  • Spirits: (PvE only) All ranger spirits are now immune to crowd control on a PvE map.

August 02, 2022

  • Spirits: Fixed a bug that caused spirit boons to be granted in a circle around the ranger instead of the spirit.

June 28, 2022

  • Spirit skills now affect 5 allied targets.
    • Spirits no longer apply effects when an ally in the radius strikes an enemy. Instead, each spirit applies a boon to allied targets in the radius at each 3-second interval. The Nature's Vengeance trait increases the base duration of these boons by 50% and causes spirits' activated skills to apply alacrity to allies in an area.
    • Spirits and their applied boons are as follows:
    • Storm Spirit: Fury

  • Spirits have been reworked as follows: When a spirit pulses its passive effect, it loses health equal to a percentage of its maximum health. (7.5% for nonelite spirits, 3% for elite spirits.) The effect radius of a spirit's active skill has been reduced from 1,000 to 600 for all spirits. Spirits now die automatically if the ranger moves away from the spirit beyond a range of 5,000. Spirits also die automatically if the ranger transitions between water travel and land travel. Fixed a bug that caused underwater spirits to use their unique skill when killed. Reduced the duration of vulnerability that this skill applies to foes from 10 seconds to 6 seconds.
