 * Use Summon Spirits to teleport your spirits to you.

During the battle

 * Select the nearest spirit using the "nearest ally selection" shortcut key (should be "V" if tou haven't changed it).

=Notes=
 * Another tactic could be setting up spirits as a wall and then pulling mob into it, using rupture from remote. The counter is that you can't quickly select a spirit to destroy with the "neareast ally selection" shortcut, because you would select a teammate instead.
 * Please note that mesmer's skills descriptions (only Panic in this case) are not yet updated to what is currently in game.
