Grave Lord's Sacrifice: Duration: [17 / 18 / 19 / 20] seconds.
CRIMINAL ACT Summon a skeleton from the ground after 2.5 seconds.

While active, your third cast of Flame Skull damages in an area and creates a corpse near the enemy. Creates a corpse on death if you are in combat.

Sacrificial Bones summons a skeleton that leaps on you which increases your damage done with class abilities and damage over time for a brief period. Grave Lord's Sacrifice morph further upgrades the skill to last longer and makes every third Flame Skull cast to do area of effect damage and create a free corpse. Blighted Blastbones morph radicaly changes to skill to cost stamina and makes the summoned skeleton chase an enemy and explodes at them, dealing area of effect Disease damage and Applying the Diseased status effect and Major Defile to all enemies hit, reducing their Healing Received and Shield Strength by 12%.

NotesEdit

  • Blighted Blastbones is one of the fastest ways to create a free corpse, which can be used for a number of other Necromancer abilities.
  • Prior to Update 41, this skill was called Blastbones. Blastbones was similar to Blighted Blastbones but did Fire Damage.

Patch NotesEdit

  • Blastbones: Reworked this ability and the Stalking Blastbones morph.
    • Renamed this ability to Sacrificial Bones.
    • This ability and the Stalking Blastbones morph (which has also been renamed) now summon a skeleton that, after their formation delay, jump to their owner to infuse them with power for 10 seconds, increasing your damage done with class abilities and Damage over time effects by 15%.
    • These abilities no longer require a target to activate, but instead require you to be in combat.
      • Stalking Blastbones (morph):
        • Renamed this morph to Grave Lord's Sacrifice.
        • This morph extends the duration of the bonus to 20 seconds, and causes your Flame Skull and morph's 3rd cast to deal their damage in an area around the initial target and creates a corpse at their location.
      • Blighted Blastbones (morph):
        • This morph's overall functionality remains the same, to retain a way for the original play style of the skill to be kept.
        • Reduced the base cost of this morph to 1836, down from 2295, so it is easier for non-Stamina focused builds to sustain.
        • This morph now always applies the Diseased status effect.
  • Known Issue: Sacrificial Blastbones and the Grave Lord's Sacrifice morph may still report their original name for combat logging events and API. The damage increase for Damage over Time effects may not reflect properly on tooltips, but should still apply to the actual damage, SCT, and logging.
