When this skill is bound to a mouse button you can have key pickup enabled and it works fine, When you bind it to a hotkey you have to disable key pickup to get the skill to work - Bug or feature?

Skill info:


From what I can tell, you can only use AW on white items. Maybe they need to be identified first, I'll check later.

The item level restriction is annoying. Would be so much easier to use if it just scaled down the weapons to the max level allowed by AW.

Have yet to test if it's possible to use this skill on a totem, trap or mine.

Skill is crap IMHO. Sacrifice a weapon for a 30 second minion? So not worth it.

You can use it on any identified melee weapon of any rarity.
same name in-game
As Vermin mentioned, using key pickup prevents you from casting both Animate Weapon and Animate Guardian.

I hope this is not intended.

Please, make it supportable by spell totem (if it is not now) and make the skill ignore 6-socketed + 4-linked and above items.

This will be great.

PS: anyone tried it with spell totem?
Hateful post.
You can use the skill on hotkey with 'key pickup' enabled.

You hold the 'key pickup' button, mouseover the weapon and cast the skill.
The same works with Animate guardian.

I solved with 5 seconds after putting on the skill last night. Don't know why so many have problems with this.

Because this only works if you bind it to a mouse button, or if you have key pickup as something else than Alt. If you have Alt pressed and try to use any keyboard shortcut, none of them will work. I used to have "stand still" thingie on Alt and I couldn't drink potions while doing that, so I eventually rebound it to space. It's a known long standing issue that they'll eventually fix I assume.

As for Animate Weapon, it seems a bit weird, might be good in a summoner spec though, convert all those trash white weapons into additional minions for "free".
it deals nice dmg (noticeable and free so both are good)

my gtipe with it is the dex requirement. most summoners are witches (and templars). both have hard time getting 100+ dex with classic gear.

quitr sad that animated skills are not int/str..
