Spirit

From Guild Wars Wiki

Spirit from an attacking binding ritual.

Spirits are a type of NPC that can be summoned by the Ranger's Nature Rituals and the Ritualist's Binding Rituals.

Some spirits, though, may appear without being summoned by a player skill. They can be recognized because they can be targeted with skills like Gaze of Fury, which only can target spirits. Examples of this are the Druids or the Binding Spirits

[edit] Properties of spirits

• Non-fleshy.
• Immune to enchantments, hexes, the passive effects of spirits, any healing skills which do not specifically affect spirits and all conditions except burning.
• Can be affected by knockdown.
• Often have a lower level than their attacker, and thus attacks against them are more likely to be critical hits since the crit % formula includes a level comparison
• Can attack hidden foes (such as Snow Wurms and Stormcloud Incubi).
• Range:
  • Unless otherwise specified, the effective radius of passive spirits is roughly 2.7 Danger Zone radii.
  • All spirit attacks are ranged attacks with no cost or recharge, an activation time of 2 seconds and a range of 1.2 Danger Zone radii (the same range as Hornbows, Recurve Bows, Staves, Wands).

[edit] Health and armor

This info is a temporary placemarker in place of official information. Use at your own discretion. Caveat lector.

In normal mode, spirits have approximately level*20 Health and approximately 2 + level*6 armor. In hard mode, hostile spirits have 100 armor.

[edit] Energy

• All Spirits have 31 Energy, independent of Level and Spawning Power Rank.
• All Spirits have four pips of Energy regeneration.
