Analysis

Offense

  • The key to this build's offense is that melee supports can both increase procs of Summon Raging SpiritSummon Raging SpiritSpell, Minion, Duration, Fire

  • Since the game is balanced around 75% resists and Raging Spirits don't resist anything except Fire, they tend to die a lot against non-Fire damage. In this case, Minion Instability helps ensure that we get at least a little value out of them.

  • This is definitely a defense-focused build. The offense is solid but not exceptional, and does take a while to spool up. If we want a more offense-focused build of this type, I would suggest using dual Ungil's GaucheUngil's Gauche
