how does this skill/signet work - Guild Wars Forums

Hi all,

I'm a bit puzzled on sogm(Signet of Ghostly Might) effects and usage.
I've read wiki check pvxwiki on this elite skill but I may not be understanding any of it how does it work?

This is what puzzled me and made me ask a question that may be daft:
The effect is applied on skill activation on spirits within range. It is not applied to spirits summoned and/or brought within earshot after skill activation. source:http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Signet_of_ghostly_might
So how does it work is it lay your spirits hit sogm but if sogm recharges 1st it wont do nothing on spirits alreadyy there?
Btw I'm a noob ritu used to play ranger 5years ago now i've come back as im done with CoD

and wanted a refresher

Thanks in advance

What you need to do is put all your spirits down and then use SoGM afterwards. SoGM will apply the listed affects (+damage, +attack speed) to the spirits.

SoGM,'s effect is applied once to spirits in earshot range that are controlled by the caster. If the caster's spirits are already under the effects of SoGM when the caster reapplies it, then the duration of the effect is renewed.

So you'd want to summon any spirits before activating SoGM, or move them or yourself to earshot range.

Think of it this way, shield up = sogm and your party members = your spirits. It work exactly the same way. Only those within earshot when the skill activate will be affected by it, not those who are rez or enter earshot range afterward. Hitting it again would just renew the duration and only to spirit you controlled.
