change spawning power?

Hi was just wondering is there any chance Anet would change spawning power into something that could be even slightly useful, like some bonus while holding ashes? Don’t know if any primary attribute has ever been altered before either? Anyway TY if u could tell me
It's been quite a while since Anet released fac and they still haven't changed it. It's not likely to change.

it wouldn't work with Enchantment spells because it has nothing to do with spawning something.

I think it should be something like Soul reaping where you get a energy for spawning a spirit or something like 1 energy for every 2 ranks or something That sounds a lot like that one spawning enchantment spell (I forget the name of it atm and can't look it up).


Rits are already good with energy. What we need is to lower the energy cost on some spirits for pve (Players can keep up [save yourselves] without a problem but we can't keep up [shelter]? WHere's the sense in that?) as well as lower the recharge and maybe lower the activation time to 2 seconds on avg., 3 for the more powerful spirits. While we're at it, lower the health sac on those that do.

TL;DR: Make them more viabale for pve, period.

what they REALLY need to change is the Warrior primary, i mean come on. its not even like it has a effect to it Warrior's use there primary.

what they REALLY need to change is the Warrior primary, i mean come on. its not even like it has a effect to it A good warrior uses thier primary for the skills that go along with it, not for the armor penetration. [Primal Rage] says, "ohai."


P.S. I can kind of see where the enchantment idea comes from since many skills from spawning are enchants but still, it would not be the best idea that I've seen.

In the end I will just vote for an extra number of undead minions/rank of spawning power, it's SPAWNING power after all. PvE crowd happy, because they can make cool minion bombers, pvp crowd happy, because minions in pvp suck. That would be quite nice actually. More crap to blow up.

Still, spawning needs something to make it viable in PvP.

And it should be balanced so, that minions you get @12 SP are higher level then minions of a prime Necro. I don't understand why people would want to craft a class' primary attribute to make them better at playing to their secondary class. We'll ignore the whole Me/E fast casting thing, but with the exception of Mesmers, all other primary attributes support the primary skill lines. Monks get Divine Favour, which boosts healing power, Warriors get (bad example) armour penetration for attack skills, etc.

If Spawning Power was to be remodeled with Ritualists in mind, not Necromancers or Monks. Enchantment increasing is just going to see some popular builds get nerfed and have every 55 rolling Ritualist as their primary. I believe if Spawning Power is going to be changed, it should first of all affect Weapons and Spirits. Seeing as health does little, I'd suggest increasing armour rating on spirits with higher SP and possibly a 1% decrease in a spirits sac cost for each rank. The weapon stuff is fine, really, any more would just beg for nerfs which results in no ground gained. So the new Spawning Power could read something like:

For each rank of Spawning Power you have, creatures you create (or animate) will have +6 Armour, lose 1% less health through skill use and weapon spells you cast last 2% longer. Some Ritualist skills, especially those related to Spirit creatures, become more effective with higher Spawning Power.

Result: Benefits for spirits to make them slightly more viable, Rit MMs get the added benefit of studier minions rather than ones that have more health but result in the same healing.

Personally, I'd like to see an enchantment that affects spirits only which gives them a 1...10% chance to negate damage received. But whatever, wall of text over, that's my take on this situation. Spawning power, with these effects, would make spirits twice as sturdy. Useless for Hard Mode, maybe, but at least we could see their use a little more in general gameplay.
