So, about that spirit kill/steal skill of Gobbets...

[Wrathwyrm]

That work yet? Last I checked, that was a NO, which kind of irritates me. I mean, I can live without it, but you're depriving me of malicious laughter as I turn my enemies against one another.

control spirit skill worked on the release patch, unless they broke it in the recent patch it should still work (used it in the Bad Qi mission)

regardless, it's more or less useless anyways since summons are so rare, and AI have ♥♥♥♥ stats so they go berserk within the round

[Darth Hernia]

No idea mate. Maybe the new patch had fixed it? Did you read the patch note?

If I remembered correctly you hardly run into any oppurtunity to use them towards the later parts of the game. So once I found out that it was bugged I just promptly swapped out Gobbet for the rest of the game and forgot that they were there...

I read the patch notes and I think that would be covered under non-specifics, if it was. So basically...opt in and test it out?

The kill spirit ability worked just fine for me in patch 3.0.4. I haven't tried it or the steal spirit ability in 3.0.5 yet though.

[Mauman]

Just tried using it about 30 minutes ago in the bad qi mission.

It applied a stolen debuff and then did nothing. Spirit remained red and attacked me the next round.

So yeah. Unless I'm missing something, avoid this ability for now.

The kill spirit ability is tons more useful.

It just instapops a spirit, and while there are only three places this is actually useful, its still nice to have. Especially on Bad Qi mission.

[socialautiste]

It seemed to work for me a few days ago. I remember I used the spirit steal skill to get back control on a spirit I'd summoned after I lost control of it (so I stole it from itself I guess). Haven't used it any other time.

Yeah, but I can kill spirits pretty easily. This was for FUN.

There seems to be some disagreement on this thread. How dod you account for that?

Steal spirit only works on summoned spirits. The ones in Bad Qi are BOUND spirits.

I suppose killing them is overall more useful, but swiping an enemy's summons seems more Gobbet-y.

Yes, it does, doesn't it? So, if that's the case, shouldn't it say that it missed? I get notifications of "Spirit Stolen". If you are right, then the bug is in the message, rather than the effect. Someone should point that one out.

[steelcoresoviet]

Yes, agreed. Powers should accurately reflect what they do.
