Afflicted Soul Explosion

Effect
When Afflicted creature dies, all nearby foes are struck for 1...112 damage.

Description
The damage caused by the Explosion is scaled by the diffrence between your level and 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 already deal high damage because of their level.

Strategy
If you find yourself near an Afflicted about to die, move away quickly if you are low on health. Since warriors usually have high health they generally don't need to move, an exception is if you are have a high death penalty on you in which case warriors are also likely to be killed by the explosion.

If you are low on health and are near an Afflicted with full health, you should be fine (ignoring the damage you're already receiving if the Afflicted is targeting you). However, if you have a spiker or nuker on the team, make sure you have time to escape before they unload the damage.

Extra Notes
Afflicted Bulls, Moas, Bears etc. are added to the mix of afflicted in Shing Jea Island, though do not have an arsenal of skills like the "human" afflicted (those originally human), as they usually only have Frenzy, have no elite skills, "boss versions" or have higher leveled versions of themselves in Kaineng City. Afflicted Bulls still however release an Afflicted Soul Explosion. The other formerly tamable animals aren't known to release an explosion as "human" afflicted and Bulls do, since most animals are Sickened, not Afflicted.
