If you're sidelane with good farm priority, you can go for a more M1-focused build with Spellslinger and Overflow. If you want to play more actively early/mid, go Spirit with Torment Pulse, EShift, and Overflow. Witchmail can also be good in the right games. Her build is very flexible, so both Spellslinger + Overflow and full Spirit can work. Build according to what the game needs.
