Fair enough. Personally im using a GS as a secondary (sword/pistol primary). I like the Berserker better then the warlock personally, and it actually deals more AoE damage then Chaos Storm. The knockback is also great on a melee character (sword part) because it allows you to punt their front lines towards your own group, separating them from theirs and signing their deaths with one move.Staff is also an excellent defense weapon, swap to it, pop chaos storm, jump out of it with your Phase Retreat (2) .
That actually depends. A good Jihad buid can pack one hell of a punch without relying on phantasms (thats when you build around a high clone generation and shatter damage.)As for using clones only as bombs, this is kinda poor thinking usually.
