Corpse Lance is a Necromancer Corpse skill in Diablo III.

In-game

This skill targets an enemy, consuming up to three nearby corpses to create a stack of several sharp bones from each. These bones will float in the air for about 0.25 seconds, and then fly at high speed at their designated target, dealing a single hit for high Physical damage per corpse.

Corpse Lance cannot be cast without a specific enemy target. Even the Shift-click will not work.

The Lance does not count as a projectile, and will bypass other enemies and most obstacles to hit its intended target.

The skill costs no Essence to cast, and has no cooldown, so with sufficient corpses, it can be used again and again (including consuming the corpses of foes killed by the previous cast).

Runes

Corpse Lances 4
  • Brittle Touch: Damage type changes to Cold, and enemies hit by the Lance become brittle, increasing their chance to be critically hit by 5% for 5 seconds. This effect stacks from multiple Lances, but the duration of each stack is not renewed.
BloodyLance3

Blood Lance

  • Blood Lance: Each corpse-consuming cast (not just Corpse Lance!) will also spend 2% of the Necromancer's total Life to launch an additional Lance from their own body. This extra Lance deals 300% damage as Physical. The Lance will be launched even if a corpse is consumed passively.
  • Visceral Impact: also Stuns the target for 3 seconds.
  • Shredding Splinters: Damage type changes to Poison, and each Lance slows the target by 10% and reduces its damage done by 6% for 10 seconds. Stacks up to 5 times.
  • Ricochet: Corpse Lance has a 20% chance to ricochet to one additional target with same damage. This effect may chain repeatedly, if chances roll right. Ricochet target must be different from the previous target hit.

Non-rune enhancements

  • The Johnstone: each corpse consumed in Land of the Dead grants a stack of Macabre Knowledge. Macabre Knowledge increases the damage of Corpse Lance and Corpse Explosion by 150-200% while outside Land of the Dead.
  • Corpsewhisper Pauldrons: damage is increased by 25-30% for 3 seconds for each cast of any skill that consumes a corpse, stacking up to 20 times.
  • Trag'Oul's Avatar Set (Set Bonus for 6 items): Blood Lance deals 3300% increased damage but costs twice as much Life to cast. Healing from skills is increased by 100%.
  • Pestilence Master's Shroud Set (Set Bonus for 2 items): each corpse consumed fires an additional Corpse Lance at a nearby enemy, dealing 800% damage (damage type is chosen based on the highest Elemental Damage skill bonus).
  • Pestilence Master's Shroud Set (Set Bonus for 6 items): each corpse consumed grants an Empowered Bone Spear charge that increases the damage of the next Bone Spear by 3000%. This effect stacks up to 100 times.

Passives

Bugs

Because of the way this skill works with Blood Lance rune, in beta it was extremely dangerous to take it in combination with Devouring Aura and Land of the Dead, as it would immediately drain all of the Necromancer's Life, uncontrollably and unstoppably.
