Template:Gem InfoboxSummon Raging Spirit is a minion spell that temporarily summons a flaming skull that charges at enemies and attacks them.

Skill functions and interactions

Flying monsters: The Raging Spirits are flying monsters, meaning they can fly over small obstacles much like projectiles do. However, they cannot fly over larger obstacles such as Frost Wall skill iconFrost Wall. They also can't be damaged by ground effects (Burning ground, Chilled Ground, Shocked Ground and Tar). Flying monsters will not block the pathing of non-flying ones - they can walk under the fliers.[1]

Damage conversion: 50% of their physical damage is converted into Fire Damage, similar to the bonus on Infernal Blow.[2] Raging Spirits have no weapon, and thus do not benefit from Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Weapon Elemental Damage".

Targeting: Raging Spirits cannot be targeted directly by enemies. However, they may be damaged by stray projectiles and area of effect skills.

Minion Instability: Raging Spirits are affected by the Minion Instability keystone. They do not explode if their duration expires; only when reduced to low life.

Strategy

Damage auras

  • A level 20 Anger skill iconAnger grants 72.1 additional average fire damage to Raging Spirits (taking into account the 70% damage effectiveness).
  • A level 20 Hatred skill iconHatred grants 36% added cold damage, for an increase of 131.48 on a level 20 Summon Raging Spirit.
  • A level 20 Wrath skill iconWrath grants 85.75 additional average lightning damage to Raging Spirits (taking into account the 70% damage effectiveness).

Hatred therefore has the highest damage contribution. It also benefits from increased physical damage modifiers on the Raging Spirits, unlike the other two. However, other possible beneficiaries of the aura (such as the player) may also need to be considered.

Support gems

Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Melee Splash" and Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Multistrike" generally outperform Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Minion Damage". Although the Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Minion Damage" affects damage from Anger skill iconAnger and Wrath skill iconWrath (and the explosion if Minion Instability is used), Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Melee Splash" and Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Multistrike" give significant bonuses to melee physical damage in addition to their side benefits.

Like spells, Summon Raging Spirits scales strongly with level, making Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Empower" a strong choice.

AI

Raging Spirits don't behave like zombies or spectres, but they pick their targets independently of your actions (attacking usually the nearest targets while zombies focus their attack where you attack). It can be useful to help other minions focus their attacks on enemies near you instead of enemies somewhere far away because they'll prefer attacking enemies that the spirits are attacking.

Maximum Spirits

With the base cast time of 0.8s and base duration of 3.5s, you can only summon up to 5 spirits at a time, as the first one expires just after the fifth one is cast. The attributes that will improve max spirit count are Cast Speed and Skill Duration.

D: % increased Duration (from all sources)
C: % increased Cast Speed (from all sources)
E: % More Cast Speed (from Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Spell Echo")
Formula:
[3.5*(1+D/100)] / [0.8/(1+C/100)/(1+(E/100)]

which simplifies to:

4.375 * (1+D/100) * (1+C/100) * (1+E/100)

and round up to get the maximum number of spirits reached.

Example calculation: If you have 90% increased skill duration, 40% increased cast speed, and 50% more cast speed, you would use:

4.375 * 1.90 * 1.40 * 1.50 = 17.45625 -> Max spirits is 18
Formula for Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Spell Totem":
3.0625 * (1+D/100) * (1+C/100)
