Should I use another spirit weapon?
I know Spirit Weapons aren't that good right now, but I still kinda want to keep using one. Right now, I have a Spirit Tower Cylinder for good Hydra Damage. This was when I was using Alchemy as my primary method of attacking. Now, I've switched over to Chain Slash, Archery, Puppetry + Alchemy. I've noticed I don't really use my Tower Cylinder all that often, so I was thinking maybe I should transfer over to a bow so that I can have a maybe cheap and decent bow?
Any thoughts and advice is appreciated, thanks everyone!

Spirit wands are absolute garbage since either: none of the raised stats give any magic associated boons (first generation wands) or the wand does not have chain cast (second generation wands). Also, spirit second generation wands' boosts to mana reduction, casting speed and magic damage are very minimal.
All spirit bows are meh since archery is finicky depending on far away from California you are. A Black Dragon Knight's Bow is an absurdly powerful bow that outdamages any maxed out spirit bow. The only good thing about a spirit bow is that a spirit Wing Bow has 2600 range which I believe is the farthest reaching bow in the game (don't quote me on this!).
Spirit Cylinders are pretty much the best spirit weapons since all the stats you increase will increase all four alchemy bonuses, essentially making a fire+water cylinder with none of the penalties.
ALL spirit incarnation attacks are outdated since they do a fixed range of damage.
Thanks again!
You're right on both counts.
A hurricane cylinder is ideal for rain.
According to the wiki, a spirit healing wand (both regular and tikka) gives a boost to how much you heal and decreases mana costs. The heal boost is +1 at (social) level 1and up to +11 at level 50. I'm not a healer but an additional +11 hp from a maxed out spirit weapon doesn't seem that much especially since we got that one update that adds 1 point of healing for every 5 Magic Attack you have. A spirit healing wand will also decreases mana consumption (-20% at level 30). Unfortunately, a Tikka Healing Wand can be upgraded to have a whopping -45% mana consumption which makes it a much better choice (and significantly cheaper!) than a spirit healing wand.
I personally would get an upgraded Tikka Wand.
CTC can't be Ego'd, according to wiki. If it could, that'd be hella powerful, but hella worth it.
Verdict on Ego Cylinders seems to be Tower for Hydra and/or Dungeons, regular Cylinder for all else; I don't think RC is affected by Tower (how could it? It can't be cast with the Tower).
