Willing Whip

Willing Whip is a passive feature that grants resistance to Necrotic damage but deals Necrotic damage to every creature nearby.

Description

Grants Resistance to Necrotic, and deals additional 1d6Necrotic damage to everyone nearby including the wielder.

How to learn

Granted by the weapons:

• Loviatar's Scourge

Used by creatures:

• Abdirak

Notes

• Due to the Resistance granted by the weapon, the wielder takes only 1~3Necrotic damage. However, nearby allies take full damage.
• Area of effect is centered at character who is hit, and the radius is 2 m.
• Characters close to those struck by this weapon take damage every time, but those on the border of its radius of effect sometimes do not.
• Due to resistance granted by this passive, fractional damage received by the user is rounded down. Therefore, if fighting where damage received by an opponent(s) does not exceed one hit point, the user will receive no damage.
• This feature is particularly useful against groupings of low-hit-point enemies that may otherwise have more opportunities to score lucky strikes against the player character. For example, if Lae'zel is in the party while fighting the murder of shadow-cursed ravens on the Ruined Battlefield in Act Two at X: 30 Y: 114, the area of effect damage from this passive may easily earn the soldier's Pentacrush inspiration, while receiving no damage in the process.
