The frost spirit is now only a .7% dps increase even when traited, making it a utility slot that is worse than a single stack of vulnerability. I’m going to give Anet credit and assume that this is not an intentional change, because it would be an incredibly stupid decision if it was.
This is a high priority item that you need to fix asap, because Ranger is not viable in PvE without a working Frost Spirit. It becomes probably the worst PvE class by a long shot without it.
