Deathlore (skill)

Using Deathlore, a Carnifex pulls souls from the Underhalls, brazenly defying the Underking Himself to augment their own power, in addition to sapping that of their enemies in the midst of combat. The skills range in effect from defenses and personal benefit to thwarting enemies and, with enough skill and garnered energy, may seal the fate of their target by reaving the very soul of the living whomever is unfortunate enough to find themselves on the wrong end of the wrath of the Carnifex.

Culling is better suited to swarms of souls, while Strike will be more effective against wraiths. Note that in order to use Cull, Strike, and Expel, you will require a soul cleaver.

When that venom enters the blood stream, the disease will flare up, coming to life, and releasing an extra venom and a small amount of poison damage upon your opponent. This will last for 45 seconds, increasing to 60 seconds if your target is below 50% soul when cast. This effect is then consumed once it is triggered, and the ability will enter a state of cooldown for a short period of time. This ability may be performed off-balance, but consumes equilibrium.

Reave
