The active bonus says on encounter use if you don't score a critical hit, you will do a hit equal to 50% of your power......so since we know on encounters such as dread theft and harrowstorm if the first hit is crit every hit thereafter will also be crit......so if you use DT or Harrowstorm and they don't crit will you get a hit for 50% of your power on every tic of those two encounters???......ex: if DT doesn't crit, and you have 20k power will you get 10k for every tic (every yellow number) of dreadtheft?

No. If first crit doesn't crit, only one tick is added (in Dreadtheft). Dunno about Hadar Grasp/Harrowstorm - I think HG might work as you described (at least it did work that way before nerf). But protip: use Infernal Spheres for that - they have 0% crit chance and each hit can proc owlbear

It makes devastating effects in Stronghold Siege as companion active bonuses are working there

Do the owlbear procs create soul sparks?

fernuu · July 2016

Only critical hits creates soul sparks and owlber proc on non-crit so no

question: Bear owls can be used on PvP ?? just on the server py ban for the satellite give true and never warned of the ban simply ban

You can use it in Stronghold Siege (and IWD open world PvP) - those are only places were companions works. And it's not bannable as it's working as intended... overpowered but that's it's and encounters design.

thanks for the reply, as I turn to the euro from the server to the fact that my friends were banned from Russian because of this satellite. while they try to find the truth through the main. but Russian server always lived separate lives. insulting one - now is so much to restore

Unfortunately they completely changed how Infernal Spheres works. Too bad, I really enjoyed the combo with Owl Bear.

I take back my "unfortunately" comment. I've found the rework of Infernal Spheres quite nice paired with Fiery Blast and Soul Scorch (SB-Damn). Survivability for solo play is huge and the insta AE is pretty nice too. In case you didn't notice the rework, each Sphere provides 5% of damage resistance for a total of 25% when maxed; 5 spheres. Or you can explode them all for AE damage around you. Also the Spheres will randomly strike out and damage targets near you; very nice with Owlbear as I have yet to see one "crit".

Note that I pair this combo with Owlbear and a power/+dmg build versus a full on crit build. Spirit uptime is nearly 100% and there's always a surplus of sparks for Soul Scorch between Fiery Blast cooldowns. Have yet to parse and analyze it's worth in a group/boss setting, but for solo play, face rolling groups of mobs is a breeze.
