Call of the Ancients is one of the Barbarian’s Ultimate Skills which may be familiar to players who have played the previous Diablo titles.
While this Ultimate Skill lasts only 6 seconds, you get the aid from 3 Ancients but there is a way for you to call them even without using the skill.
Aspect of the Ancestral Echoes can make this happen as it allows you to summon an Ancient by simply using certain skills.
Aspect of Ancestral Echoes Effects (Call of the Ancients Aspect)
When you have an item that has Aspect of Ancestral Echoes and has the skill in your Action Bar, using one of the skills that an Ancient does has a chance to summon them.
This means that any time you use Leap, Upheaval, or Whirlwind, there is a high chance that the Ancient related to that skill will appear and assist you.
Even if you have Call of the Ancients active, this will still work, meaning that you can summon another instance of them even if they are on the field.
Aspect of Ancestral Echoes Location
