Noob question, please

Build guide recommends using "earth spike launches spikes in a line and has a X.x second cooldown.
I have equipped this and all it seems to do is slow my spirit generator down a hell of a lot due to the delay.
So question is why does the guide list this? Seems a backward step.
Thanks.

I can be wrong but it seem a late build when this cooldown be at 0.5s without cooldown reduction

My skill has a 1.1 second c/d but without that aspect it has zero c/d so as fast as i spam it with no c/d it generates spirit. Seismic shift aspect seems to be a backward step?

it is only better if you are using cooldown reduction or nature’s fury with a storm generator.

Ahh i see that in the guide, thanks a lot for that, i will drop it for whatever i think is good for me at lvl 83. BTW enjoying standard trample/landside build while waiting for that not to be spoken helm to drop.
