Voll's protector Holly chainmail



Why doesnt this give a charge when you crit with a spell? It should say something about it like, gain power charge on melee or physical crit?

edit: i use this with 2* ice spear totems and never got a crit

this is my build:

You have to deal a critical strike yourself, because the bonus of Volls's Protector only applies to you. If your totems crit, nothing will happen.
If your totems crit, they gain a power charge. They loose it immediately because totems have 0 max power charges. You need to get the crit to get the charge.
That brings an interesting thought to me...

Is there any intention of changing it so totems can get charges? It would be a cool interaction and I don't immediately see how it could be too powerful.

Technically, they can get Endurance charges. They can't get frenzy or power charges, not because it'd be too powerful, but because it would have no effect - they can't possibly benefit from having them.
The totem is using your skill, meaning it casts/attacks using a skill backed by your stats, not it's own. Thus frenzy charges on you affect the cast/attack speed of your skills (including those used by the totem) but those charges on the totem can never affect anything.

What about as a resource? When I first tried Frenzy + Ranged Attack Totem I expected the totems to gain the additional physical damage and attack speed per Frenzy Charge, but they couldn't gain any themselves so it couldn't work work. I then tested what would happen if my character itself gained the Frenzy Charges but the totems still didn't gain the bonuses. Is it intended that it shouldn't work either way?

Edited for clarification.
same name in-game

Are you sure? I mean, when totems were implemented I was one of those who reported them getting pow charges from voll's, and it was 'nerfed'. You see, I dunno if they were getting the stats from the charges, but they totally could get charges in the past.

Is there any intention to add alternate methods of obtaining Power Charges?
When fighting bosses I'd like the ability to maintain the charges I get from Power Siphon without needing to commit to a particular unique item.

If you have frenzy charges, the bonuses apply to your skills, including those used by totems - this does work, and has been tested. If you have frenzy charges, the totems attack/cast faster, and if you have power charges, they crit more.

Yes, totems used to be able to gain those charges in the past. it was disabled because they couldn't get the benefit from them, so having them visible was confusing.
