Ghoul Devotion help

[Siwa]

is ghoul and wendigo only for weaponcombat?
i dont see it working with arcan laser.

Ghoul can only be bound to passives and triggers when your health drops below 45%. Wendigo should be fine with aether ray though, iirc. Did you bind it?

[Siwa]

when it triggers and i cast spells then no health is added

[Halcyon]

oh you mean the lifesteal from ghoul proc? Yeah, that's weapon damage only. Spells with no weapon damage component cannot apply effects such as lifesteal, energy steal, etc.

The life steal from Mark of the Wendigo, however, will work... (It is based only on the damage Wendigo itself does) you just need to put it on a skill that doesn't melt enemies instantly. And none of the Arcanists skills are really great at that unless you deliberately leave them weak. Hmm, I could see it working with a weaker Replicating Missile that is heavily invested in Distortion, but whenever you're using the missile, you wouldn't be using Aether ray...

I find Mark of the Wendigo is best placed on debuffs like Curse of Frailty, Devouring Swarm, Word of Pain, etc... Or on player scaled pets like Storm Totems, Guardians of Empyrion, Blade Spirit, etc... (And yes, the life steal from Celestial Skills attached to player scaled pets does get funneled back to the player)
