The druid has a boon “Pack Leader” that reads:
Lucky Hit: Critical Strikes have a 20% chance to reset the cooldowns of you companion skills.
I sat on the training dummy trying to get this to proc using the companions themselves first: Ravens, Poison Creeper, wolves, and the Werewolf variant of the wolves. Neither the passive damage nor the active damage from either of these companions would reset the cooldown on the companion’s skills, despite wolves having a 50%+ lucky hit chance.
I also tried using the unqiue Fleshrender, which causes D.roar and Blood Howl to cause a flat amount of damage to poisoned targets. These abilities also do not reset the cooldowns. I am convinced they do not lucky hit at all when using this Unique item. They seem to have no problem with critical strikes though. This is not surprising so much as it is disappointing. I think this legendary should give these two abilities the chance to lucky hit.
Next up is the Wild Rage Aspect
Your companions also gain the bonuses from Bestial Rampage key passive when you do.
The attack speed buff from werewolf form does not benefit the ravens in any way. I also mixed in the Nighthowler aspect using Preserving Blood Howl to give attack speed that way as well. The ravens simply did not benefit in any way to this, passive nor actively.
Likewise in my testing the poison creeper gained no benefit from attack speed buffs.
The wolves on the other hand will attack more quickly.
One last thing is I’m not seeing any difference in damage that companions do to enemies with +dmg to far or +damage to close enemies. If I take the Nature’s Reach passive the damage of my wolf companions does not change whether I am right next to training dummies or far away from them. It makes no difference.
Please normalize how companions work and keep it consistent in the tooltips.
