Totems

Tooltip

Totems are allied constructs which use skills for you. Totems are not Minions and their skills benefit from your stats, though they have their own defensive stats and can be damaged or killed.

Totem Limit is shared between different types of Totem by default.

Totems are structures that possess certain effects, from the ability to cast spells to summoning entities that physically attack nearby enemies.

Friendly Totems can be buffed by the player and allies, using other skills or ascendancy passive skills like the Warbringer's Answered Call.

Totem limit

The base maximum number of totems is 1. The totem limit can be increased by:

• Amulet Idol of UldurnIdol of Uldurn
  Crimson AmuletRequires Level 24(2-4) Life Regeneration per second+(60-80) to maximum Life
  +(10-20) to Dexterity
  Skills have +1 to LimitWorship of house gods was tolerated
  in Oriath, so long as it remained private. (+1)
• Support gem (+1)
• Notable Ancestral Artifice (+1 to attack totems)
• Notable Watchtowers (+1 to attack totems)

This gives a maximum possible limit of 5 for attack totems.

Alternatively, the Ancestral Bond keystone removes the limit, but causes each totem to reserve spirit instead.
