Bone_spirit.png This powerful spell briefly summons the spirits of vengeful revenants. These skeletal specters immediately seek out their targets, ripping free a portion of the target's soul and carrying it away to the plane of the dead. The Necromancers have not yet determined how to control these wraiths. For now, it is enough that they are able to shield themselves and their companions from their wrath!

This is a Spell Damage Based Combat Art.

Skills and Attributes

The following skills will affect this combat art:

  • Combat Discipline - will increase the damage of this combat art and lower its regeneration time if it is placed in a combo.

The following attributes will affect this combat art:

  • Stamina will lower regeneration time

Usage Strategies

  • Great against single large targets (bosses) as the Bone Spirits will immediately gravitate toward the enemy and explode all at once, doing massive damage.
  • Against larger mobs of weaker enemies, Bone Spirits often unnecessarily gang up and explode on a single enemy, but the radius of their explosion may still be enough to kill nearby opponents.
  • Bone Spirits will self-destruct at the end of their duration if they weren't able to find an enemy to attack.
  • The cooldown naturally decreases with each level, getting as low as 3 seconds at very high levels, so as long as the regeneration time is well-managed, the Necromancers can summon waves of Bone Spirits quite often.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Good damage, at high levels the cooldown and regen can be reduced very low so constant waves of Bone Spirits can be active.

Cons

  • No control over which enemies the Bone Spirits attack.

Developer Notes

  • Bone Spirit is another adaptation of a Dragon Mage CA, in this case the Destroyers. Bone Spirit went through a ton of iterations, from a magical projectile similar to the D2 original, to a Skeletal Fortification-like summon that fired the aforementioned projectiles, to the final incarnation here which summons floating skulls that seek out enemies and explode.
