even tho id not recommend
id take Raving slash and hh over cursed jail if cursed wouldnt be glitched (uses all the time just 1spark) which is extremely beneficial aswell as possibility to cancel pre-cast
as for life hunter 100% better than 1.4 (spammable effect and dmg )
cotd no doubt
elimination= better control over target
so no, other than getting raving slash, no point
using 1.4 ones places u at big disadvantage
can get around cursed jail missing but the rest nah
