What's up with Spirit?

[[:-:]]

I have 30 spirit from some boss I killed, I have Herald of Ash in skills, it says it reserves 30 spirit. Can't use it: nuff-nuff Spirit. I can't reserve all of it or what's up? If that's how it works then it's not clear from any description.

[Zerg]

Make sure your not using a support skill that adds more spirit.

[TheWashableBomb]

Yeah, you can use all of it. Something else is taking up spirit. Or it's bugged.

I also can't figure out how Harald of Ash works. I can't tell if it's enabled. My spirit doesn't appear to change either way and I don't see anything in combat that makes me think it's working.

1. Make sure to not have a support gem added to it since it might increase the spirit requirement beyond 30.
2. Right-click the ability on the ability window (instead of dragging it to the action bar).

Sorry, brain-lagged, I somehow expected it to change in skill description. Yeah, I had a support for +10 spirit

The devs should probably add a better Spirit gauge. Right now its not very clear how much of it is used already until you mouse over the indicator.

Huh?!?
It literally displays it clear as day without needing to be moused over.

I suppose it's part of the options menu that allows you to see your life and mana all the time, but why wouldn't oyu have that always on?

Yeah, but to be fair, does it even have to be there? Are people managing it with hotkeys or something? What do you get from seeing that, we're not in PoE1 where you lose buffs on death and have to rebuff every time, so that could help you notice you forgot to rebuff. It could probably be more clear if it was just a straight line in your skills window.

It probably wouldn't even hurt to group Focus-reserving skills in a skill window

I mean, if you die in this game, your buff from Spirit does go away, and you need to recast it.

Yeah, I was confused by the guy saying it doesn't exist unless you mouse over it.
I would think everyone turns on the life/mana etc display option

Mine doesn't. I believe that was even a thing said during some announcement way-way back, that all the reserves persist through death.

From watching ZiggyD, that certainly isn't the case.
He's died a few times, and every time it's turned off.
Unless Ziggy's got the only buff that wears out on death.

Using 'Cast on Shock', no support gems. reserve 60 I have 60. Still not working.
