Build Overview

Spirit Walker will have insane Twisters using Owl Feathers.

The issue is that you have to dodge roll, and that means you have to use Whirling Slash three times after (you cannot dodge after Whirling because you will roll out of range, cancelling the Whirlwind). This key vulnerability is the biggest problem to overcome, as it is otherwise a completely crazy damage, and clear output.

The idea is to stack Skill Effect Duration enough to extend the duration of Twisters past 2.67x3 seconds (8s), so that while you are doing the vulnerable Twister combo, the previous Twisters are still around and clearing (or at least Freezing) monsters. With full duration, your Twisters will last 8.5 seconds with the setup below.

Once you have a lot of Skill Effect Duration, the rotation becomes:
While keeping up Ice-Tipped Arrows, Barrage -> Dodge (3 feathers) -> Whirling Slash x3 -> Twister

If you do not have enough Skill Effect Duration, you will need to Barrage after the third Whirling Slash, making things more difficult to time well.

Defensively, we stack Deflection damage reduction to achieve over 60% DR, and companion damage transfer to 38%, or 41% with a perfect corrupt on Starkonja. So while the life pool is low, very few hits will land through Evasion, and those that do will be reduced by 80%. Once the defenses are in place, this character will be extremely tanky.

Weapon set 1 = speed
Weapon set 2 = damage

Skill Effect Duration Jewels are mandatory. This affix only exists on Ruby and Sapphire Jewels. Ruby Jewels have far fewer suffixes, so they will be much easier to obtain with this affix.

"The Taming" Ring is insane for this build.

There is a new rune "Cadigan's Epiphany" which turns a rune socket into a Jewel socket. This is great value and should be used for a fourth Skill Effect Duration Jewel in your gloves or boots.

Starkonja is totally crazy, do not use a rare helm over it. Upgrade it to gain more evasion and free Runic Ward as it's below level 55. Try to corrupt for 18% damage taken by companion, this is a massive survivability boost. 150% Evasion on low life is highly synergistic with Ward.

You may choose to use Parry instead of a Scepter for the offhand, as you will not be repeatedly attacking during boss fights.

Mark and Spear Stab are only used for bossing and tough Rare monsters.

Unless you have a lot of mana regen, keep your Whirling Slash at level 1.

Use Loyalty and Last Gasp until you acquire the Bear's Lineage gems.

Use Frost Nexus on Twister to create Chilled Ground if the Shocked Ground from the Stag is not cutting it.

Salvo is a good choice for Twister if you have very high damage and just need more coverage.

Skill effect duration is very important. Ruby Jewels have the fewest suffixes, thus offer the best odds of obtaining this stat.
