Corpse Pact

Corpse Pact

Ascendancy Notable Passive Skill

Enemies near corpses you Spawned Recently are Chilled and Shocked
2% increased Attack and Cast Speed for each corpse Consumed Recently, up to a maximum of 200% [1]

Corpse Pact is a Notable Ascendancy passive skill for the Necromancer that grants increased attack and cast speed per corpsed consumed recently. It also inflicts chill and shock on enemies within a 60 unit radius of the spawned corpse(s). Corpse Pact counts as applying new instances of Shock and Chill when a corpse is generated, which is relevant for modifiers such as the one found on StormfireStormfire
Opal RingRequires Level 80(15-25)% increased Elemental Damage(40-45)% increased Mana Regeneration Rate
+(20-30)% to Fire and Lightning Resistances
(8-12)% increased Burning Damage for each time you have Shocked a Non-Shocked Enemy Recently, up to a maximum of 120%
Adds (1-3) to (62-70) Lightning Damage to Hits against Ignited Enemies
Your Lightning Damage can IgniteWhen your skin sloughs, and your blood cooks,
you'll wish the lightning strike had killed you..

Enemies are shocked for 15% increased damage taken and chilled for 10% slow; these can be scaled by modifiers to non-damaging ailment effect.

Each consume buff has an independent duration of 4s; this duration cannot be refreshed.

Corpse Pact (Ruthless)

Ascendancy Notable Passive Skill

Nearby Enemies are Chilled and Shocked while you are near a corpse
