Hmm, I will have to test new weapon options, but on paper Death’s Reach looks actually better
I think nightbringer is designed for this same concept, but much better on cabalist than ritualist. Because of the conversion, and sync really nice with physical res in Blood of dreeg. Whoping 55% physical res for a caster. Like this one:

I think death reach is still BiS in madlee build
Yeah, I was thinking about Cabalist with the 50% ele > vit belt from Lunal’Valgoth as well but I’m not certain it’s worth changing the devo path so I gave up on it.
farming those belts is boring as hell. i think if you play cabalist, Stolen Dream is also BiS. 50% more conversion seems nice for Soul Harvesr or Sigil, but getting a good affix is not worth much
I think Korvan Reaping Halberd is the ultimate weapon for Bone Jovi. Here’s a little tooling around I did for him: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/JVlbG7oN
Sadly my first main character was a Cabalist, and I haven’t made a ritualist yet. Here is what I am currently doing: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/DV97LGPN
I’ve been playing this character since the start, and it’s cool to see we both ended up in a similar direction. I had never considered Ravenous Earth, but I can see how it’s useful. It just looks so gross lol. I never read this build post before but it’s pretty close! I think I will make a ritualist and combine the best of what we’re both doing here. 
It might be if you roll some impossible to farm double rare affixes. Otherwise I think 19% CDR on Death’s Reach outweighs 40% weapon damage and it’s not even close.

so Nightbringer is really better Compare: 2 Shaman skills + 19 physic res vs 8 vit RR. But yeah, i have 3 Nightbringers and none of them has both 19% CDR and 19% phy res
Ah I missed the CDR. You make an excellent point. The CDR is only giving us .3 seconds off the cooldown (due to Ghol’s already reducing the base to 2 seconds), but the additional Vit RR is also quite significant.
What’s the reason for not getting Wendigo Totem? New player here, have a lv.58 ritualist and have that skill in my rotation. Seems to be working well for me as a DPS and support skill though it makes the build less mobile due to needing to be near the totem to utilize its HP recovery effect. I’m not sure how it fairs at endgame.
In endgame this is a kiting/always on the move kind of build because you don’t gain more dps from facetanking with this particular build. Also, lack of extra skill points. For leveling it is probably different.

1.1.6.2 Build Update
Updated this Ritualist according to the current meta. Still strong and hella tough. Thanks to @grey-maybe for testing it in deep Shattered Realm.

I guess in October 2018 Vitality damage wasn’t as hot, huh
