What happened to "Your maximum number of Skeletal Warriors is increased by 3"?

I’m still wearing this amulet I got from level 61, even though now i am level 78, because I can’t find a gear that increases the number of skeletal warriors to a total of 8 anymore, see screenshot (will expire in 6 months):

Seemingly only an increase by 2 is possible now??

Plus that amulet has stats that I value much more over anything else I found so far. There are countless of stats I just consider useless due to too much reliance on situational benefits.

Also, there might have existed gear that added 3 skeletal mages to your army, but I’m not sure because I never saw it dropped.

And yes, I’m also considering the unique item Deathspeaker’s Pendant, which fixes my problem of wearing a too old gear, but it changes my playstyle, because it makes me need to use a Core skill, when in fact, I don’t want to use a core skill, I’m happy not needing to utilize my Essences at all (especially in Nightmare dungeons that suck away your resource), I could instead just use another CD.

I don’t want to change my playstyle. It’s not fun having to. What’s the point of playing differently if I don’t enjoy it?

There is gear for both mages and warriors, it will say 2 for gear other than amulet. If you extract it from another piece, you can put it on an amulet if you find another good (yellow) one.

I get it, but the aspect itself that gets me 3 warriors instead of 2, I can’t find it anymore. Plus I can’t find another amulet that’s just as good as the one I still use.

The number is static.
If you imbue it onto an amulet, if will give you 3 skeletons, even if it says 2 on the current item.
Amulets amplify bonuses by 50%.

Adding the Aspect to the amulet gives 1 extra to either Warriors or Mages, depending on which Aspect you use, and The Book of The Dead allows you to gain an extra Warrior.

Thanks, this solves my problem. I didn’t know this about the amulets though, I don’t know how I missed this info, definitely underdocumented.

Amulets give a 50% bonus to aspects and 2H weapons give a 100% bonus (to make up for the fact that you are missing an aspect from offhand) so always keep that in mind when choosing where to place aspects.

If you imprint an aspect that says 2 on an amulet it changes to 3.

And two-handed weapons increases aspect’s nurmbers by 100%. You can’t put the + skeleton one on weapons though.

It would be a waste of a weapon aspect slot if you could.
