Kill

The term kill refers to causing death of a creature. Most creatures leave corpses on death.
When kills are made by summoned minions, totems, traps or mines, player characters are credited for kills for the purposes of increased item quantity and rarity, flasks, and achievement-related stats, but generally not combat-related stats, where the non-player entity would get the credit for the kill instead.[citation needed] However, there is currently a bug that causes any damage over time kills to always grant credit to the player character even if they are caused by a minion, totem, trap, or mine.[citation needed]
On/when kill effects
Similarly to on-hit effects, there are effects that trigger when creature has been killed:
- gain temporary buffs (e.g. charges)
- gain life, mana or energy shield
- skill-specific effects (e.g.
Infernal Blow's explosion)
