Some questions about Druid's Shepherd Aspect damage bonus

PC General Discussion

  1. Does the damage bonus apply to the passive attacks or the active attacks or both?
  2. If the companion skills are not on the skillbar, but are activated through the key node “One With Nature”, do they still benefit from the Shepherd Aspect damage bonus?
    Thank you!

Have you tried the cash shop yet?

I am not in pet build currently.

But pretty sure

  1. impact the pet’s actual damage so passive only.

I do remember checking this once before and I don’t think the active ability, for example, on wolves damage scales when you apply shepherd to your gear in town. And this is consistent for other aspects that raise pet damage. I did this a while ago so I may be remembering what I was checking for incorrectly, but I think it was if the active was impacted by the pet damage multipliers. But easy enough to verify just by removing the gear and seeing if the number changes.

  1. Yes it should apply to all pets and their individual damage how they are in play does not matter.

And shepherd’s is basically priority 1 for pet aspects. The old version improved your damage this new one is only for them.
