On my current build, I have Wayward Soul and Giant’s Blood both unlocked. Both activate on me being attacked, but I only have one defensive skill. What I’m wondering is, if I bound Wayward Soul to IEE, will it still activate or does it have to be bound to a defensive skill like Maivens?
It presents you with a list of skills where you could use it. Yes, it will work on IEE. You need a permanently active aura or buff, there is no such thing as “defense skill”
Defensive skills are the opposite of offensive skills but thanks for the clarification.
What matters is how the game interprets these skills, they are all toggleable buffs.
