Hello -
I had been using some of the ‘limited to one companion’ nodes as a primalist. I have since unspecced them, and I’ve put some points into wolves (including the +1 wolf/+1 companion node).
Wearing the squirrel helm, I cannot summon more than 2 squirrels. Not only is it not respecting my overall companion max (as the helmet wording would imply), but it’s also not respecting even the +1 wolf node on the wolf tree.
Weirdly once I add “the fang” amulet, I can go from 2 squirrels to 4 squirrels. So at that point I can summon squirrels up to an artificial +2 wolf limit, but not up to my real +5 limit. As soon as I take the amulet off I go from 4 down to 2.
The whole time I tested this I kept out a raptor, sabertooth, and storm crow, just to know that actually had a +5 overall limit.
