Finally back to playing this game after Avowed, and I'm finally playing a SC priest for the first time, settled on Woedica because the writs looked interesting.
I couldn't help but notice that the summoned weapon seems to do a lot of damage? I'm not on PotD but I've been noticing as far as just auto attacking goes, I'm doing pretty similar single target damage to martial builds, which is neat considering I'm a caster. The first writ seems suspiciously strong due to the engagement (you can just pull your party members out for free without any disengagement attacks?! I feel like there's lots of tricks with just this lol, that fight with the drake on Port Maje was VERY easy with this build, easier than it's ever been), and I'm level 5 now and just curious how I could possibly maximize this kind of approach of casting a couple of writs, then buffing myself/party, then punching things. I like punching things. I've only got about 14 MIG, but I just about maxed out dex, per, int.
I'm pretty sure monastic unarmed training doesn't work with the spirit weapon, but is there anything else I need to know? Any interesting items or combinations I might not be thinking of? I noticed that the lash on the spirit weapon seems to be raw damage which I thought was pretty neat, too. There's just so many items in the game, and I've never experimented with spirit weapons prior to this so I'm not really sure what would be good.
