Lunk's Issue

You already don't have to target a spirit for this to work. If you cast it without targeting one, it steals the energy from the closest spirit to you. Half of your problem never existed. It still needs a buff. 76.89.81.150 15:08, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Cursed Angel's proposal and yes it should be moved into Communing. A. von Rin 21:45, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

I used this skill as the primary rit healer in TA, with just destruction, life, and recovery. I managed to get about 4 energy every 6 seconds (GoLE is 15 energy every 30). It really did make the skill work bringing, but I also wouldnt mind a buff to it 76.26.189.65 13:13, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Cursed Angel's Issue

Good idea CA, i also think that skill is a bit underpowered compared to other e-management skills. The low recharge is only a small benefit as you can only use this skill reasonable every 30 seconds per spirit. As the anon above said, it's really only worth bringing it if you are having many spirits to steal energy from, and GoLE has compared to it almost no requisiton for its full potential with the same e-income without need to spam the skill...(and we're comparing those skills with 15 Channeling Magic for Spirit Siphon, and 0 Energy Storage for GoLE) —ZerphaThe Improver 13:37, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

This skil becomes problematic when teams build around having many spirits, you can suck the energy out of anyone's spirit, including enemy spirits. - Elder Angelus 18:45, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Maybe just change it to 20...40...45% or something?
