@TTHJJD100 2 ай бұрын

Two things I would say for geist in my own personal builds. Grabbing reach and leveling out her 2 actually lets you 1v1 people often. Able to run down squishier targets early on or shut down certain heroes escapes in teamfights given she has no hard cc and only slows. Her bomb does quite a bit of damage with burst and her gun with headshot booster means she can clear npc's quite quickly without having to max out her 1. I still agree with her having very very strong farm with her 1 maxed out but I haven't felt the need for it early on.

Improved burst is such a bait. At the point that we usually buy it, it deals LESS damage than the 500 burst. And the NPC damage item is so underrated on her.. make so she can be more aggressive for 2 trades on lane and makes her push so much more faster..

@eskie-gaming 2 ай бұрын

What NPC damage item are you referring to Monster Rounds? Also what item do you prefer over Improved Burst?

@dfasdfgdsfdf588 2 ай бұрын

Improved burst is extremely good because your daggers will start proccing it in endgame

@vikenzo3703 2 ай бұрын

Man I was wrong, I tried on the sandbox but I forgot to up her skill to do more than 125 damage 😂😂😂 That's why improved burst wasn't working! Nvm my commentary! But the Monster rounds is really good. Those creeps deal a lot of damage in the lane phase, and the red allows to ignore some of that when going all in to trade with her 2! I'm not sure, but I think that the damage also increases damage to the guardians, walkers and shrines.. need to test that in the sandbox later!

Thanks for the guide. Ive messed with Geist builds a lot and I skip Berserker a lot... it probably has good synergy with her but I like Kinetic + Warpstone too much. As for the spirit series... especially getting Boundless Spirit, if you get it too early it's more harm than help. It makes your Q damage to yourself (2x ratio) way too high. Definitely need leech or high spirit steal first.

Love the advice! My question is whether or not you rate Ammo Scavenger on Geist. The ammo refund is great for farming/denies and you can easily get 28 spirit early for only a t1 item. My big qualm with it is that it's sometimes too much spirit, because it increases her bomb damage by 28 but increases her bomb self damage by 56 thanks to the 2x multiplier. Is there such a thing as too much spirit early, before you get the spirit armor?

@eskie-gaming 2 ай бұрын

I think your reasoning is the same as mine. I think too much spirit early on can be bad and negatively affect your ability to stay in lane. Between enemy harass and your self damage, Geist can be pushed out of lane if you're not careful. The tier 1 items I like to buy have at least two of three between tankiness, damage, and sustain. For example, Mystic Burst gives you spirit shield, extra spirit damage, and weapon damage. Restorative Shot gives you bullet resist, sustain and weapon damage. I also try not to buy too many Tier 1 items because that delays your Tier 2 and Tier 3 itemization.

@yungebola5524 2 ай бұрын

Geist is so much fun, when the enemies don't have high mobility, but I just struggle to deal with such heroes without bying something like a slowing hex, and playing against vindicta or grey talon is so much pain, when you cannot even get in range of your abilities. I suppose it's simply because i'm new to this game (but not to mobas in general), and not knowing the right itemization or positioning against such heroes is what causes me to lose against them more often that not .

@eskie-gaming 2 ай бұрын

As of the newest patch, unlucky release time I guess, Healing Booster now has 15% Heal Reduction Resist and Leech was nerfed to no longer have the 30%. I feel like this would change the need for leech a lot, would you still call it core/buy it immediately or switch to another item.
