When it 1st came out, the description said that spirit is 4 times less effective for PvE compared to PvP.
But now the description says that Spirit is only effective against players.

The question is simple.
Is this new description messed or, in fact, spirit is not working for PvE ?

    40 Spirit should equal to 1 atk/def level vs mobs and im pretty sure it work in pve. Since i started grinding sky levels on an alt of mine, without upgrading passives or gear he started to hit harder on currently ~1000 spirit compared to zero before.

    So yes, im pretty certain spirit work in pve

    I'm actually curious about this... I heard 10 spirit = 1atk/def level, but that may only have been for players. This 40 = 1atk/def level vs. mobs figure is a new one for me.

    But either way, I've only ever heard it mentioned here on the forums. I haven't noticed any nerf in PVE damage since the tooltip was changed, so either it's wrong (like so much other text in PWI) or spirit was never linked to PVE damage to begin with. Can anyone else confirm?

    "In PVP roughly 10 spirit is 1% more damage and 1% less damage taken.

    PVP Spirit Damage = (1,000 + Attacker Spirit) / (1,000 + Target Spirit)
    damage dealt = raw damage dealt * (PVP Spirit Damage Amplification)

    In PVE spirit is 4 times less effective so 40 spirit is 1% more damage and 1% less damage taken. All mobs have 0 spirit.

    PVE Spirit Damage Amplification = (4,000 + Spirit) / 4,000
    PVE Spirit Damage Reduction = 4,000 / (4,000 + Spirit)

    damage dealt = raw damage dealt * (PVE Spirit Damage Amplification)
    damage taken = raw damage taken * (PVE Spirit Damage Reduction) "

    It's a wiki, so can't be sure it's true or still actual.
