Effects by level

Evolution requirements

Synergies and practical checks

• Its totem rises in the middle of the nearest pack: it needs no corpse, where Diablo II’s raises it from one. Raising it also scares the monsters close to him.
• The totem scares what comes near it twice a second while it stands. Act bosses never flee.
• It deals no damage of its own, so gear’s +skills raise its reach, length and strength.

Skill modifiers

• Lure — The totem draws monsters to it instead of making them flee. It stands for 30% less time.
• Dread Ward — Monsters near the totem take 25% more damage instead of fleeing in terror.
• Martyr Totem — As it falls, it bursts for 168 damage, more with Attack Damage, out to twice its reach. It stands for 40% less time.
