that could be expanded upon as a stand-alone profession in GW2. Distribution of the ritualist attributes and mechanics to various elite specs would be an unfortunate loss of opportunity to add life into GW2. The ritualist as a profession in GW2 expansion 3 would be the a wonderful addition to see.

A note to the devs: Expanding on what was great in GW Factions is vital to the success of this upcoming expansion. Go back to the roots, Factions is beloved by a large percentage of your player-base.
