Spring of Life fixes part 2

Back in update 3 i made a topic about possible fixes for the skill spring of life. In the topic there were alot of great ideas and suggestions made. Well nothing really came from it though but a suggestion for spring of life was made when a topic about the new death penalty came up. It was said that resurrecting with spring would cancel it. That was implemented. Now this is not a topic to bash the new death penalty, i personally dont think its to bad. Problem is spring of life is still just a bad skill... Mainly because it brings the target back at 1 energy. Until it resurrects the target with a way to regenerate energy like it does with the health or resurrects with the energy the target had upon death noone will use it. It's better to just hit an idol and come back to full health with the energy they had.

Well onto some new possible ideas and suggestions to make spring of life worth using.

Number 1 suggestion. Probably the most basic fix. Resurrect with either full energy or at least the energy you had when you died. No one wants to come back with 1 energy. I'd actually like to hear OTM's reasoning behind spring of life only resurrecting with 1 energy.

My other suggestion. Get rid of the resurrecting factor of spring. Change it to an aoe that removes all negative status effects on all group members in the area of the spell including Curse of the Fallen. I still think it'd be nice for us to get a skill to remove negative status effects on others. Keep the level affected per skill point the same as is. Also give it a good 45 second to 60 second cooldown.

Feel free to post any other ideas you may have or talk about your strategies that have been successful with the live version of spring.

Not sure of OTM's official reasoning, but if a character resurrected with full energy, it would allow for nearly unlimited energy usage.

eg. A Mage has next to no energy, so they take a deathcap, and are resurrected by a Druid with full energy and no curse. Basically a loophole cheat.

I agree with you that something needs to be done. I think being resurrected with 50% or 75% the energy you had at time of death is reasonable.

Play a Druid, use SoL. Until then shut up and then come back. :x that issue had been fixed so go to the ranger forums and spam that. So please quit making useless posts on our unhappy energyholic Druid forum.

As for the OP SoL should work just like an idol with a 35-40 second cool own but keep how they have done SoL and hp as it is and the fact it cancels out the curse of the fallen. Also reduce the energy cost by 30% and I may consider using this skill.

Get a lvl 133 Druid, make it pure dps with all 4 dps skills at 34/30 except for swarm (35/30)

2 regens which totals 55 energy per tick. Now tell the whole Druid community we are not energyholics. Many many Druids can agree with me that we are energyholics.

Of course you didn't know it was changed, you don't even play the bloody game and just troll the forums. Get some experience before you make ANY post, I suggest you actually play and boss for 20 months before you make a comment and anything. Ffs I probably know more about rangers than you.

Oh and please please please find where I said "WE LOSE ENERGY NONSTOP"

FrostKnight, I have you as a foe bc most of the time you troll, let us druids be and go troll some other mmo. We have enough probs without you having to come in and laugh at us. You say you play the game, well go do aggy, with no druids, laugh at us then.
