Hello. I have a question about the synergy of ascension skills with pets. For example, if I attach an Elemental Storm to my Hellhound, does Elemental Storm get a damage boost from the pet’s damage bonuses?
As far as I know, the answer is no. Elemental Storm is not a pet, so it will not get any pet bonuses. It will scale with player bonuses.
If it were a pet, it would be clearly indicated within the devotion, like in the example of Bysmiel’s Bonds - it summons a pet, who scales with pet bonuses.
EDIT: Corrected the name of the devotion and clarified what I meant.
Huh? Bonds of Bysmiel doesn’t summon any pets. Base gives pets more health and also energy regen and Manipulation gives them more total damage and speed.
It does.
Any devotion proc bound to a pet scales based on the pet’s stats.
This is incorrect.

Wait. If the player has 2500% elemental damage, and the pets have 1200% damage. The Elemental Storm devotion, if bound to Summon Familiar or any other pet, will get pet’s 1200% damage boost and not player’s 2500%?
Correct.
But since pet builds tend to focus on Pet stats over the player’s offensive stats, it is not an issue.

@Maya What about the conversion of devotion procs from one damage type to another. For example, if I bind Maul to Skeletons, and have 100% physical damage converted to vitality to pets. Does that mean in this case Maul will also be converted to vitality?
yup, correct

Sweet! This changes how I’ll make my pet builds from now on. Thanks for all revelations and clarifications!
