== Skye Marin's Issue -- [[User:Skye Marin|Skye Marin]] 20:28, 21 February 2008 (UTC) ==
[[User talk:Isaiah Cartwright/Ritualist/Communing spirits#Skye Marin's Issue|Discussion]]
; Issue
: Non-offensive spirits in the communing line are particularly weak.
; Suggestion
: Re-work all non-attacking communing spirits with a lower cost, lower recharge, and more viable effects, but only with "earshot range" so that turtling and passive defense isn't an issue. Look at suggestions for specific skills listed here:

*'''Displacement''' - lower to 25% block, lower range to earshot
*'''Shelter''' - lower cost to 15, change damage to 60, lower range to earshot, fix description text
*'''Union''' - lower cost to 10, lower range to earshot
*'''Soothing''' - lower cost to 10, lower range to earshot
*'''Earthbind''' - lower recharge to 30
*'''Armor of Unfeeling''' - also, rituals cannot be interrupted

Other attributes:

*'''Recuperation''' - lower cost to 15, lower range to earshot
*'''Preservation''' - increase healing range to earshot
*'''Life''' - increase healing range to earshot, lower recharge to 15

*'''Boon of Creation''' - Returns 1..10 energy, this enchantment ends if a binding ritual is interrupted, lower duration to 5..30, lower recharge to 20

Poor effect per energy cost
; Suggestions
* Reduce energy cost of spirits in the communing line
* Make PvE versions of the skills with reduced energy cost

; Issue
Awful skills compare to core classes skills. Poor effect for its energy cost.
To play adequate with communing is with [[Ritual Lord]] skill and [[Soul Twisting]], leaving it with no room for innovative builds.
Skill [[Tranquil Was Tanasen]] is not effective since it will "drain" your mana when your weapon is away.
; Suggestions
* Reduce their recharge time.
* Re-work skill functions for spirits like [[Shelter]], [[Displacement]], [[Union]],etc., because these are not preferable skills due to the fact that core classes benefit from skills that have better functions with low cost.
* Make PvE only version of the spirits.
Example of effectiveness:

[[Protective Spirit]] (Core skill)

10[[Image:Tango-energy.png]]
{{1/4}} [[Image:Tango-activation-darker.png]]
5 [[Image:Tango-recharge-darker.png]]
Note: It's an enchantment, last {{gr|5|23}} seconds, target only one ally.

[[Shelter]] (Factions skill)

25[[Image:Tango-energy.png]]
5[[Image:Tango-activation-darker.png]]
45[[Image:Tango-recharge-darker.png]]
Note: It's a level 7 spirit, loses 54 health when it's effect its activated, loses health when attacked and by a foe's spell that causes damage, all allies withing its area of effect are affected.

Spawing Power at 12, 48% more health, spirit will have 207 health, max. of times it can activate is 3.87 ~ 4 times, Spawing Power at 0, 0% more health, max. of times it can activate is 2.47 ~ 2.

== Metal Sazz issue ==

; Issue
: Spirits attacking random targets make some spirit awkward to use, spirit like anguish and disenchantment may or may not attack targets they are meant for, it's hard to get a strategy going if if there alot of target, but you only want to attack a certain one,
;suggestion
: either have it where the spirit attacks your called target if there is one, or have the spirit prioritizes it's target, like anguish attacking hexed foes more often, or shadowsong attack melee if one is within range of it, something along that nature
