It is only used in combat once it is placed on the hero's active bar, and its 6 s cooldown is before cooldown reduction.

Values by rank

Spirit Fist scales with Chaos Damage. Its value at each rank is 10.9 + 3.1 × rank:

Rank12345678910
Value1417.120.223.326.429.532.635.738.841.9

The value is the game's internal number for this skill.

in combat = round(value × skill power × max(0.35, hero damage ÷ 600))
hero damage = Attack + all elemental damage
skill power = 1 + 1% per point in the other Spirit skills + 2% per rank of each skill that boosts it

The damage factor has a minimum of 0.35 and no maximum. A hero with 600 damage and no line mastery or synergies gets the listed value; how it becomes damage or healing per hit depends on the skill's type and timing.
