Default Soulstone - Does It Work ???

I have got the Soulstone and have been trying to use it just to get the extra +1 in Divine Favour on my Divine Boon so I can switch out my Scalp+Superior for my Scalp+Major to get some extra health. I don’t use CoP so just plan on getting the +1 and then switching to my normal focus. Anyways I have stood there casting and dismissing Divine Boon for a long time and nothing. Am I been a total noob and misunderstanding how it works or am I just unlucky?

Actualy, I used to bother doing this every match I booned in, and had mostly the same effect. It *feels* like less than a 20% chance sometimes, but other times you'll get the +1 for 8 games in a row, first try. All in all, I think it really is a 20% chance, although I've had a few GvGs where I spammed Divine Boon like a madman at the start, and didn't get the +1 on boon, but this seemd to happen about as often as I got lucky with it, so again, it's likely a 20% chance like it says it is.

It would be interesting to actualy test it though...



Either way, it's a very minor benefit, since someone is more than likely going to strip your Divine Boon.

If I remember correctly, you have to stop maintaining Divine Boon before you cast it again or else the +1 wont have a chance to trigger. I might be wrong.

1 out of ever 5 divine boon casts will trigger the bonus.

It works, but it's not worth it. I used to switch to my Soulstone every time I casted Divine Boon, but when you've done it 300 times, it gets annoying, and the +3 Health each cast you gain really isn't worth the annoyance. I advice sticking to switching between Superior and Minor Divine Favor runes before casting Divine Boon, as that's a 100% chance, instead of a 20% one and has a bigger bonus.
