- 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.

March 05, 2019
- 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.
