have been removed from the game. Earthbreaker Support can no longer be acquired as a support gem and has lost its buff effect.
Ancestor Totems are a subtype of totem. They use melee skills, require the player to be within a certain range to be active, and grant the player a buff while active.
Mechanics
Ancestral totems are affected by regular totem passives and share the same maximum totem limit as other totems.
Because the totem uses the player's skill, like other proxies, the buffs granted to the player will affect skills used by totems. The same buff does not stack from multiple totems, but different buffs from different totem types may be combined. These buffs are modified by #% increased Effect of Buffs your Ancestor Totems. This stat does not affect other stats gained for having totems, such as Ironwood's +150 Armour per Summoned Totem.
