Ancestral Bond Build

It 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 Tempest Shield Tempest Shield and counter-attacks like Reckoning Reckoning will not do any damage.

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