Anyone else who still uses the Spirits?

Prior to nerf, they were practically unusable in blob fights but was extremely strong in 1v1. I like the fact that the Elite Spirit now provides stability which can be helpful when fighting a lord inside a keep to avoid knockback, fear and other cc's but during blob fights it is close to being useless so I just switch it to Entangle. I still use the other small spirit trees to proc their condi's with my shortbow.

PS:

I just don't like it that there is no change with the attitude of a lot of commanders toward Rangers. One time, I was on my Firebrand and when I switched to my Ranger, the commander called me out and demanded me to switch back to FB, when we are lacking any kiting potential. They were really into moving like a school of fish and the enemies were attacking us from all directions. And I don't think I will be reflecting any of my damage back to them because I was not using a Longbow.

Dev:Can you please move it to Rangers? Thank you.

The spirits are used heavily in Raiding. Useless skills for PvP, tend to be the PvE focused skills where free will targets won't be able to just blow through something.

I like Norn Bear Spirit the best

Ranger in wvw is limited reason spirits isnt used un zerg is spirits are fragile and rangers aoe is not great and aswell you arent helping playing a skirmisher in a zerg

I used to use them all the time on my main Ranger build until they made their health deplete over time.

I don't like how they work in their current form so I don't use them anymore.

As Runiir said, Spirits are heavily used in PvE Raids. It's pretty much mandatory for any healing Druid to have them for use in those raids.

You are aware that OP talks about ranger spirit skills not the norn elite right?

I know ppl using them in raids and thats it. A wish they would utilize them better. I would even like a tlme treatment. Scrapping them completely and adding them to a e-spec instead.
