Shenlong's Spirit

Shenlong's Spirit

This Monk weapon set rewards you for keeping your Spirit pool full. As long as you have maximum Spirit, your Spirit generators hit noticeably harder, and even below the cap your damage scales with every available point. The catch: in this peak state you continuously burn Spirit and your passive regeneration pauses until your pool runs dry. This creates a thrilling tightrope walk between maximum damage and looming resource loss.

Since it's a two-piece set of two weapons, it combines superbly with a full armor set, for example as a pure damage lever. In practice you want to stretch full-Spirit phases as long as possible: deploy generators and Spirit-restoring sources so your pool briefly climbs back up before it dries out completely.

Two alternating phases

The bonus works in two parts. As long as you have Spirit, your Spirit generators deal 2% more damage per point you have. Once you reach the maximum, all your damage rises by 350% – but from that moment on you lose 65 Spirit every second, and passive regeneration stops until the pool is empty.

It follows that the larger your maximum Spirit, the longer the 350% phase lasts. At the same time, the generator bonus shrinks with every point drained during that phase. Once the pool is empty, the build-up phase starts over. Spirit you spend on other skills during build-up delays reaching the maximum.

Two fist weapons

The set consists of the fist weapons Shenlong's Fist of Legend and Shenlong's Relentless Assault, wielded together in both hands. If you hold a duplicate of one, Kanai's Cube can convert it into the missing fist weapon.
