One of the most interesting aspects of the Necromancer class is the Darkness effect. It is a type of debuff that reduces the vision and damage output of enemies or Players. Darkness is exclusive to the Necromancer class and mainly interacts with the shadow skills in the skill tree. However, enemies can also affect players with Darkness.

How to Apply Darkness

Some Skills, Items, and Passives can cause this effect. And some Legendary Aspects can also enhance the effect, such as the Aspect of Ultimate Shadow.

Here are some examples of Skills or Passives related to the Darkness Status Effect:

How to Recognize Darkness

Players inflicted by Darkness will see the screen blacken out around their character, which reduces their vision, and all their abilities will be disabled during that time.

In order to avoid being afflicted by Darkness, watch out for large puddles on the ground that look like dark holes, and try to avoid them.

Additional Information About Darkness

Darkness is a useful effect for the Necromancer because it provides defensive and offensive advantages over their foes, especially in higher difficulties.
