the good old Rit Lord+BoC spirit spammer does wonders in AB. just go near a shrine, cast anguish+bloodsong+pain+optional spirit, than hex foes with Painful Bond and watch the show.
can pretty much solo shrines like this and also defend them pretty well. especially if your optional spirit is shadowsong/dissonance and your 8th slot is something like Blind was Mingson or arcane echo(for painful bond)

yes it can solo shrines and yes you can defend until a mob comes along and you're toast, all you can do then is run.
It's to slow IMO.
RA and PvE (with summon spirits) works.

One use i've found for offensive spirits recently is against destroyers. It's surprising just how much damage 3 spirits with painful bond can do. Augment their damage with skills like nightmare weapon and you can take down a high level foe extremely quickly (think 6-7 secs for a lvl30 destroyer of flesh, even with the recent fix to inner fire).

Any area in PvE where you are defending a position or are only taking on a few very strong foes at one time and spirits work great. If you have to start moving with them then it gets a bit slow but with fast casting spirits it shouldn't take more than 10 secs to set them up. You could do that while someone else gets the aggro.

I did a load of skill capping recently and i'm not much of a support player (i like to do the damage myself). I had to cap from Mungri Magicbox so had to go as Rt/Mo and i took a spirit build because i was feeling lazy. Was kinda fun watching the spirits tear him to shreds cutting through almost all of his protection. They quite literally obliterated him.

Spirits are immune to weapon spells. Are you using it on yourself or something?

Yeah, i meant just use it on yourself so you can throw in a few decend wand hits between other skills. I usually have channeling @ 12 if i use a spirit build which gives 126 life steal from one nightmare weapon. Not bad for 5 energy.
