Dark Effigy

Dark Effigy summons a Totem that attacks all enemies in its radius while they are affected by a Chaos Damage over Time Debuff. Such Debuffs can be primary damage sources like Contagion or Essence Drain, the Poison ailment, or secondary damage sources like any Curse with the Decaying Hex Support Gem.

Function

• Dark Effigy targets each eligible enemy with its attack Vile Effusion at a rate of X attacks per second, where X is the amount of unique Chaos DoT debuffs this enemy currently suffers from.
• Vile Effusion at level 9 has a base damage of 23-43 Chaos Damage per cast, a X% Base Critical Hit Chance as well as a 0.8 Meter Impact Radius
• Despite having the Projectile modifier, any Support Gem, Equipment, Buff, or Passive Skill that modifies the amount of projectiles an attack releases does not apply to Vile Effusion. Any augmentation to projectile speed, damage type as well as critical hit chance and critical hit damage bonus are applied completely normal.
• Dark Effigy has a health pool and can be attacked by enemies. It is destroyed if either its life span expires or its health points reach 0. It is immune to all forms of ailments or debuffs.^{(Needs further testing, do not rely on this info for now)}
