I like this idea. Nice. :) --Combatter 17:21, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Better than CC. Makes sense? Moo Kitty 17:25, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Nice nerf, nobody runs more than like, 8 spawning power. Frosty 17:27, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

This is like the Glowing spells from the elementalists; they're used often. Just invest a bit into spawning and maybe grab a skill or 2 from it while you're there. Harrier 17:28, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Except rits, in PvP, are used mainly as runners (ie this would only be used for spike assists, and the damage is bad compared to other skills) or as defensive mid-line (and there are MUCH better options out there). So, you'd be making this pretty much PvE-only unless it's run in a gimmick, energy-heavy spirit build. 17:30, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

They're just like the spells you referred to, except in a useless attribute, and totally un-usable for GvG. Other than that, you made your point. Moo Kitty 17:33, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Reading with understanding lies and cries.That's in PvE no in PvP.Coming back to the suggestion.In my opinion very good balance,but if we reworked Essence Strike,ANet should change Caretaker's Charge.Goril 16:34, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Better energy returns for cheaper investment! --Falconeye 09:24, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Astohan version: Channeling Magic ~ 0 ranks/Spawning Power ~ 6 ranks >> 8 energy - 5 cost = netgain of 3 energy = 24% spirit health & weapon duration.

Current version: Channeling Magic ~ 13 ranks/Spawning Power ~ 0 ranks >> 8 energy - 5 cost = netgain of 3 energy = 54 Lightning damage.
