Skill Reveal - Ancestral Protector

Really hope they change it so it uses an AoE attack by default (Ground slam plox).

Looks interesting and hilarious, BUT I don't think it will be used by a large portion of us...I just dont see a purpose for it unless you are a slow clear char, most of us kill too fast to have a need for such a totem, might be useful low to mid game...after that I am highly skeptical....but who knows!

Very cool. Can't wait to play around with these new totem skills. They somehow remind me of hybrid Assassins (before skill synergies) in D2 where you're meleeing packs of enemies while your traps are shooting lightning/fire at the same time as support.

now it just needs to scale off dual wield,
additional totems alternate ur weapon dmg,
dual dyadus EE totem kappa

One more problem i see with it is that its a totem, which means it cannot work with coc and comk

I guess Haku finally found a use for all those Spirits we've been "rescuing" for him.

I think it is only useful in boss (and hard to kill rares) fights.
Looks like it will slow you down for mobs.

Kripp predicted melee totems some time ago!!!

Nice new addition to totems and melee. With the release of so many new skills and supports. I hope we can get 1 or 2 new Vaal skills as well. Would be cool to see little bit of ideas from the Vaal expansion be added in with the up and coming expansion. Ascendancy HYPE!!
