Summary

Spirit weapons!

 

Hey all, this is a build for spirit weapons using speed rune to gain mobility.

 

Im using the hammer and spirit hammer for a ton of CC and then switching to GS to deal the pain needed.

 

I run this in some team comps but mainly in solo Q.

 

While its not massively new I feel its a nice build to start playing again.

 

Enjoy and you can find the video soon in the videos section or google Jebro for youtube channel.

Weapon and Skill Details

Just some info on spirit weapons:

 

Try to use the hammer activate when you need to CC a high dps target mainly, its good for bunkers too but its got some nice damage.

 

Also the hammer does 3 hit chain the 3rd being a knock back. The activate does and AOE knockdown as well.

 

The bow removes a condition when firing at an allie and also does a large AOE heal where it is situated on activation. The sword does a standard hit of about 1.5k damage as well as an AOE at its location on activation of a base 2.5k but I have hit with 4k on a single target.


II. Traits
