My thoughts

Im still lowkey displeased at being super reliant on 2's T2 giving 40 spirit, its not okay. anyways forced gun investment now since mysshot has insane scaling now and we're buying SSB, so might as well buy another gun item (if only rend was better...). OPRounds because it gives spirit, but you can buy stalker after spirit strike instead. // I really like overflow, i have a hybrid build built aroudn it and the buffs made it dummy strong if you want to hybridize your damage. // May be more worth it to buy Boundless spirit over Reverb in some games, so keep that in mind!
