Damage Reduction
Your fear Chill foes
Cold Shoulder trait reduces damage by 10% from chilled foes
Making use of Reaper’s Shroud 2# into a ice field give you frost aura
Protect yourself with frost armor that reduces incoming damage by 10%. While active, it chills foes that hit you. Each attacker can only be affected by this once per second.
You can use your shroud to reduce incoming damage
While in Death Shroud, direct damage is halved, except when the hit depletes all of the life force. This damage reduction isn’t shown in the combat log. Additionally, the necromancer naturally loses 4% of its total life force pool every second.
Your Damage
Always strike as hard as you can
