This change is a gigantic nerf
Horrible horrible change. Does anyone even use this skill? It's patently worse than Offering of Spirit now in any scenario save being at 0 energy constantly. - Greven 12:40, 2 February 2007 (CST)

This is a signet, not a spell, and as such is usually harder to counter or mess with. Also you can use this to bring yourself out of energy debt that is caused by casting ashpot spells. With the new changes to the channeling line this isn't so bad and works nicely into my builds. Oh and if you don't own nightfall Offering of Spirit might be rather hard to get, and even if you do own it, the Domain of Secrets is far into the story line of nightfall. Sure you can unlock it for your PVP only or your heroes but that doesn't help your PvE rit much.


 * You forgot Mantra of Signets. That and sig of spirits is a nice combo. However I find that Channeling rits don't really need to use their elite on energy management due to the abundance of cheap spells and Essence Strike. This sig would be better used in Communing, as Spawning Power has AwS, and Channeling has OoS and Essence Strike.172.203.98.155 10:45, 14 February 2007 (CST)
 * Mantra of Signets costs 15 energy, which is more than the max energy gain of this skill. Shido
 * I think they meant Mantra of Inscriptions which makes this signet much more effective as a power management skill. --66.93.17.228 18:08, 9 March 2007 (CST)

Dangit... I've done at least an hour's worth of math on this and no matter how I do the numbers, Offering of Spirit always comes out on top with energy management. Using Mantra of Inscriptions is just a waste of space (unless you are going to use a build composed of mesmer and ritualist signets...) because the cost for the mantra always makes the energy gain less then that of offering of spirit, unless someone can prove me wrong mathematically. The only advantage this has over offering of spirit is that it is a nonspell skill. (Gah! You can't even use this without a spirit!) -Hesus

Offering of Spirit costs 5 energy therefore, from 0-12 it's net energy gain is 3-10 also, therefore, they have the same net energy one use. However, they both have different pros and cons. Signet of Spirits is a signet, so it's less interruptible than offering, although offering has a cast time of 1/4 of a second. Signet of spirits doesn't require energy to use, so it can be used with a slightly lower energy. Its recharge can be lowered by mantra of inscriptions, since it's a skill, but to counter my self, it's recharge is slightly longer than that of offering of spirit. Also since it has a longer cast time, it's more easy to interrupt by things that interupt all actions. Offering of Spirit can be used anywhere, although while not next to a spirit, has a small sacrifice. Thoughtful 16:58, 20 May 2007 (CDT)

Looks like a cookie?
I think this skill should be renamed to Gingerbread Signet, pronto. Naobear 13:43, 7 April 2007 (CDT)
