Bonded in essence does not seem to work.
Put 3 points in it, but don’t see any increase in the healing.
Could you please look into this?
Thank you!

it doesent work for me aswell… just doesent work at all on 1-2-3 upgrade… doesent matter they heal themselves same amount of HP even without this skill
The heal pops at the end of the buff. If you spam the priest, it will never go off because it resets the buff.
IMO, this should be changed to either popping the heal right when the priest raises up (so we can spam it in OH S*** moments) or spreading the additional heal over the length of the buff as a HOT. I’d prefer the instant heal myself.

Exactly this. Put it in the front, or over time. At the end is useless and too late.

what do you mean “spam priest” its not passive ? i dont see any of skill there… its just talent in tree
You use Raise Skeleton to cast priest buff/heal. If you use it again before the 5s buff ends, then you restart it and never get the 60% heal. They need to move it to the start of the 5s or over the 5 second to make it useful.

Yeah. It should really be an instant heal.
I honestly have no idea what they were thinking making it a heal after a delay.
I swear they made a functional minion build at some point in development and then decided, naw, cant have minions be good, lets nerf all their support skills until theyre total trash. People like playing minions that are worthless right?
Its 2023. Theres no reason for this. Look at literally any non-blizzard arpg for an example of how minion builds should work.

I actually works as it says, if you keep spamming it to maintain the damage buff, the priest will heal every five seconds, it doesn’t reset.
It’s misleading because it doesn’t start working till second 5, but 5, 10, 15, 20, etc will heal.
And it’s quite useful at lvl 3 because it basically refills the entire life bar of the minions.
The bonded in essense passive heal the minion after 5 sec and will be reset if you use it before it ends. The passive should either make it HoT like the preist heal or instant heal when pressed. It’s kind of garbage when you need it and i mostly use it in between of CE and heal minion back to full health after a fight.
Right, I think the issue here is that is a terrible way to implement it. Either boost the HoT from 2%/s to 14%/s or give the instant 60% at the start. If you pop it now during combat, and they’re low, they can die before it goes off. At least with the other two methods, they will survive much better.

A 5 second timer appears above your skeleton button. When it expires, your minions get healed for 60%.
This is confirmed as working. It’s a nice little boost after using Raise Skeleton when all minions are up. The timer bar appears above the skill and as soon as it expires you can see a boost in healing on the skeletons for the ranked amount you have invested into Bonded In Essence. It doesn’t matter if the skeleton dies because you can quickly raise another one at full health anyway. Just IMHO.
This is incorrect.
The heal will happens after 5 seconds of the buff being active, regardless of whether you refresh the buff or not. You can be spamming Skeleton priest non stop that the heal will happen every 5 seconds, so long as you don’t let the buff drop.
Can confirm, but it should be at the start, then 10% HoT IMO, not afterwards, so it can be used on-demand and not have to wait for it to work.

Look for the blue flames on you skellies. Once that goes away…
the wording is bad. It should state “Over 5 seconds” not “Every”
Its confusing, but yeah you have to cast the spell to get the healing, its not just a auto cast every 5 seconds that heals. I misunderstood it as well until I came to the thread and reread the skill
No we’re saying it’s broken. It doesn’t do that either
It worked for me with 1 and 2 points but stopped when I put in 3 points. Now the only healing they get is the normal waiting until the gain health. Really really sucks.
Many are explaining away the bug and this will prevent it from being fixed. It is a real bug. If you put only one point and it’s the very first time with that character you see little healing blinks every 5 seconds. Once you put the third point in it breaks and taking points out doesn’t fix it. It’s a deep bug likely very hard to get blizzards attention because of the complicated way it shows up.

Is this bugged as its not passive not going off every 5 sec as its meant to be.
