Afflicted Soul Explosion

When Afflicted creature dies, all nearby foes are struck for 20...170 cold damage.

The damage caused by the Explosion is proportional to the monster's level. A low level Afflicted will explode for 40+ damage, while a level 24 Afflicted will explode for over 140 damage. This is especially painful with Afflicted bosses because they deal double damage as bosses and high damage because of their level.
