      Lightning Scroll

      Kinetic Dash

      Built from Extra Stamina

      very good item but becomes kinda obsolete once you have spellslinger. if you don't want to rush spellslinger then you should probably get this when you max 1

   2. 2

      Spirit Lifesteal

      you deal a lot of spirit damage so good item (duh). not in main items anymore because reactive barrier is too good and because you gain spirit lifesteal from spiritual overflow
