Patch	Changes
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. Reduced the duration of vulnerability that this skill applies to foes from 10 seconds to 6 seconds.
May 08, 2018	Increased chance-on-hit from 75% to 100%.
November 07, 2017	Increased the number of targets affected by the Storm Spirit from 5 to 10 targets.
September 29, 2015	Changed the on-hit boon to now apply 3 stacks of vulnerability for 10 seconds.
June 23, 2015	Specialization update: All ranger spirits have had their chance-on-hit effects increased to 75%. The recharge of all nonelite ranger spirits has been reduced to 20 seconds.
April 15, 2014	Updated the spirit's buff description to better reflect the buff's behavior.
November 26, 2013	Decreased the hit-point value of the underwater version of this spirit to be consistent with the land version. Summoning the spirit will now put its activated skill on a 1-second cooldown; this will fix an issue that caused the skill to begin recharging without firing when activated immediately.
September 03, 2013	Storm Spirit, Frost Spirit, Sun Spirit, Stone Spirit, and Spirit of Nature will now begin their recharge when the spirit dies instead of when the spirit is summoned. Recharge has been reduced from 60 seconds to 25 seconds.
August 20, 2013	Added a radius skill fact.
July 26, 2013	Sun, Stone, and Storm Spirit: Fixed a bug that caused downed players to be able to use the spirit effects without gaining the internal cooldown.
December 14, 2012	Updated Storm Spirit's skill fact to include the swiftness proc duration.
August 28, 2012	Game release: Storm Spirit has been added to the game.
