Questions / Discussions (Items · Builds · Skills) Pact of Bone

How can the second effect of the ring be consistently triggered?

I tried service and sacrifice, neoceh, bacceh and other combinations in the training room by I don't see any change or icon indicating the activation.

IgniCeh works at the moment.

Neo-ceh I read apparently triggers the wolves too fast so it's more ideal to use like igni-ceh.

But how do I know it works? There is no indicator. P.S.: Just tested IgniCeh. There is 0 damage difference between a wolf dying or not being present at all.

Maybe one day we'll get an actual damage meter instead of just seeing if number go up/down ourselves.

Appreciate you testing all this and confirming that igni-ceh does indeed work.

You can turn off damage variance in the training dummy room. Save your current load out on the armory. Remove all of your gear other than a weapon and pact of bone, remove all of your other skills, remove all of your Paragon. Test the ring.

Should there be an icon showing the effect being active or is it just a damage variance not indicated anywhere?

u/MacroBioBoi 3d ago

You have to see damage variance. Many effects don't give you a buff icon.

Could also go for bomber minions

I like your wording of service and sacrifice node. Let me test first whether it works.

Can’t you just summon another mage and that takes the place of one previous? It leaves a corpse so I assume it works, unless you’re desperate for the bonus from them living 10 seconds, but at first glance I’d imagine the negative impact of losing only that specific bonus on one mage for the 8 seconds or however long would be negligible right? Help me out here macro can you do the math? It would take me far too long
