The Spirit Feedback and Discussion
What are your thoughts on the spirit?
Here's my take on her after exclusively playing her since her release and already having her at P3:
Firstly, I think the nerfs after the PTB were unnecessary.
You now can hear when she is using her power and know exactly where she is due to directional cues. Survivors can't tell if she is using her power only if they are within 8 meters of her husk. In my opinion you should not be able to tell that at all.
She was already quite bad and I think this nerf was unjustified, she is all about jumpscares and mindgames anyway to those nerfs really hurt her and got rid of the scare factor.
I also think her base kit should be better but her addons should be nerfed to make up for it.
Like faster activation of her power, longer duration, speed and recovery and a bit longer sprint after phase walking by default. She is really addon dependant which isn't good.
I also think she should be able to use her ability as long as she has charges. Having to wait 20 seconds for the ability is such a bad thing. If you mess up your prediction of the ability you have to wait a long time until you can use it. The long cooldown of her ability really punishes her if she misses. Other killers have 'forgiving' abilities without cooldowns but if you fail to make a read with the spirit you get punished really hard.
In addition, she should lose sight of survivors if she has channeled the bar of her power completely, not at the start of the channel.
Also, her ultra rare Ring addon is super bad. Not being able to see scratch marks is never worth it for the faster speed in phase walk. You are better off using any other addon for more speed or something else. The "tremendously increased movement speed" just isn't worth it because of the downside of not seeing scratch marks.
IMO it should be reworked to allow the spirit to pass through pallets and windows when using her phase walk. Or just give her faster activation time and lunge after coming out of phase combined with more passive phasing. Kinda like the purple amulet addon that does more things at once. And please get rid of not being able to see scratch marks when using this addon
Also, her 'passive phasing addons' should get an additional active effect like faster recovery or something else because these addons really don't feel impactful on their own (tested it in KYF) and you don't see their impact when playing as the Spirit.
Whats your opinion about the spirit?

Do not know why they shadownerfed her either, but I've heard that they are "planning" to buff her in the mid-chapter patch. A couple of month from now.

Just with the sound, I can determine her location so easily that I manage to pallet stun her regularly. Its just a bad joke and I feel with the spirits I verse....
