[doubt] Essential Phantom?How to use?

[jeanpaim]

Maybe this is a nub question, but i dont understand the conditions to use this spell. Often is disable even in battle, but in one this battles, essential phantom was enabled. What im doing wrong?

What? I'm not sure I understand.

 

You mean: sometimes the button is greyed out so that you can't cast it?

Yeah, seems to me he's asking if there are specific conditions that govern when you can cast it. (I don't know the spell, so can't help there).

Srt, but english isnt my native language. And yes... the button is gray even in combat. What am i doing wrong?

It may be greyed out if you try to cast it at a target, but I can't confirm.

As for what it does, it creates a clone of Aloth that can draw aggro and used a ranged (wand) attack to cause AoE Shock damage.

Talents and abilities that apply to implements also work for your duplicate. For example: if you have blast & penetrating blast the duplicate also has it.

 

At least it used to be so... Maybe they changed that in the meantime.

 

What it also used to have is your equipment but not your weapons. But armor, boots and so on. So with boots of speed you AND your duplicate get +3 move speed. I think that is still the case.

 

Maybe it's greyed out if you already did call another summon?

Yes, you can only use it during combat and you must target a free space on the battlefield, where you summon the copy.

If you try to cast it on a target (ally, enemy) or an occupied area, the button will be greyed out!

 

Great choice btw, one of the best spells in the game for me!

Hi guyz. I  finally figured out what was happining. I couldnt cast essential phantom even in combat cause i was using a figurine. So i just test. First i cast a figurine and i saw that phantom button was gray (unable). I let the summon die and, like a charm, phantom button was enable. Thx for answers!
