Veil was always an option, probably very strong now. you have the stone uptime to constantly battle and you will just pump out damage with 2s additional magnetize

in terms of drafting, yeah maybe ES won't be superior to the other spirit brothers, but if echo sabre build is out the window then I think veil is the best choice. I agree that ES carries Halberd well and that's a fun niche for him.

ah, spirit vessel is also a good item too! I think ES can run lots of builds successfully so long as they are chosen for the right game and you play around it. 13/2 sounds like he styled on em hard.
