Huntress Ritualist ascendancy is just bad

Compared to Amazon, Ritualist feels completely useless.
One perk with +1 ring and second with 25% more effects from amulets and rings is basically all that this ascendancy has to offer.
And yet its still not worth much as that one ring early game wont help as much.

Almost unlimited charms usage? But most charms are useless anyway, except stun/freeze maybe?

As the whispers ask would be cool if it lasted for a minute at least, especially that rare mobs are not that super common.
As the whispers demand would be actually good if you changed it to: 1 buff from rare mob stays on as long as not switched or cancelled.
This change would actually make this worth picking.

This Blood boil thingy is also useless, most of the time it takes simply too long to activate and when it does it doesn't do much.

Last part important to mention are those 3 negative perks reducing mana spirit or ele. def.
Where elemental def. is obvious pick for every player here as -20% is nothing when you can just put 3rd ring with +25% to it.
Another 2 will most likely never be picked by any player.

Compared to Amazon this ascendancy is just not worth your time. I took it, and it's currently not worth it. Amazon is pure buffs on every perk, increasing damage like crazy, where Ritualist is just meh

+1 GGG Ritualist is so bad right now, please do something or give us the chance to switch ascendancy!
I mean an additional ring is pretty awesome considering that good rings are the hardest things to get
Honestly I would like to see the ritualist sacrifice be changed to requiring a cost, for example spirit reservation, but the buff is permanent until a new buff is taken. That may end up being to strong and everyone will just get the one they want and never change it though. I think by giving it a cost on top of already taking ascendancy points would make it much more appealing. As it stands now I have two ascendancy points that give me a buff maybe 5% of the time, and that is with extending the duration in the passive tree.
Update to this thread. As lately belts can hold 3 flasks, another perk of ritualist is useless. Intricate sigils with +1 flask became totally useless now.
