Spirit Walker is an Ascendancy class for the Huntress.

Overview

The Spirit Walker has received the blessings of the Azmeri spirits, taking the form of three different animal spirits. Vivid Stampede summons Vivid Wisps while moving, which take the form of stampeding Stags on attack, Primal Bounty periodically grants Primal Owl feathers when dodge rolling that grant extra projectiles on your next attack, and Wild Protector summon a powerful bear companion to your aid. Each of these spirits can be further enhanced, and taking all three grants Sacred Unity, which grants a bonus to all three spirits. In addition, Idolatry grants additional bonuses for each socketed idol but penalizes you for having non-idols socketed, and The Natural Order allows you to tame even the strongest Unique beasts.
