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.

Placement

• Totems are placed at the location of the cursor, at the time of skill activation.
• Totems cannot be placed in places which are marked as inaccessible by the map. If summoned on such a location, they will instead be raised at the first valid point closest to where the cursor was.
• Totems require line of sight to be placed. If an object is blocking the LoS from character to cursor, the Totem is instead placed directly next to the obstructing object, on the side that is facing the character.

Totem limit

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

• Amulet Idol of UldurnIdol of Uldurn
  Crimson Amulet(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

  Tier: 1Support Requirements: +5 DexSupports skills which can have a Limited number of effects active at once, increasing that Limit at the cost of their duration. Only applies to restrictions that use the word "Limit".Supported Skills have +1 to Limit
  Supported Skills have 50% less Skill Effect DurationPlace into a Skill's Support Gem socket in the Skills Panel to apply its effects to that Skill. You cannot have multiple copies of the same Support Gem socketed at the same time. (+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.
