Iron Maiden

From Diablo 2 Wiki

Iron Maiden

Required Level: 12
Prerequisites: Amplify Damage
Details: Causes the physical, melee damage inflicted by the target to reflect back to themselves. Does not effect non-physical damage, or non-melee attacks.

  • Iron Maiden does not affect archers, but does reflect damage to the Flayer blowdart gunners.
  • Iron Maiden is best used against fast hitting melee monsters, especially if the Necromancer's minons are not capable of dealing high damage (which is better teamed with Amplify Damage.)
  • The target still takes full damage when hit by an Iron Maiden'ed enemy. The Cursed monster just takes much more, reflected back.
  • Iron Maiden is nerfed in Nightmare and Hell, and in PVP.
