Shepherd's Aspect

“Core Skills deal an additional 6-8% damage for each active Companion.”

I’m not seeing any change to core skill tooltip damage (when standing outside of town with companions active).

I’m also not sure if this is based upon number of actual companions or just the number of companion skills on your skill bar.

I have 3 wolves, 4 ravens, and a vine. I’m not seeing +96% damage on my lightning strike. I have this aspect on an amulet and it’s giving a +12% bonus per active companion.

Anyone know how this aspect truly works?

Everything involving companions is basically bugged and broken.

You won’t see it, it’s calculated in the background when you use the core skill and can fluctuate based on how many you have still alive.

Also put it on an amulet for 12% per skill, run the stampede aspect and the extra ravens. It’s either 8 or 9 companions (murky tooltips read as 8 vs visually on screen you see a second creeper vine) so it caps out at 96-108% if all your companions are alive and will never be less than 60% even if your wolves are all dead.

I did some testing and my dmg jump from 800 to 1400 with and without the aspect. I have 8 companions (3 wolves, 4 ravens, 1 vine) with an ammy at 11.3% dmg per companion.

So that seems to line up. Kind of hard to get repeatable, precise measurements, but seems close enough.
