Ancestral Bond

Ancestral Bond is a keystone passive skill that raises the active totem limit by one. As a drawback, the character cannot deal damage directly with skills.

With Ancestral Bond, the character can only deal damage to enemies by indirect means such as totems, traps, mines, or minions. Reflected damage will still be applied, but and counter-attacks like  will not do any damage.

Effects that require hitting or critting can still be used directly, such as that granted by or, so long as the effect is not scaled by damage. Elemental status ailments will not be triggered by direct skills for this reason.

Location
Ancestral Bond lies on the upper left side of the tree, behind a totem and brand cluster near the Spiritual Aid minion cluster. It's right next to Runebinder.
