How is Druid post patch? (PVE)

[bbop.9706]

Just curious to hear from anyone that has tested new spirits in a Raid or Fractal situation.

 

From what i saw they are very fragile, can be cced and knocked and will give Druids a rather annoying amount of micro management.

My impressions in T4 fractals:

+ Passive boon range is way smaller now, and players, while moving, go often beyond it.

+ They die way more often than pre patch

+ Active boon is now a joke, because you can only use it every 20ish secs, bringing first the spirits to your position, so you expose them to more damage.

These new spirits...while less outgoing boons it feels like (still hold perm 7 boons in raid anyways) are amazing! 100% uptime just remember to use active for the spirits. ALSO druid now have a damn personal heal with water spirit active

 

Edit: so far the only thing ive seen able to kill spirits fast is stuff like hands at deimos and pretty much any high aoe dmg which isnt a problem if youre paying attention
