Final Thoughts / Update Notes

11 March: Adjustments based on games I've played. Ult nerfed, oh well, still strong. Hate Viscous, should probably re-add Anti-Melee cat. Will think on it. ok bai \\\\\ 6 March: WHOA MCGINNIS REWORK FOR MORE TURRET SPAM YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS -- I gots TESTING to do! Here's the initial thought changes: Gun hella weak, considering readding imag or titanic mag. Wall turrets funny as hell, mystic slow that much more useful now. No more stuns or stamina drain means CC much more important, so replaced Anti-Melee cat with Utility cat. BUCKET 3->2 MEANS STAMINA MASTERY BACK ON THE TABLE!!! More changes to occur over the weekend as I adapt to all patch changes. Stay tuned. \\\\\ 4 March: I hit Eternus 1 :3 Replaced Escalating Resilience with Disarming Hex. Felt more in line with the whole spirit build vibe. Removed all wall upgrades but ap1, maxxing specter faster.
