Skill functions and interactions

Fortify: Linking Fortify Support to Ancestral Warchief will cause the totem, and not the player, to gain Fortify on melee hit. This appears to be the way for a totem to have Fortify and with the Ascendant Champion Node. Totem can gain Fortify with a 14-20% chance when it stuns an enemy while wearing Perseverance.

Multiple Totems: Melee damage buff does not stack when multiple totems are summoned.

Totem Attack Range: The range at which the totem strikes is affected by the weapon range of the equipped weapon and modifiers to weapon range.

Area of Effect: Modifiers to area radius affect both the range at which the totem strikes, as well as the radius of the attack.

Activation: The totem is active as long as the player remains within a 80 unit radius of it. Initial activation also requires line of sight with the player, but this can be broken once the totem has become active.

Item acquisition

Ancestral Warchief can drop anywhere. Drop level: 28.
