Dark Pact
Lua error in Module:Item2/core at line 500: The "class_id" parameter is required.. Dark Pact is a chaos spell that removes some life from one of your Skeleton minions near you or the targeted location to deal chaos damage in an area around it. This effect will chain to your other nearby skeletons. If you have no skeletons near you or the targeted location, it will sacrifice your own life to deal damage instead.
Skill Functions and Interactions
Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Cast When Damage Taken Support": If self cast, Dark Pact will inflict 6% of the casters maximum life as damage to the player in a similar manner to supporting a skill with the Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Blood Magic Support" or using the Blood Magic Keystone and will not trigger Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Cast When Damage Taken Support".
Life Scaling: Dark Pact deals additional damage based on the amount of life removed from your skeletons or yourself based on the target of the spell. This makes the skill very versatile in its ability to be used with various builds and set ups. For example: When cast on Skeletons, Minion Life nodes and supporting your skeletons with the Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Minion Life Support" will increase the damage dealt, while self-casting relies on the life nodes and life gained from equipment that effects the player.
Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Spell Totem Support": Dark Pact can be supported by spell totem and will attempt to follow the normal casting rules of Dark Pact. If there are Skeletons in range of the totem when it attempts to cast Dark Pact, the skill will target your skeletons and use the minion life of your skeleton. If no skeletons are in range of the totem when it attempts to cast Dark Pact, the skill will trigger from the totem, sacrificing 6% of the totem's maximum life. Totems will not check if Skeletons are in range of enemies in order to cast Dark Pact on them. This means that in order for a totem to cast on Skeletons effectively, your skeletons need to be in range of both the enemy and the spell totem and the enemy must also be in range for the totem to naturally target them regardless of the presence of skeletons. It is also important to note that using a totem to cast Dark Pact does not count as self-casting and will NOT trigger the radius or damage multiplier bonuses for self-casting.
Minion Instability and Beacon of Corruption: Dark Pact can be used to forcibly lower the life of your Skeleton minions to low life or death. Doing so will trigger the effects of the Keystone passive Minion Instability and the Necromancer Notable passive Beacon of Corruption. Using Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Spell Echo Support" can effectively help speed up the rate at which your Skeletons are damaged to trigger these effects more rapidly.
Minion Supports: Despite having the minion tag, there are no minion specific support gems that impact Dark Pact. However, the Reanimator's and Summoner's mod found on helmets, as well as uniques that raise the level of socketed minion gems (The BaronThe Baron

Also note that it is impossible to chain to or from the player in any way using Dark Pact as the chaining property of Dark Pact only triggers with Skeletons.
