Double Barring Abilities

I've heard this mentioned a few times, what abilities 'require' you to double bar them?

Is it just 'pet' abilities/summons?

    Well, you can double bar anything. If you have a summoned pet or anything with a toggle (bound aegis comes to mind) you will lose the ability when you swap.

    People often double bar abilities that give passive buffs like inner light and evil hunter. With these, you simply lose the passive buff when you swap if your dont double bar it.

    I think the only abilities in the game that you have to double bar in order to not have to retoggle them on weapon swap:

    Bound Armor (Sorc)
    Matriarch and Imp pets (Sorc)

    if the ability has a bonus to a stat like magica - possibly as a related passive - its often good to have it double barred.

    Don't incorporate bugs into your builds, and you won't have [an] issue.

    Imp/clanfear are just morphs of the same ability, so it was technically included! I should have said "unstable familiar and morphs" and "winged twilight and morphs".
