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.
May 08, 2018	Increased chance-on-hit from 75% to 100% and reduced burning duration from 3 to 2.5 seconds.
November 07, 2017	Increased the number of targets affected by the Sun Spirit from 5 to 10 targets.
October 18, 2016	Fixed a bug that caused rangers to lose access to their Solar Flare skill in certain situations.
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. This spirit's boon now applies 2 stacks of burning for 3 seconds.
July 01, 2014	Fixed the description of the spirit buff to remove the might on hit chance.
April 15, 2014	Fixed a bug that caused the spirit to have a 3-second base burn when triggered by a projectile.
December 10, 2013	Reduced the passive burning from 3 seconds to 2 seconds.
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 Sun Spirit's skill fact to include the burning proc duration.
November 15, 2012	The tooltip for this skill now displays the proper burning time of 3 seconds.
August 28, 2012	Game release: Sun Spirit has been added to the game.
