these spirit creature spells that Rangers can cast, do they also affect the enemy? im asking this because yesterday during a mission, an enemy casted favorable winds creature and the icon appeared on the top left corner of my screen. therefore i also had the ability to use the effects of that spell. there was no other Ranger in my group and i did not cast the spell. so does this also works vice versa? if it does than what is the purpose of these spells when the enemy can also use them? sometimes i cast fertile season creature which grants 180hp for creatures within it's area. i mean, i dont want the enemy to also get 180hp as well.

i know for sure that if you cast heal area, everyone, including the enemy also gets healed if they are close to your area where the spell can affect them. this is pretty stupid. why not only allow your allies be healed, not the enemy as well?

Yeah, they affect all creatures in the radius, foe and friend alike.

What Valin said.

Also, monks have a Heal Party spell that (obviously) only heals your allies. It's more expensive to cast, and doesn't heal for as much as Heal Area, but it also doesn't heal your enemies. It's all about situations and choices.

Many of your spirit stuff is going to useful only to you, complimenting Ranger skills specifically. If you are up against a group that would benefit from it as much or more from that spirit than you, just don't cast it.

yeh what they said, Spirits work very well in PVP, as long as there isnt an enemy ranger on the other team, its as Valin said, about choice...
