Spirit Channeling

Issue

While it is a pretty bad skill, the main point I want to make here is a suggestion to improve mobility at the cost of your elite. Any skill could do (preferably in Spawning Power), this one is just the one I see as the more replaceable with this suggestion.

Suggestion

Enchantement. For X seconds, you are within earshot of one additional spirit.

Idea

You give up your elite to be able to trigger spirit-related effects at will (as long as you are able to keep your enchantment up). I let more competent people decide the numbers and how it would handle skills that damage or heal spirits.

Issue

-Its suicidal in PvP to self-inflict degeneration. An elite should not be risky in causing degen -and- having an unsure conditional heal.

-Any reasonable spiking-build can kill quickly, and that degen could mean living or dying even with a monk.

-Could make it trigger only if a spirit is shadowstepped. It will still have a conditional "Catch" (as is common among rit skills), but the benefits outway the risk of the spirit being killed before its use.

Suggestion

• -A- Spirit Channeling -

5 ¼ 20 - (Spawning Power) - Elite Enchantment Spell. "All spirits you control shadowstep to your current location. Both you and your teleported spirits gain 60...108...120 Health. For each spirit teleported, gain + 0...2...3 energy regeneration for 10 seconds. -=OR=-

• -B- Spirit Channeling -

5 ¼ 15 - (Spawning Power) - Elite Enchantment Spell. Initial effect: spirits you control shadowstep to your current location. (10 seconds.) You gain + 1...5...6 Energy regeneration. End effect: you are healed for 100 Health if you are within earshot of a spirit.

The spell does give a hp-degeneration and only gives 11 every 30 seconds. To less , even Signet of Spirits gives more and is no spell (can't become interupted that easy). Spirit Channeling is an enchantment and foes can deprive it.

After the change (cant heal you anymore) it is even worse than before.

Suggestion

The name gives me a hint how the spell could work.

• Spirit Channeling -

5 ¼ 15 - (Spawning Power) - Elite Enchantment Spell. For 1...15...19 seconds, if you use a skill on an ally, he gains 20 health for every spirit within earshot to you (maximum 75). Spells you cast on a foe have 30% armor penetration, if you are within earshot of a spirit. If you are not within earshot of a spirit you sacrifice 7% of your maximum health whenever you use a skill.

Bad e-management. OoS>This.

Suggestion

• Spirit Channeling -

10 ¼ 20 - (Spawning Power) Elite Enchantment Spell. For 9...19...21 seconds, you gain 0...2...3 energy whenever you use a spell within the earshot of a spirit.

Gutti's Suggestion

• Issue:

Really weak energy management

• Suggestion

• Spirit Channeling -

5 ¼ 20 - (Spawning Power) Elite Enchantment Spell. (2...6...7 seconds.) You gain 1 energy per second for every spirit you control within earshot.

OR

• Spirit Channeling -

5 1 25 - (Spawning Power) Elite Skill. (1...20...25 seconds.) You gain 1 energy per second if you are within earshot of your spirit. All spirit you controls lose 1 energy per second. -Gutti Loh 06:38, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
