Honestly, she was a beast. She really just devoured 90% of the content up till that disconnect. I had been even trying not to twink her any didn't hand down any gear. Only used gems of the same quality as ones I saw dropping. Had no extra pages on crafts so was entirely dependent on what she found herself for that too. Even with that she just ate through everything. It was like a meat grinder the way she chewed through mobs. The only things that ever gave her trouble would be especially hard hitting mobs. Like on Act 3 nightmare there were those big abomination looking guys. I had a champion pack of those that I believe were extra health+something else. There were moments there where too many things ended up on cooldown and popping my mantra wasn't quite enough and so I had to back off and wait some before charging back in. On that pull I felt like having the spirit gaining rune on Winds would have possibly made me able to keep up with the damage with mantra better. So I was wondering if I would have to do some kind of swap like that when it came to hell. I also considered dropping Seven-Sided Strike for another cooldown of some sort, but I seem to enjoy the character a lot less with Thunderclap on the mouse. So since I have to keep that on the keyboard it really limits my option there. But if I can get used to that then that would be a place to potentially put another spirit gaining skill if I seem to need it or another cooldown if I need one more to hold me while the others tick down.
Overall she was a lawn mower though. Both her weapons had life on hit and she could just bounce around killing everything with occasional mantra pops. So spirit was never an issue during those times. I do wonder if it would become one later though.
Edit: I'm actually trying to look at the disconnect death as a good thing. This time I'm going to go even more strict with the no twinking. I've set aside 4 rows of stash space for her and I'll toss any gems/mats she finds there and only use strictly what she finds herself even for that. Maybe it will slow her some, but I am highly highly doubtful. I'm expecting her still to eat through mobs. We'll see though.
