Summon Skitterbots is a skill which reserves mana to summon two invulnerable Skitterbot minions. The Skitterbots search for traps and mines you have laid and trigger/detonate some of them if an enemy is within targeting range. Mines detonated by Skitterbots are re-armed to detonate a second time. One Skitterbot has an aura that chills nearby enemies and the other has an aura that shocks nearby enemies. Skitterbots grant more trap and mine damage to the owner.
The Chilling Skitterbot applies a base Chill effect causing 10% reduced action speed.
The Shocking Skitterbot applies a base Shock effect causing 15% increased damage taken.
The Skitterbots' Chilling and ShockingAuras are a property of the Skitterbot minions, not the player.
The Chilling and Shocking auras do not benefit from modifiers affecting player Auras like Increased Effect of Non-Curse Auras or Increased Area of Effect of Non-Curse Auras.
The Chilling and Shocking auras do not benefit from modifiers affecting player shock/chill effect like Increased Effect of Chill, Increased Effect of Shock, or Increased Effect of Non-Damaging Ailments. [1]
The Chilling and Shocking auras will benefit from modifiers such as Increased Effect of Chill, Increased Effect of Shock, or Increased Effect of Non-Damaging Ailments that are applied to the Skitterbot minions with support gems such as Unbound Ailments Support or Bonechill Support, with the downside of increasing the skill's reservation.
Summon Skitterbots' inherent Minions have (0-19)% increased Chill Effect or Minions have (0-19)% increased Shock Effect will increase the effect of the Skitterbots' Chilling and Shocking auras.
The Chill and Shock effects of this skill makes Summon Skitterbots a versatile defensive/offensive option for many builds, not just mine/trap-focused builds.
Even though the Skitterbots are invulnerable, they deal damage over time to nearby monsters when supported by Infernal Legion SupportInfernal Legion SupportFire, AoE, Support, Minion Icon: O Level: (1-20) Cost & Reservation Multiplier: 120%Requires Level 8Supports skills which create Minions.Minions from Supported Skills take 40% of their Maximum Life as Fire Damage per second Minions from Supported Skills deal (15.4-2092.6) Fire Damage per second to Enemies near them Minions from Supported Skills have +(0-0.5) metres to Radius of their Burning Effect
Additional Effects per 1% Quality: Minions from Supported Skills take 1% reduced Fire DamageThis is a Support Gem. It does not grant a bonus to your character, but to skills in sockets connected to it. Place into an item socket connected to a socket containing the Skill Gem you wish to augment. Right click to remove from a socket..
Each Skitterbot has a 3 second cooldown on their mine activation.
Skitterbots cannot be summoned while wearing The Primordial ChainThe Primordial Chain Coral AmuletRequires Level 34Regenerate (2-4) Life per second+3 to maximum number of Summoned Golems You cannot have non-Golem Minions 25% reduced Golem Size Golems Deal (45-35)% less Damage Golems have (45-35)% less Life Golems have (80-100)% increased Movement Speed PrimordialThe leash of the lifegiver binds in both directions. due to the "You cannot have non-Golem Minions" modifier.
The skill is an aura skill, but since it does not cast an aura on the player and instead summons two minions with auras, this skill does not count towards the number of Auras a player has. This is especially useful for builds that utilize mechanics that limit the number of Auras a player can have.
