Counters
Kill the spirits, (target pain.) which is required to trigger health benefits of spells
Interrupt health casting spells.


A Mesmer using 'Diversion' would be the most effective counter

You could add recuperation and life/recovery (depending on environment like in 2 vs 2 life isn't handy) for the spirits, and an extra energy managment skill. which would make it alot better. because... 16 resto 13 spawning heals more.

Also, imo binding chains and spirits won't work too good, (ends on dmg, spirits attack random)
Counters are typical anti-caster builds.
Meaning backfire, diversion, interupt,dazed, energy-denial. (and spikes)

Also casting spirits takes a while, and you can't heal while doing that. So the interupt spirit is both a good and a bad thing.

Yeah binding chains is tactical.  It stops people from running off or following you and shuts down melee characters. With good team play and a little luck with your spirits targeting anyone using speed buffs to escape will be in for a nasty surprise

Having energy hidden in weapons helps against anti energy mesmers

Long cast and recharge times is a problem

Backfire and Diversion would be an exellent counter.  I don't like hexes
