Big spirit is supposed to increase the spirit's range. It does so, but only for the sync/shaman.

Mice are not affected in the increased range of the spirit because "their game is not aware of the shaman's skills". To them it's just a simple spirit without a change in its range.

It's rather stupid if the extended range only works on the sham and the object but not the mice.

has this always been the case and no-one's noticed? Or has it changed to be uneffective recently?

I'm just amazed no-one's noticed this before if it's been like this since release. I guess it's cos the people who are mroe clued up on the mechanics of the game are on divine/hardmode

I'm pretty sure this has always been the case.

I know I have had this same issue when using the anti-sirt to fly al the sudden I'm flying and the mice are sitting there crying.

I truley hope they fix this 'cause then more spirt jumping or I guess more like floating.

I personally thought the anti-spirit skill was nerfed.

me too,
but it could possibly be how the skills are being evaluated?

I just tested this.
It does indeed seem to be intentional that the spirit range does not affect mice. However, it's not the anti spirit that got nerfed but the spirit range. You can test this on a dual shaman map: If you spirit/antispirit in the extended range above the shams they both are affected by it but the mice that are standing right next to the shams are not affected. So it's not a sync issue, it's just the skilltree blatantly robbing our spirit range. I think this should be denerfed, I don't see a reason for it to be nerfed, considering the power of the rest of the skilltrees. At least mention it on the skill that it doesn't work on mice.

edit: Never mind, I think the second shaman that I used for testing also had the big spirit skill. I tested again with another shaman who did not have the skill and the big range only affected me, not the other shaman. So I think you can say it's not intentionally nerfed.
