What makes Diablo 4's corpses so explodeable? It seems like all my Necromancer has to do is gesture vaguely at them and they spontaneously burst into clouds of red mist like they've been stuffed with C4. I can't say that I expected a skill called Corpse Explosion to be my favourite thing about Diablo 4 when I started playing the beta, but there's a certain je ne sais quoi to weaponizing the bodies of your foes and detonating them deep in the ranks of their former comrades. If Necromancer is a class that's thematically about subverting will, Corpse Explosion is pretty fitting—I know I wouldn't want my body to randomly blow up.
Consuming cadavers is a big part of being a Necro in Diablo 4, letting you summon skeletal soldiers and mages who protec, attac, and just generally distrac big bosses and enemies while you weave your death magic in the background. Before long your screen is overflowing with corpsey goodness, but having hit your max number of skelly servants, there are few ways to harness these excess bodies beyond summoning a one-off priest to buff your soldiers. The answer? Explode those corpses.
