Corpse Explosion

Required level 6FireClassic

What it does

cast on the corpse of a slain monster, it explodes, damaging nearby enemies.

Damage: 70-120% of corpse Life

How Corpse Explosion works, in depthThe Necromancer's corpse bomb deals 70–120% of the corpse's base life, half physical and half fire, to everything in a radius that grows from 2.67 yards at level 1 to 9 at level 20. What the life is based on, why player count does not change it, and what does and does not reduce it.
