Heretical Flare
Debuff

You are taking Physical Damage over time from a Heretical Flare

Heretical Flare is a debuff from the monster skill of the same name. It deals physical damage over time. This is NOT a bleeding ailment.

It is used by the boss Cato, Defiler of Light and its map variants Barthol, the Corruptor. In the first phase of the boss (as Cato, Scholar of Light or Barthol, the Pure), he uses Divine Flare status iconDivine Flare instead.

It is also existed in the boss room of Avarius, Reassembled (The Desecrated Chambers) and his/its map variant Woad, Mockery of Man (Lua error: Error: invalid field alias "items._pageName"; aliases cannot contain dots or quotes..), which has a fixed pattern and does not chase the player and their minion.

The side-boss of Kitava, Shaman of the Feast, also use this skill.[1] The side-boss has multiple variant, which one variant summon a parallel Heretical Flares.

Heretical Flare is in fact coded as a minion.[2] The "monster" is not targetable and does not have a nameplate. It has a skill that deals the actual damage. For Avarius, Reassembled's case, it is known as InvisibleIonKitavaCannonWickerman internally.[3]
