...Until they kill the spirit. Which isn't hard, from the playing I've done with it.
It'll be effective as anti-spike for a little while, but it shouldn't be long before the spike groups adjust. At least the good ones, anyways.
And with a 60 second recharge, it may slow down one spike salvo, but the next couple will be unaffected. The recharge can be shortened, yes, but it'll still be too long to be continuously active against a decent team.

But ya i do get your point, i have a very bad feeling that spirits will not play an overwhelming roll in factions, what with all of the easy spirit killing tools available (such as unnatural sig) it can easily be killed, of course the fact that you pretty much have to kill it is in of itself defense enough.

You can also put up ward against foes to 'buy you time' against another team as spike. The entire concept of this and all other spirits is to work under their effect. Otherwise... you NEED oath shot. The entire existence of elite spirits (which there are several being introduced) is plain crap for any kind of organised combat. Make them all unelite, and they still wont get used by 90% of teams, since you have to dedicate an entire character to get what is often a utility effect, which isnt that hot under fast moving battles, where you can be out of the range of a spirit in no time via opposing/your own pressure.
the fact that spirts tend to die pretty quick can be countered. Serpents Quickness+Ritual Lord is very effective, and Soul Twisting is great as it allows u to effectively spam one ritual over and over with very little down time.
Shelter completely hurts spike in anyway, and Union does brilliantly against pressure.
