2. ⚔️ Key Skills: Eviscerate, Mortal Blast, and Hex
- ✅ Eviscerate: Damages in a frontal area; deals 25% additional damage when hitting enemies from behind. The Spirit Hunter should be treated like a cleave machine.
- ✅ Mortal Blast: Main AoE spell that spreads Spirit Shred to nearby enemies if the target already has it. It is recommended to upgrade to increase damage and reduce cooldown when the target has Hex.
- ✅ Hex: Main filler ability that should be prioritized when available. Increases debuff damage by 25%. It should be upgraded to reduce its duration and cooldown.

3. ✨ Support Skills: Inspiration, Reconstruct, and Galvanic Evisceration
- ✅ Inspiration: Provides more passive essence generation, resulting in more commands and smoother rotations.
- ✅ Reconstruct: Allows you to heal the pet when it takes a lot of damage.
- ✅ Galvanic Evisceration: Reduces the target's magic defense by 15% for 6 seconds and applies three stacks of Shocked, which increases damage. The debuff duration can be extended up to 15 seconds by hitting again with Eviscerate.

- ✅ Amplify: Increases the pet's damage by 25% for 10 seconds and doubles its essence generation. It should be upgraded to Recharging Amplification to reduce the cooldown when consuming a stack of Savagery.

04:08 - 04:44
7. Equipment and Next Steps

- ✅ The creator invites you to comment to request single-target DPS build guides, PvP summoner builds, or a breakdown of the rotation.
