General Discussion - Ancestral Bond + Brands - Forum

Any ideas whether the 2 will work together? Technically you arent doing any damage yourself, the brand is, similar to traps and mines working with it. Theorycrafting some single target Brand setups to go with a totem setup! Last bumped on Dec 5, 2018, 9:02:55 PM	Posted by Nubman#6211 on Dec 5, 2018, 8:17:40 PM Quote this Post
Brands are not a seperate entity from you, they are an ongoing spell effect. Saying you aren't doing the damage is like saying orb of storm is doing the damage, or that the bolt of lightning from arc is doing the damage. As Mark_GGG posted on Redit: " No, they very much are not. Totems are an entity which casts spells. Brands are a spell - to the extent they exist in the game world, it's only as a visual effect. They're fundamentally something your character is doing. They're like a fireball, not a totem - a spell in progress, as cast by your character.

Ok fair enough. As I said, i was comparing it to traps and mines, as they are a unique skill that is not technically coming from you, but from the brand. Good to know i guess.	Posted by Nubman#6211 on Dec 5, 2018, 8:47:12 PM Quote this Post
