I like how spirits in PvE now has very low casting time, since that makes them useful even at the start of a battle.

However ritualist heroes have one issue more with casting them: They tend to cast all the spirits in the same spot.

My suggestion: Make heroes spread out the spirits they cast so that a single AoE spell won't whipe out all the spirits at once.

Done.

Try playing PvE with spirit heroes, and then try to flag each of them each time they cast a 3/4 spirit. During that, use skills on your character so you kill stuff.

Tell me, if you succeded.

I already flag them. Would just be nice if I did not have to do that :P

just so you can randomly spam skills and not care the outcome? you shouldnt have to watch your heroes at all. let alone flag them! OH NOES.

flagging = problem solved. stop being lazy.

Step 1: Flag ritualist heroes back
Step 2: Take initial aggro/damage
Step 3: Ritualists and spirits alive

I've been running spirit spamming heroes all night, all you have to do is flag them back a bit and take aggro. It's as simple as that.

Learn how to deal with the enemies you face. There are ways to prevent monsters from casting those AoE spells on spirits your heroes may be using. Either use them, or learn how to manage aggro when using heroes. There are times you may want all the spirits in one spot, so if the AI was made to force the heroes to spread them out, you would complain that they couldn't set them all together.

If you have a problem with hero AI, it is either a lack of knowing how to use heroes or a bug that should be fixed. I don't see any bugs with them at this point. Your idea basically sounds like: "I'm too lazy to micro my heroes to act different than the AI makes them, can you change the AI to fit my needs so I can get things done easier?"

Not even monsters spread them...

Not that it matters much. With the increase in levels, they have way more HP and armor, and now spirits are the last thing standing after a fight.
