I think they should add: "this skill recharges 50% faster if no spirit was healed this way" and also cast time should be reduced to 1 second. This way it could also become more viable without using spirits (or when they where destroyed). A. von Rin 21:50, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Reducing the casttime without reducing the damage would make this skill maybe too powerful in spike Builds. Reducing damage, recharge and cost would make this skill usefull with spirits like agony (which is weak quite now and would be made viable in a more active way rather than buffing the spirit itself). However, the healing must be limited to a single spirit because otherwise it would promote mass-spirit builds too much. With healing only a single spirit, you get actually an advantage unsing only a single spirit, because only that way you can be sure that this spirit will get healed.--Lunk 19:15, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

I'd say reduce recharge, but leave the rest of it as is. That way, it's still interrupt bait, but has a good effect if it goes off. It also benefits rit damage slightly, by giving them another decent source of damage- remember, this does NOT ignore armor, which should prevent it from being broken. Ten energy isn't exactly nice to deal with either, since the other powerful rit spells are often 10 energy- spamming will drain your bar fast. --Kalas Silvern 04:32, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
