  • Does not actually require a target and will PBAoE pull up to 5 targets within 1200 range.
  • Multiple hands can affect the same target if enemies are lined up, or if the necromancer is inside of a large enemy, dealing significant defiance bar damage.
  • Life Force is gained for each hand that hits a target.
