While the doll might not do the kind of damaged that a lv25 cutlass can, or a maxed out siege charge... it's still a really powerful weapon (and usually the go-to in PvP):

My suggestions:

(5/5) Attune. (Lets you attune either 3 friends to heal with 2 enemies, or the other way around.)

(5/5) Poke. (This might surprise you, but it recharges so quickly at this stage that it's like hacking away with a sword or dagger!)

(1/5) Swarm. (eh, I suppose you could pick this instead of poke... a question of taste, then.)

(2/5) Heal. (Your friends will thank you for this one, great recharge rate.)

(1/5) Curse. (with the exception of other players in PvP, whatever you're killing should really be dead by the time the curse wears off.)

(3/5) Scorch. (I put some points into this to try and make it useful... and by the time it recharges, it looks to me like it's done an extra 2 touches worth of damage. While you might not think that's a lot, it's definitely getting used when touch and swarm are both recharging and I have nothing better to hit with!)

(3/5) Cure. (I think it's really kind and noble to max out your healing powers for other people... but I chose to do more damage. Up to you.)

(1/5) Grave Shackles. (Now HERE'S one I wish I'd put more points into! In PvP, this becomes very useful for keeping people from running away from your attunement, and from if you want to switch weapons.)

(5/5) Life Drain. (Best. Skill. Ever.)

--Passive Effects--
(0/5) Focus. (A waste, especially once some of the voodoo staff passives are available)

(0/5) Spirit Ward. (It looks like it gives you only a TEN PERCENT chance to avoid an enemy voodoo spell when you've put FIVE POINTS into it... that's a little weak, and only worth it if you've randomly got five points lying around. If that's the case... give them to me.)
