summon raging spirit is a new attack skill in patch 1.0.6, which summons flying melee minions with both physical damage and fire damage. it can be flexibly linked to lots of support gems, such as added fire damage, minion damage, minion speed and so on. personally, the skill is a wonderful summoning skill in the game world. i list five reasons why i like summon raging spirit.
1. the maximum number
summon raging spirit can summon up to 50 skulls to attack enemies, which is the summoning with the most minions in path of exile. the stronger enemies are, the heavier damage the skill is. what’s more, a number of skulls are capable of protecting you from enemies’ damage like the body shield. to add skull amount, you can connect summon raging spirit with faster casting and increase duration.
2. flying
there is no doubt that flying skulls is its greatest strength in battle. the skulls can penetrate monsters and pass through some small obstacles. currently, the base movement speed of the raging spirits is the fastest of all summon creatures.
3. fast attack
as far as i’m concerned, the attack speed of skulls is faster than other summoned minions in the game. with flesh offering, skulls can quickly move to attack enemies in any place.
4. low mana consumption
level 20 summon raging spirit costs less than 25 mana, which is another reason why i like the skill. it can save mana to support other skills. for me, i need more mana to use aura skills. after summon raging spirit is available, my character has enough mana to open over seven auras. if you link summon raging spirit to spell totem, the consumption of mana is lower.
5. to immunize against all ground damage
as flying monsters, the raging spirits can be immune to all ground damage like chilled ground in the game. minion and totem elemental resistance can increase skulls’ fire, cold and lightning resistances.
