Detonate Dead is a spell that explodes a corpse, dealing secondary damage as fire in an area around it.
Skill functions and interactions[]
Detonate Dead deals damage in two hits that get calculated separately, the fixed fire damage component and the corpse maximum life % component.[1]
- Secondary damage: Detonate Dead's explosion deals secondary damage, hence it cannot be affected by stats affecting spell damage, including ones such as x% increased Critical Strike Chance for Spells. However the corpse explosion component of the spell will receive bonuses from elemental, area, and fire related stats.
- Partying: While in a party, the explosion ignores the increased life added for each player beyond the first and treats the monster's life as if the player was solo.[2]
- Damage reflection: The damage from the Detonate Dead explosion cannot be reflected.
