Mechanics

Affliction is a minion skill that permanently Afflicts any of your damageable minions in a targeted area, causing them to take physical damage over time, at an accelerating rate. Afflicted does not stack and cannot be removed or refreshed. Minions that are Afflicted cause the caster of the curse to regenerate life at a rate based on the Affliction's damage over time. Afflicted minions explode when reduced to below 20% of maximum life.

It is not possible to trigger both the explosion from Affliction and Minion Instability simultaneously through damage over time as Minion Instability will proc first; minions must have their life lowered not Low Life (typically >50%) to <20%, requiring over 30% of maximum life to be removed at once, such as Coruscating ElixirCoruscating Elixir
