Anomaly:

Although this skill is classified as a corruption skill, it does not interact with Master of Corruption.

Curses

• Master of Corruption — Corruptions gain reduced recharge time and inflict additional conditions on you.

Death Magic

• Dark Defiance — If you are disabled, gain protection. Incoming condition damage is reduced while you have protection. Disables include stun, daze, knockback, pull, knockdown, sink, float, fear, taunt, and launch.
• Death Nova — When you or one of your minions is downed, create a Poison Nova. Summon a jagged horror when you kill a foe.

Blood Magic

• Vampiric — Siphon health whenever you hit a foe. Minions siphon health and transfer it to you.

Notes

• Distinct from the Death Nova explosion caused by Superior Rune of the Afflicted, which does not generate a combo field nor pulse.
• When triggered via a minion death the physical damage uses the minion's stats instead of the Necromancer's. This results in approximately 699 base damage against a 2597 armor target.
