goat, reduces cooldown for tankbuster,mystic shot,express shot everything

better than ballistic in most situations,but with how fast you get charges ballistic weapon dmg per stack gets some use

skip if they just parry you constantly, overall great item,the stun the bullet res+shred
Boundless Spirit
Built from Improved Spirit
rushing this is not needed,get earlier if out of slots or smthing
Spirit Burn
i'd just buy it if there is some1 who needs a massive amount of antiheal. it's harder to proc now
Mystic Reverb
A LOT MORE DAMAGE!
Scourge
works sometimes
Ethereal Shift
Rapid Recharge
Built from Extra Charge
this can really stack crushing fists really f-ing fast
Diviner's Kevlar
Ball just got buffed and Divine Kevlar aswell so if yk what you're doing with ball it can be a good option
Warp Stone
mostly for ball
Bullet Resilience
i buy this if there are 3-4 people that do bullet damage,plated armor is a better choice however more expensive
Colossus
could work,i don't use it personally
Indomitable
i just buy this if a wraith is molesting me
Echo Shard
eh? idk cube might work on it, i dont use it
Slowing Hex
apollo,calico=,holiday,infernus counter
Counterspell
Dispel Magic
Knockdown
Arcane Surge
longer duration on ball,cube etc
Divine Barrier
Plated Armor
works good vs infernus haze drifter wraith,just a better bullet resil but more expensive
Witchmail
expensive but the cooldown reduction can go bonkers sometimes
Spirit Resilience
if you're dying to a lot of spirit damage
Cursed Relic
im getting this 70% of games to shut down most people,the damage penalty now only applies once you use it so it's nice
Phantom Strike
flying people shutdown
Guardian Ward
Enchanter's Emblem
eh
Spirit Shielding
i would say enchanter emblem is probably better than this with the added spirit power but this could work if facing heavy burst dmg, then again resistances on viscous are eh,just buy counter itemsa
Healbane
I HATE HEALING !!!
