Talk:Draw Spirit

Wait a second. That means you can use this skill to literally MOVE spirits as you move your character? That would essentially make spirits into minions that do not have health degen--Life Infusion 11:35, 4 April 2006 (CDT)


 * Yes, it teleports a spirit to your current location. As far as practical uses go, it is rather limited because the spirit has to be in your magic radius when you cast the spell. So you can move a spirit a distance of half an aggro circle and a little. In PvP, it is theoretically great for pulling a spirit out of AoE, but it is too early to tell if this will see a lot of use. There are, of course, some important questions to answer about this skill:
 * What happens if you pull a spirit into the area of effect of another allied spirit of the same type?
 * Can you pull a spirit out of the radius of Signet of Creation and thereby avoid its effect?

 * Actually I was thinking of this in prior to use of touch range spirit skills (so you won't have to move) or skills that depend on spirits around you (spiritboon strike comes to mind).


 * That sounds like a PvE tactic, at best. In PvP you'd have to be extraordinarily lucky (or facing a clueless opponent team) to pull more than one spirit to you and follow up with SBS (which has a 2 second cast, i.e., "easily interrupted"). Hmm... on second thought, it might be possible with some of the more esoteric rainbow spike setups. Or even an SBS spike team with each spiker having a pet spirit (maintained with Soul Twisting)...

 * The easiest usage that comes to ming is: Pull your EoE spirit behind you instead of the old bait of rushing in to get IWAY and Ranger spike teams to lay down their spirits then pulling back. Now that tactic is useless really since they will just draw their spirits behind them. And yes, the spell pulls nature spirits too. --Karlos 12:19, 4 April 2006 (CDT)


 * I highly doubt that's going to be effective unless Draw Spirit can negate Signet of Creation. Otherwise, every spirit and animated minion has a max lifetime of 30 seconds. Why drag something behind you half aggro radius at a time when it will probably die by the time you get to the desired location? Esan 12:27, 4 April 2006 (CDT)

Targetless use
What happens if you cast this without explicitly targeting a spirit? Does it draw the closest allied spirit to you, just like Taste of Death steals health from the closest minion? F G 14:12, 4 April 2006 (CDT)
