Witch needs some quality of life changes. I'll start.

Dear GGG,

I would love it if i didnt have to equip a Skeletal Warrior Skill Gem in addition to the ones my Rattling sceptre gives me. If we could just allocate more spirit on the wand ability it would make Witch so much more fun. As of now its a headache, especially concerning Support gems.

Love the game so far.
Sincerely

Give Sorceress a teleport and remove Dodge Roll. Dodge Roll is for the unsophisticated classes who want to roll in the dirt while the elegant Sorceress should form into a ball of light and move away to a different location.

Spoken like a true person who can't dodge properly.

Rattling scepter is not the only scepter with spirit so your reasoning is moot.
Wands do not have spirit.
I want to say I had a focal with spirit but I am not sure.
Amulets and chest pieces can have spirit as well.

The reason the scepter has spirit is due to the IRL background of scepters. The were only used for ornamental purposes and was created encourage spiritual belief. Royalty or high end religious figures of provinces would have them. In many old world cultures they were used to anoint others.

Sorry, you think you are stuck with the oversized maraca. But you are not. There are more than just rattling

So how do you propose to replace a sceptre that has 200+ spirit on it ...AFAIK no other item can even get close to rolling that high.

But you are correct about the spell attached to it, though there are not many other useful options for that ...the rest categorically suck.

The poster specifically talked about rattling scepter. I gave option to use one of the other scepters. You also have other types higher you go in level. You are never stuck with Rattling.

Unless he restates what he means, this is a viable solution. Sorry you did not read their full post.

I did read their full post, you cant allocate spirit to the Sceptre is the issue, that part is true, so if you need more minions than the sceptre provides you also need to use a Skeletal warrior gem.

OP is right, we should be able to increase the minion count the sceptre provides.

Switching to another Sceptre doesn't solve the original problem all is does is uses up a skill gem slot that is needed for other skills in the build.

Have tested this myself, at level 85 with the appropriate Rattling Sceptre it gives me two minions which you cannot increase since you cant allocate more spirit to the weapon skill.

Only way around this is to use up a Skill gem slot with a Skelly Warrior gem to gain that control...Sceptres need the option to allocate more spirit to their minion skill.

So unless im missing some super secret option to do this .. OP is right the spirit system is currently ♥♥♥♥ and does need a QA pass on it.

Yes, that is exactly what i mean. I never stated any Spirit related issues i dont think? Hope they look into that at some point.

The Skelly warriors from the scepter do not cost spirit. Which is why everyone wants them. 2 free minions to sacrifice.

And you want them to cost spirit now? o.o so you can spent more on it?
