Offensive Support Defensive Support Energy Management

Equipment

 * +60HP Staff, other staff upgrades don't do much. Inscription is up to your choice because the build doesn't really benefit that much from them. "Aptitude not Attitude" is the best choice, but not necessary.
 * Full Blessed/Shaman's
 * Vitae runes, best vigor you can afford.

Usage

 * Cast spirits before battle. Keep in mind Soul Twisting can be queued easily.
 * Avoid using Displacement if attacks aren't a threat.
 * Always use Shelter before Union.
 * Armor of Unfeeling should be used after spirits are summoned.
 * Maintain your spirits' health with Summon Spirits for as long as possible while they are under the effects of Armor of Unfeeling. If they die and need to be recast, the new spirits will not benefit from a previously cast Armor of Unfeeling.

Variants

 * Additional offensive Communing spirits.
 * Bringing only 2 defensive spirits (usually Shelter + Displacement) can save space and help not to run out of ST charges.

Counters

 * Spirits affect minions, making the use with a minion bomber inadvisable.
 * Enchantment removal.
 * Spirits dying from AoE.
