Death Magic

• Flesh of the Master — Minions have increased health. Gain carapace for each minion you control. Your minions are destroyed when this trait is reassigned.
• Necromantic Corruption — Minions deal more damage and take conditions from you. When a minion attacks, it transfers conditions to its target. There is a 10 second cooldown per minion.
• 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

• Summons two Bone Minions that attack foes from melee range with Bone Slash every 3 seconds approximately, both minions together dealing roughly 92 DPS, or 116 with Necromantic Corruption.
  • Bone Slash deals about 163 damage (204 with the aforementioned trait).
• The Bone Minions can be individually sacrificed with the follow-up skill: Putrid Explosion.
