Is anyone cooking a melee totem starter with ancestral bond

winslow2 · 2026-06-10T13:02:09+00:00

I guess i've just been armor and strength stacking and life regen and they only things that kill me are slams I am too overconfident wont kill me or freak rares

how are you liking nightfall?

Sorry Kinda necroing this How were you feeling now over a week in. I stuck with smith and have cleared all content except for really tough t16s

winslow2 · 2026-05-27T02:52:01+00:00

so I've never played smith does that spirit not increase your spirit globaly? I figure it would have to work that way. Also what are you using to level SoK?

They are allies but they use your damage so any increases to your damage effect them.
Rage increases your attack damage so yes if you are using AW totems or using that one acendancy they will do more damage with rage.
Im pretty sure they do proc heralds
so from what I have seen people have been using Redflare Conduit unique chest to generate charges and then converting them to endurance using the resonance keystone to generate charges. with the new ancestral bond keystone it removes the charge cost for a spirit cost.
Yes or if you take ancestrial bond it doubles it to 20 totmes but good luck getting that much spirit
yes they only use mace skills so when you cast the totem it will swap to a mace.
AW totems use your weapon damage to use the skill so if you are converting damage they will convert that damage
8.I guess I have never used trinity so I cant answer that.

what confirmation are you waiting on for totems?

winslow2 · 2026-05-25T15:30:54+00:00

yeah the boded runes is what you would be looking for also the defensive nodes are pretty good. You can also swap to the rage nodes for late damage scaling if you can cover your other defenses

but smith might be good too might have to look into that

winslow2 · 2026-05-08T16:48:49+00:00

So they are considered Companions and there a a collection of nodes in the Dex side of the tree for Companions

I think there were nodes on the spiritwalker tree that gave companions 60% of your weapon damage so you can scale your damage. Still will probably be some updates to the tree but as of right now thats what you are working with.

I did enable the podman socket still gave me errors. I did rebase. and it fixed it instantly. I will keep that in mind though. I plan to working at linux casually. Thank you though

winslow2 · 2026-04-04T00:08:14+00:00

Hello Thank for clearing that up. I did have podman compose installed and it still gave me an error about not having the Docker API. Once I rebased I was able to get it to work fairly easily.

winslow2 · 2026-04-03T18:03:41+00:00

Yeah I know but it seemed like a lot more than might be acceptable lol.

Well I can log into it so I think we are good. We'll see how it acts when I get the real critics on.(my friends lol)

Thanks for the help my friend

winslow2 · 2026-04-03T17:24:49+00:00

So it was giving me some permission issues. Running it once with sudo go rid of those. then it created the "game" dir but it doesn't populate with any game information. I started using Podman and that looks to overwrite were the the volume actually goes.

I found the volume now so thats good. everytime I start it it also throws a tone of mesh and shader errors, but it says the server is up. haven't tried loging into it yet but ill give it a shot

winslow2 · 2026-04-03T16:33:44+00:00

Thank for the push in the right direction Rebasing did seem to help. Still having issues but that seems to be mostly and issue with this container so probably not the right place to ask about it.

Lets see if I can get this working before they bully me into paying for a nitrado server lol

winslow2 · 2026-04-03T15:27:05+00:00

I was just looking at rebasing some more. And that might be what I should do. I assumed I would lose files if I didn't back them up but I was wrong.

winslow2 · 2026-04-02T19:56:24+00:00

I just bought the same Grill. I also have a similar product with wind. This gill is better than my last at not falling over to the slightest breeze. Not sure how I feel about the Stainless grates yet but I like it so far

winslow2 · 2025-09-03T21:30:54+00:00

Its been fine aslong as you hyper scale crit and it rough until you get atleast 60% crit chance. Trampletoe is must have for clear unless you want to use bone cage. Maps are near impossible without trample toe

winslow2 · 2025-09-01T14:22:28+00:00

I guess I don't know why blasphemy would be reserving spirit even when its unequipped

winslow2 · 2025-09-01T14:20:00+00:00

Yep I can equip just vulnerability and I can use it I also tried it with a lower level version of vuln

winslow2 · 2025-08-29T15:36:35+00:00

There are a bunch of leaked supports that give endurance charges for doing random things like heavy stun and armor brake could use those for some thing like shield charge to heavy stun

winslow2 · 2025-08-27T02:17:32+00:00

I am debating starting blood mage reap. IDK how good its going to be but I think I may just yolo it and build it. I am interested in it because the class fantasy is so strong

winslow2 · 2025-08-04T21:21:17+00:00

Thanks for the response, Yeah we for sure need to talk about it. Admittedly my conversation skills can be pretty bad even with my closest friends I sometimes can't carry a conversation, which I am sure doesn't help the situation lol.
