Dear Anet, dear Ranger-Fans,
i would like to make some suggestions for improving the Rangers Spirit Skills.
I like to play Ranger and I like to play with a litte bit group support aspect and for me, i realize this with using spirits.
But I think, Spirits can be much more viable with a few little changes.
There are 2 kinds of Spirits:
– Those, who have an over time effect (Stone Spirit, Frost Spirit) and
– those, who have an direct effect (Water Spirit, Sun Spirit and Storm Spirit)
My i deas to make this Spirits more better/viable are the follows:
1. Make the Spirits with an direct effect a Blast Finisher when activating the Spirit-Skill
- This is only for Sun Spirit and Storm Spirit.
This would give the Ranger more access to Blast finishers, and the Ranger has really less of them^^
2. Make the the Spirits with over time effect creating a 3s combo-field.
- Frost Spirit: 3s Frost field (4 pulses , 1s to 1 1/4s chill per pulse)
- Stone Spirit: 3s ether field (4 pulses, 2s immobilize at start, 1s cripple per pulse, as it is now)
- Water Spirit: 3s water field
A second option is to make the Stone Spirit a Blast finisher also, cause ist an"mud field" like Muddy Terrain and ist’s not an Combo field to…dont know which one is the more better option, but i think both are possible.
3. The last idea is especially for Water Spirits:
- Make them to remove 1-2 conditions. There are two possibilities:
– The start healing for u and ur pet removes 1 condition or
– The activated Spirit skill removes 1 condition (for up to 5 allies)
This would make this healing skill more viable, in Spirit builds and i think this would not be OP.
If i have to decide for one of these 2 options, i would prefer the second one, cause it should be an group orianted improvement
I hope, this is read from some Dev’s an the idea will reach the team. An I hope to get positive Feedback from the Ranger.Community (and all others), especially of those, who love toplay Spirits like me. Or Maybe Spirits would get more viable to all Players, cause i think, they are really great and the few of the less group-support skills Rangers have access to.
P.S. Sry for my bad english XD
