Quick question about Devouring Swarm

So the base 25% Attack damage converted to health (ADCtH right?) is only for the damage done by the skill right? I tried to test it but that healing is so small I cannot notice it against my normal health recovery.
Also is there a way to control activation of turtle shell or Ghoulish hunger?

Yes, the ADCtH only applies from the skill.
There is no way to control the Devotion skills, they are passive skills.

Yes, it is only for damage dealt by devouring swarm. More specifically the vitality damage.

If you allow your health to drop to the activation points, yes. But no, you can’t reliably control their activation.

The life steal is only on the swarm. Since the swarm spreads to so many enemies, the heal you get is actually massive. Bosses are very resistant to it though

You can kind of control them. Turtle goes at 40% hp. So if you attach it to an ability which isnt always on, when you use it AND are below 40% hp then turtle will go off. It will not go off if you dont use the ability it is attached to

However this is pretty pointless since if you are 40% hp you dont want to have to activate something to turtle, just put it on some aura you always have on and it will always go off

Ok thanks for the info. I only have 1 aura now but by the time I get turtle I should have atleast one more. it will probably be a very long time before I hit it.

If you get turtle before a second aura you really want, just put 1 point in something and attach it there. Then re spec the point later. Devotions have to be on a skill to get exp and level up. Plus turtle is life saving you’ll want it on something for sure
