Question about Spirit

[Suppor✝Meister]

Can i get it as a fighter and have minions?

Everyone has some Spirit, and you can get more Spirit from gear and probably from the skill tree. Remember, Spirit also powers Auras and things like Arctic Armor.

Edit: So yes, you should be able to have Minions with a Melee build. Personally, I'm going to try my hand at a Ranged + Minion Build; get my Blood Raven on. :p

Cool. I don't like witch ascendancy so i am going to pick marauder and do a channeling/minion build since i like it's ascendancy tree more. Can't wait!

Wasn't there an item off hand the witch equipped in her showcase video that had spirit on it?

I think there was i am just not going to pick the witch. Since i don't like her ascendancies. There is no minions really in those two so i'm better off picking marauder (Just my personal opinion)

It can be done but remember it also matters where you are on the passive tree compared to minion nodes. So the marauder will have to waste a lot more skill points to get to the minion nodes then the witch.

Its entirely doable, but if you want to make a spell casting marauder it will be far more difficult.

True iknow but thanks for pointing it out. My main damage will be from minions so i just take defensive notes meanwhile on the way to those minion nodes.

Scepters can give spirit.

Yeah, it'll take a bit longer for the minions to really take off, but there are Minion nodes in the Str/Int part of the tree. Plus, you'll still want to pick up a number of melee/armor notables as you traverse the tree. Going Druid or Templar would make things easier, but they won't be available on Friday.

I'll be running into a similar issue with a Minion Ranger, but I had 1 or 2 of them in PoE1, so I know what I'm getting myself into. :p

Minion ranger sounds fun aswell. Im just worried about your defense stats. But guess you go evasion

I don't like the two ascendancies on the witch. Since i not feel they are for minion builds.

They definitely aren't for minions, Infernalist unequips your weapon when you use demon form.

You might be able to make something work with Warbringer, but Titan would be even less useful than the Witch ascendancies.

Oh! sorry! didn't mean it to come out like you had to play the witch, just meant I think there might be an off hand anyone can equip for more spirit ^^

Good times.
