Weapon and Skill Details

I went with double dogs because of the CC, but pet choice is pretty much up to each individual.
Only using one spirit since that's in my opinion the only really useful spirit, stone spirit is also good (who doesn't need protection?) but I didn't find it to proc when I actually needed it.
Using Troll Unguent instead of healing spring because I want to be able to move freely around while healing and still get the full effect.
