Essence bond now triggers on elemental dmg and physical. Before it was only physical.

This was brought up somewhere else, and it's only a wording change. It always used to trigger on all damage if I remember correctly, it just wasn't listed that way.

Ah that is what I was thinking but I was unsure of. Cause I always used to get energy from everything and was like "WOO!"

Essence bond is one of those skills that I wonder about from time to time. I first noticed something strange when I used to do solo fow runs with my monk when tackling the skeleton groups. Invariably the Skeleton Bonds would be the last 2 creatures left alive from a group, and I'd notice that 1 hit
I get 2e and then on the next hit I'd only get 1e. I had both balths spirit and essence bond on me at the time so I was always a little curious about it, since it seemed to be conditional on something that I was never able to figure out. I figured if it was because they did holy dmg maybe and that would keep essence from triggering, but if that was the case why did the damage change every few hits. I figured it was bugged and let it go at that.

With that said was the description changed?
Seems like elemental damage isn't physical...hmmm.
Weird.

It was a wording change. My guildie was using Mantra of Flame + Essence Bond and gaining 2 energy from fire spells before and we had no idea what was going on.

Are you sure about that? I stopped using EB for my Titan soloing runs because EB didn't do squat when hit with Stone Daggers/Stoning. I assumed it was because elemental damage not physical.


EDIT: I said Shard Storm, I meant Stone Daggers/Stoning.

Chaos Wurm Siege is an elemental spell. I'm sure the regular ones are physical attackers though.
