Ancestral Bond
Ancestral Bond is a keystone passive skill that raises the active totem limit by one. As a drawback, the character cannot deal damage directly with skills.
With Ancestral Bond, the character can only deal damage to enemies by indirect means such as totems, traps and mines, or minions. Reflected damage, including that caused by 
Punishment, will still be applied, but 
Tempest Shield will not do any damage. The poison clouds caused by Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Caustic Arrow". Please choose only one of the following ids:
ExileCausticArrow - Deals (0.9-241.3) Base Chaos Damage per second, Base duration is 4.00 seconds, Modifiers to Projectile Damage apply to this Skill's Damage Over Time effect, Projectiles Return to you, Gain 25% of your Physical Damage as Extra Chaos Damage (page)
MonsterCausticArrow - Deals (1.5-219.3) Base Chaos Damage per second, Base duration is (1.20-3.00) seconds, Modifiers to Projectile Damage apply to this Skill's Damage Over Time effect, Gain 34% of your Physical Damage as Extra Chaos Damage (page) will still do damage.
Effects the require hitting or critting can still be used directly, such as that granted by Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Blind" or Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Power Charge On Critical", so long as the effect is not scaled by damage. Elemental status ailments will not be triggered by direct skills for this reason.
