Vaal Absolution?

Hello,

How does Vaal Absolution work?

I have made another socket on my helmet (red) and assigned Vaal Absolution there, once I have summoned with Absolution 3 Sentinels and Vaal Absolution ready and trigger I Vaal Absolution but nothing is summoned.

Does Vaal Absolution have to be linked to Absolution for it to work?

Thanks.

It shouldn't summon anything new it will ascend one of your Sentinels to a stronger one if you reach the limit on ascended sentinels it will refresh the one that already ascended.

And no you don't link them twice the base skill is included with Vaal Absolution.

In Youtube videos I have seen how the top of the bar of the 3 sentinels one is taken away and a stronger got its own icon that does not happen with me.

Furthermore, the load remains at the Vaal Absolution below still on 1 :/ it looks like nothing would happen.

Can you see that somehow visually?

PS. In youtube videos you can see how one of 3 is taken away and gets its own icon with lifebar.

EDIT:

This is how I do it, I get 3 Sentinels with normal Absolution then I trigger Vaal Absolution but nothing happens and the load still stays at 1 with Vaal Absolution. Even if no more enemies are killed.

The Vaal Absolution gem includes both the normal Absolution skill and the Vaal Absolution skill. You need to remove your separate Absolution gem, and use the Absolution skill included in the Vaal gem to summon your initial sentinels. Then you can Vaal Absolution those and ascend them.

If you summon sentinels with your separate normal Absolution gem, your Vaal Absolution skill won't do anything to those since it's not the Vaal gem that summoned them.

Worked, is there any support that work with vaal absolution?

Looks like people use Spell Echo, Phys to Lightning, Minion Dmg etc

The same supports you support Absolution with work the same way with Vaal Absolution. In your case, both your normal sentinels and your ascended sentinel are all being supported Elemental Focus and Faster Casting. Now you have a free red slot. You could stick an Empower gem in there, or maybe a Cruelty. Something useful for both your use of the skill and the minions.

You'd likely be better off having 3-blue in a 4l setup, as there's more blue gems to choose from that would be more useful.
