I have to say this is a nice downside. Before, 2 totems was just an issue of mana flasks but now it's a real opportunity cost.

Couple of questions (patching is taking forever AND I'm getting error messages)
- it says "skills" so I assume I can still normal attack right?
- what about passive skills (tempest shield)
- what about dots (PA cloud, viper strike)
- what about traps

Yes but only until that's fixed.
Yes
Ah, I see I see. So, is it your intention that AB only allow traps and other minions to deal damage. I wouldn't want to build around an exploit, you see (like what happened with auras and weapon swap).

Ty for the quick response.
The wording says "You can't deal Damage with your Skills yourself"... does that mean that we can actually use skills, but they won't deal damage? I'm primarily interested if Tempest Shield can be activated if you have this keystone, since besides damaging your attackers it also gives you a block bonus.

EDIT: found my probable answer of "yes it can be activated but it just won't deal damage" in this thread. It really freaks me out that there are multiple posts per skill in this forum, unlike the gem forums.

Yes, you can still use skills, they just won't do damage directly - only via a totem, trap, mine or minion.

For example, you could use frenzy to gain frenzy charges, just not to kill things.
How about crit effects? (freeze or shock?) In my opinion, you nerfed it too much ,especially with nerfed totem itself. (I hope it's because there is some unique with +1 totem)

Hello,

i would like to know if AB would work with Elemental Equilibrium. It says: Enemies you hit with Elemental damage... Does it mean i can ie. shoot Firestorm with no damage to a cluster of enemies and still gain -50% resistance for them to kill them with ie. Lightning Totems?

Thanks, Jan

If you dont deal damage, crit effect would last exactly 0 seconds.
Unviable build tester.

To modify your emphaisis, it says Enemies you hit with Elemental damage...
If you're not doing damage, you're not doing elemental damage.
I read [punishment] is making a comeback. Is the damage from that from you, or are mobs doing damage to themselves?
