It deals significantly more damage against the undead.

Disruption is a brand exclusive to Undeadhunter which does the following:

  • Has a 2/3 chance to deal an average of about +150% damage (0 - 300%) to undead targets, or an average of +100% damage per swing.
Unlike other brands, the damage isn't distributed linearly. Instead, the extra damage equals 3d(3 * dam + 1)/3 - 1, so it's weighted towards the average.[1]

Unlike the similar holy wrath brand, this brand can be wielded by the undead.

History

  • In 0.9, Disruption was made an exclusive brand to the Undeadhunter.
  • Prior to 0.4, Disruption was a normal brand found on random melee weapons. Holy wrath was enhanced in its stead.
