Banner's Valour generation not working with Ballista Totem Skills

Don't know if I'm wrong about this interaction, but to explain, I was trying to make a build with ballistas totem + banners for fun, but when i got my first ballista, it wasn't gaining valour for the banner on its own (without me attacking anything to check), despite being an "attack" skill and the tooltip of the banner specifically saying :

"

"While active, killing enemies with Attacks or standing near a Unique enemy generates Valour"

It seems other "attack" skills do work with valour generation like grenades and of course crossbow ammunition skills, but not ballistas as far as I know.

Does the 2nd half (standing near a Unique) work? I ask because traditionally with totems, you don't count as having killed or crit.

Yes, the 2nd half do work, but if I had to give my personal opinion, being forced to be in the presence of a Unique monster is a bit limiting when you're trying a ranged character, they should give a way to increase the presence size on the banner skill so you could gain valour from a bit more far away during boss fights.

That's fine and all but that means there's no bug here. This is how it works.

Ok I was a bit confused so that's why I'm editing again this message, I didn't get fro your first message that totem count their kills etc as their own and don't generate valour.

Then yes it's not a bug and I wasn't aware of that interaction

Just a bit disappointment that it doesn't work like that...
