Cackling Companions
Activate to summon a cackle of Hyena Companions. The cackle is treated as a single Companion for effects that count or limit Companions, regardless of the number of Hyenas in the cackle. Hyenas whoop when they first appear, Hindering nearby enemies, and have a chance to Maim enemies they Hit.
Good option that performs well in the right setup or as a levelling skill.
