– In early levels, you'll use this often to generate Spirit and increase your Movement Speed. As you progress into higher levels, it should primarily be used on Bosses and Elites to apply the Poison DoT effect.

– As a channeling skill, there are use cases for AOE and single-target damage. For example, you'll get more AOE damage the longer you channel the skill. To ensure you are not wasting strikes on inanimate objects, keep the channeling for single targets to a lower channel time, e.g., 2 to 4 seconds.

– Wolves will passively exist by your side, taunting and attacking enemies at their own will. Save their Active casts for striking Elites or Bosses.

– The Passive effect from Poison Creeper is constantly poisoning enemies around you, allowing you to benefit from the Slow in . Save the Active cast for when you are surrounded by enemies.

– Use on cooldown. The damage is amplfyied now with the Stormcrow Aspect, so it should pack a punch. We are also wanting to apply its Vulnerability to as many enemies as possible. To that end, we slot Tempers that increase the area of effect and attack speed.

– While you'd probably get by fine using this skill on cooldown, it does come with two notable benefits to consider. On cast, you are provided with a surge of Spirit as well as an Unstoppable effect, which makes things a little more complicated. Above all, though, you'll most likely be using this for the mobility and the Unstoppable, so prioritize those uses.

This guide is confusing. It seems to blend together 2 different builds...one that uses companions and another that doesn't use any companions. The listed skill bar and skill point allocations have no companions but the guide talks about using companions.

Can the people that made these fix the "This is how you should level your skills up" feature?
