Template:Passive

Ancestral Bond is a keystone passive skill that raises the active totem limit by one. As a drawback, the character cannot deal damage directly with skills.

With Ancestral Bond, the character can only deal damage to enemies by indirect means such as totems, traps and mines, or minions. Reflected damage will still be applied, but Tempest Shield skill iconTempest Shield and counter-attacks like Reckoning skill iconReckoning will not do any damage.

Effects that require hitting or critting can still be used directly, such as that granted by Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Blind" or Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Power Charge On Critical", so long as the effect is not scaled by damage. Elemental status ailments will not be triggered by direct skills for this reason.

Location

Ancestral Bond lies on the far left of the tree, behind a cluster of 4 basic totem passives consisting of Totem Attack, Cast Speed and Damage, Totem Damage, Totem Life and Resistances, and Totem Placement Speed.
