Description
Curses a group of enemies, causing them to damage themselves when damaging others.
Key details
- This only works on melee monsters.
- When casted on melee monsters, any damage to you or your Minions will be reflected back to them only more so.
- Monsters will kill themselves by attacking you and your Minions.
- As more points are placed in Iron Maiden, the damage monsters receive back increases.
- Sometimes a monster will kill themselves by attacking in only one hit.
- Iron Maiden makes Skeletons and Skeletal Mages highly effective, even at high levels.
- For this spell to work, all you need is something for the monsters to hit.
- Skeletons, Skeletal Mages, your Golem, Revived Attract the monsters, they hit them, and are killed because of the damage received back with the Iron Maiden curse.
- Remember Iron Maiden will not work against ranged attackers.
- Switch to Amplify Damage against spell casters and any non-melee attacking monster.
- Iron Maiden only affects physical damage dealt.
- The damage returned is also purely Physical (not, for instance, magic).
- Physical Resistance is fully effective against it.
- Iron Maiden makes quick work of Hephasto the Armorer and The Smith.
- Iron Maiden works against the Flayer's blowgun darts.
- Iron Maiden becomes less effective on Nightmare and Hell Difficulty.
D2Emu Tips
- Iron Maiden is particularly useful against Act Bosses in Normal difficulty, who deal 200% damage against Hirelings and 400% damage against Minions and are otherwise very difficult for a summoner to dispatch.
- Saracen's Chance has 10% chance to cast level 2 of this curse which does not count to your personally cast curses and comes with 225% damage reflect.
