Spiritual guidance

I think it needs a rework, yes it works ok now, but unless you use it before combat it's pretty useless other than an agro-breaker but even then its ify. Even if you get it before the fight you still have to wait for that delay before the creature decides to assist you. I think they either need to rework the AI involved with that skill, or make it last longer. If ti lasted longer with a longer cooldown I'd be fine with that. At least then the skill would be worth using more. Also the creature should be able to follow you just like if it were a pet. I don't think what I propose is too op. In fact I think its how the skill would be perfectly balanced. Lets hear some feedback, but trolls need not respond. I want serious MATURE discussion.

I think it is fine as is. I know a few druids who can use it to their advantage, like in HoS, you can friendly one of the mobs in a group and the others will auto target it and probably kill it. It doesn't have much use aside from that. It would be cool to see it implemented in PvP somehow, maybe reducing attributes of an enemy player. I do agree that it needs some reworking but not a full on change the skill.

Make it to where upon death of the allied mob, it explodes doing X amount of earth damage, or a % of its HP damage to those around it.

Or, when the mob is under the guidance thing, make it have boosted defense and HP so that you are able to pick off the guys around it while the others fight that mob.

I do like the after-effect mechanic to it you suggested, if we can't have it as a true ally capturing skill as it was meant to be. And yes like I said, I understand when it is useful, but those instances are few and far between, and honestly these days, if you used it in HoS they'd probably kick you out of the party. Back when HoS was actually hard it was good to use. Now it's a waste of time, mana, and will piss off people already working to burn down your target cause you now effectively wasted their time when the mob's hp resets to 100%

Spiritual Guidance is used constantly in ToSh. It's a pretty useful skill and fine as it is.

I'm constantly using Spiritual Guidance in ToSH. If you think its irrelevant, then you havent seen a knowledgeable druid use it in KT, GCH, and ToSH. Its fine as is.

Like Whooty said, its fine. Other than the lvl 50 druid/scout elite, I want Runewaker's attention *away* from Druids. Don't mess with our stuff.

I agree with Borella, WhootyHho, Ciclofurioso and Ravensden...Spiritual Guidance works just fine. If only we could get a CM,GM, or FM to close and burn this thread before a skill killer sees it, .....

Quoted from "WhootyHoo;526843"

NOW with that being said... I cant wait to try the tosh hard set skill with it

How does this Tosh H set go with it? Heard from a (quiting :/) druid on my server that the dmging part of it is pretty useless, but only heard this once from one person...and I want other referenses (btw - does it really take 15mil to extract the ISs?)
Oh and ya - its uber useful for Tosh + GCH..(who runs KT these days ;)
Druid on my server (kyrda- Osha (btw she quit)) used to use it to (apparently) clear all the trash up to 1st boss...which if you havn't done Tosh H is alot.
