I’m using these skills : Storm Totem, Wind Devil, Lightning Storm (granted by Squall relic), Olexra’s Flash Freeze, Reckless Tempest (devotion) and Summon Briarthorn. Could you please tell me which of them can proc the Unmake skill granted by Tome of Names offhand? Thanks
As far as I know all of them as long as they crit. Not 100% sure on the Briarthorn as it’s a pet (Storm Totem and Wind Devil are not real pets, they scale with player bonuses and I know from experience that they can proc player-based procs)
In my other thread someone told me that totems can’t proc skills granted by items. Neither does Wind Devil. So that’s why I doubt what could proc the Unmake skill
So nobody knows guys? I have the same question about Stormhear granted skill proc. Which one skill (Storm Totem, Wind Devil, Lightning Storm (granted by Squall relic), Olexra’s Flash Freeze, Reckless Tempest (devotion) and Summon Briarthorn) can proc that Chain Lignting skill on Stormheart.
I did some testing myself and found out that of those above mentioned skills only Lightning Storm and OFF can proc granted skills on items. That is sad. Please, Crate, make at least Wind Devil proc granted skills. Please, make lightning totem build viable at Ultimate. Now I can’t even use Eye of the Storm relic and have to keep Squall because of its Lightning Storm skill.
Items that can proc skills should be able to work with Storm Totem and Wind Devil since they aren’t pets and scale with player attributes.
If that isn’t the case then I would consider it to be a bug.
Of those listed only Lightning Storm, Olexa’s Flash Freeze (if the target is susceptible to freeze, or if playing Cornucopia) and Reckless Tempest if it is bound to either Lightning Storm or Olexa’s could trigger Unmake.
Quasi pets lose the ability to use your on attack/crit procs - but they gain the fun ability to have their own separate cooldowns as far as devotion procs are concerned. So it is a trade off, but items like the Tome of Names are the big losers in the trade.
Oh and having played this exact build, if you really want to trigger procs well look at a 1/1 (or higher) investment into Entangling Vines. Great way to trigger procs.
No, I tried (on dummies) using Wind Devil only (with attached Reckless Tempest) on it and it doesn’t proc the Unmake. The Unmake has a signature sign above monsters head it is like a blue hieroglyph. Then I used Lightning Storm and on the first crit it applied the Unmake. So neither Storm Totem neither Wind Devil can proc granted skills on items. I tried Chaing Lightning (on Stormheart) with the same result.
I don’t see the reason why the devs took away the possibility to proc on attack/crits from Wind Devils and Storm Totem. Are they OP? Not at all! The damage is so-so and you have to kite a lot. There are high lightning resistant monsters in Act IV and lots of them. They say about build diversity then there’s an easy way to make totem build really viable in Ultimate.
?
That is what I said. Only Olexra’s, Lightning Storm, and Reckless Tempest IF it is applied to one of your skills (not a quasi pet)
Sorry, that part of my answer was my reply to DeMasked
The reason totems and wind devil and blade spirit can’t proc them is because they are separate entities that have been given the ability to scale with your %modifiers instead of pets modifiers
They don’t have your gear so they can’t proc it

They can easily be programmed to use those skills on gear. That they can’t proc on attac/crit skills was the devs’ decision. Or they should increase their damage because currently Storm totem/Wind Devil are underpowered at Ultimate.
Given that I haven’t seen a mod change this yet - I doubt it is as easy as you think to get them to proc gear based skills.
Hmm… maybe you are right. Sometimes what seems easy to be done to us is not so to the devs.
