Necrotic Touch

Witch skill · Decay line · tier 1

Beta 0.7.2

Where the hand touches, the flesh loses its colour.

It is only used in combat once it is placed on the hero's active bar, and its 8 s cooldown is before cooldown reduction.

Values by rank

Necrotic Touch scales with Decay. Its value at each rank is 18.4 + 5.2 × rank:

Rank	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Value	23.6	28.8	34	39.2	44.4	49.6	54.8	60	65.2	70.4

The value is the game's internal number for this skill.

in combat = round(value × skill power × max(0.35, hero damage ÷ 600))
hero damage = Attack + all elemental damage
skill power = 1 + 1% per point in the other Decay skills + 2% per rank of each skill that boosts it

The damage factor has a minimum of 0.35 and no maximum. A hero with 600 damage and no line mastery or synergies gets the listed value; how it becomes damage or healing per hit depends on the skill's type and timing.
