When to skip Spirit Burn
It needs 500 Spirit Damage on one enemy within five seconds to trigger, so kits that deal little Spirit Damage rarely set it off.
Gotchas
The mechanics people most often get wrong about this item.
- 20s immunity per target means you cannot reapply it repeatedly to the same enemy
Problems it answers
- Healing and lifesteal — “They keep healing back everything I do to them.”
- Unkillable frontline — “I cannot kill their tank.”
