Forged as a gift for the union between the leaders of the Haroutunian Clan and House Chien. This brooch was favored by Lady Aerisrose, and is said to reflect her power and beauty.
Iron Rose
This phylactery is all about the Necromancer's blood magic: hits from Siphon Blood automatically and freely trigger a Blood Nova, turning your life-fueled abilities into a steady stream of area damage. On top of that, a growing damage bonus stacks onto your Death Nova every time you have lost enough of your own health.
That makes the item ideal for aggressive blood Necromancer builds that already juggle their own life bar and want to surround enemies up close. The stacking effect rewards fighting riskily in the fray rather than playing at range. Practical tip: secure solid life regeneration or life steal so you quickly recover the health you spend, keeping the nova damage bonus as high and as permanent as possible.
The Stacks in Detail
For every 10% of maximum Life lost, Death Nova gains a stack of 40–50% increased damage lasting 60 seconds, up to 10 stacks. A high roll therefore improves every single stack, and a Primal Ancient gives 50% per stack. The Blood Nova rune itself consumes 10% Life when cast - exactly the amount the power asks for per stack - and hits all enemies within 25 yards for 450% weapon damage as Physical.
Siphon Blood as the Engine
Siphon Blood generates 15 Essence every time it deals damage, while a Death Nova costs 20. The channel also heals you for 2% of your maximum Life every second, or 6% with Drain Life. Blood Sucker pulls in health globes within 40 yards, and Power Shift raises the damage by 10% per hit, up to 10 times. Since Siphon Blood has a 100% chance to trigger a free Blood Nova, the channel works as both resource source and area attack.
Stats and Pairings
The fixed rolls are +(6–8)–(7–10) Damage, +626–750 Intelligence and +626–750 Vitality. Worth adding are Critical Hit Chance, Death Nova damage, Cooldown Reduction and Area Damage. The Rose is frequently paired with Haunted Visions, Krysbin's Sentence, Bloodtide Blade, Scythe of the Cycle, Steuart's Greaves and Funerary Pick. According to the flavor text, the brooch was forged as a gift for the union of the Haroutunian Clan and House Chien - and was a favorite of Lady Aerisrose.
