Public Poll: Spirit Siphon Target-able?

Anyone think you should be able to have Spirit Siphon target the allied spirit of your choosing?

If you are body-blocked, can't move because you are under pressure healing in a tight fight, or have some other dis-advantage, you can't choose wich spirit you want to siphon energy from. Not only that but the spirit would end up losing all energy so you would gain almost nothing the next time you use it.

I think it's best if you can target the spirit you want but that's me.

It does have advantages too. If you are under pressure as stated before, you don't have to worry about looking around to find a spirit to target, you just hit the button and gain your energy.

I'd like to hear your thoughts.

You can already target the spirit of your choosing.
I don't have a rit or a slot to test but according to wiki:

Signed.
Its bugged right now , if you are hitting someone the skill targets the spirit near to THAT target ,not to you. It should work like spirit transfer or make both skills work like :
"target spirit <whatever those skill do> , if no spirit was targeted you use nearest spirit available"
Or something like that

Fraankly plenty of Rit SKills are bugged now (leet that creates 3 spirits too)

That is the intentional effect however.

^ Not what he's referring to, he's talking about the spirits themselves, which don't acquire targets half as fast as the other spirits. Vampirism used to be that way too.

On-topic - I don't use the skill. If it's bugged, fix the bug. If they made it targetable, I might take it along.

i have a rit i use this skill all the time
even in pressured situations if u know how to move and play u'll never have energy problems
oooo and one other thing
stuck away from ur team/spirits?... fighting a ranger or enemy rit? use ur skill near them it takes their energy... doesn't have to be UR spirit :P

Yea, but how often to Rangers bring spirits? Besides sometimes in PvP and only special/farming occasions in PvE?

I'm fairly certain it used to be "target spirit", and it was annoying as all hell to have to hunt for and target a spirit in the middle of a fight to get your energy boost and then reacquire your target.

much more useful with its current function IF it actually did the spirit near you and not near your target. Granted all you have to do is F then press the skill, but its still a bug and should be fixed.

With the way it SHOULD work its extremely easy to manage.

I missed the 'I dont care, but have it your way'-option in the poll ... i dont play as a rit, but if its a problem that rits think needs fixing, who am i not to support this

Binding rituals are broken anyways. Super long cast times and expensive in PvP, WAY too fast in PvE (3/4 should NOT be binding rituals, neither should 1sec. They should have made the old 3 stuff 2sec, the 5 stuff 3sec. Why not make all corpse making stuff faster then too? Also you can't even slow down binding rituals, since they aren't spells).
