Poison Explosion is a Necromancer skill in Diablo II.
Lore[]
This spell permits the Necromancer to accelerate the decomposition of a corpse to an alarming degree. So rapidly does the corpse putrefy, that the toxic gases, normally accumulated in dead tissue over time, explode forth from the carcass in a cloud of poisonous vapors.
In-game[]
- Gives synergy to:
- Poison Dagger: +20% Poison damage per level
- Poison Nova: +10% Poison damage per level
- Receives synergy from:
- Poison Dagger: +15% Poison damage per level
- Poison Nova: +15% Poison damage per level
Usage[]
Poison Explosion is the second poison-related skill the Necromancer gains. It is an improvement over Poison Dagger as it's a ranged skill that generally deals more poison damage over an area rather than a single target. The only downside is that it needs a corpse to activate, which could be put to better use for Corpse Explosion or a summoning skill.
