Skills and Attributes

The following skills will affect this combat art:

The following attributes will affect this combat art:

  • Stamina will lower the regeneration time penalty

Usage Strategies

  • Taking both Spirit Wolf mods will allow for up to 4 Dire Wolves active at once.
  • Despite the in-game tips saying CTRL-Click can be used for minions, it is difficult to direct summons in Sacred 2 to attack specific targets. However you can set their aggro range (default '/' key) and also toggle single or group attack mode (default '.' key). In group attack mode minions will all attack the same target as you.
  • If the player doesn't mind the possible down time when the Dire Wolf is knocked out, the armor resistance mod can be ignored in favor of the damage mod.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • As a pack, Dire Wolves inflict good damage, all the way into Hell difficulty.
  • No need to recast buff if Dire Wolf falls in battle.

Cons

  • The player lacks finer control over minion movements and targeting.
