I can't Summon Skeletons

[Kexby]

Hey there,

 

I hope this is the right place to post this. I'm new to PoE and I'm playing a Beckoner. But I have a problem, I can't summon any skeletons when I cast 'If Their Bones Still Slept Under That Hill, None Can Say'.

 

I've been experimenting with mods and I thought the mods were causing it, so I've removed all mods, but the problem still persists.

 

But I might be doing something wrong, so here's what I do:

 

I click the ability icon on my bar, a green outline appears around it. My cursor changes into a skeleton symbol, I then left click on the ground. My character does her casting animation, but nothing happens, no skeletons are summoned.

 

I'm stumped. What am I doing wrong?

It doesn't sound like you're doing anything wrong. What happens to your phrases, are they consumed in the process?

So either you get interrupted all the time - or you ran into a bug.

It's ok, I finally figured out what I was doing wrong.

 

I was trying to cast from stealth (before the enemy had detected me). I didn't realize you had to actually be in combat before you could summon your minions. Duh!

Haha - ok.

 

But I wonder why you were able to start casting that summoning in the first place. The button should have been greyed out/disabled and you shouldn't have been able to start to cast the stuff in the first place. Maybe that's the real bug here...?
