sPvP is left behind for the sake of PvE
Actually, Ranger Spirits sucked in PvP and no one ran them except in PvE where people could try to keep them out of arms way (even the Frost Spirit is used in PvE sometimes), Necros complained about damage sucking because of condi cleanses affecting their only high damaging condition; bleeds.
If you read the forums in the past few months, before the June 25th patch you’d know this.

And Torment wasnt enough for condition damage?Actually i read the forums for a long time now and i never heard in sPvP forums that Necros needed access to burning.Ive heard a lot of Necros complaining of being a free target for everyone to push-knock-nuke etc…I never heard they lacked in dmg, i dont visit the Necros forum maybe im wrong
Spirits didnt die so often in pvp, in pve the Frost spirit was there but the others werent (and even now aint)..
In pvp they could have been of a use even without making em as a must take..If they followed by default, if , if , if…still in pve they needed a boost in health pool
Some definitely asked for burning but I do agree that if Dhuumfire was Dhuum’s Torment it would have still been cool.
Spirits got a health pool boost but they are still quite easy to kill in PvP. In fact a good counter build is another Ranger with Kyrtan Drakehound and Longbow.
