Aspect of Pestilence is an Offensive Legendary Aspect for Spiritborn in Diablo 4. When you cast Stinger, it spawns a Pestilence Swarm at the target location that deals damage over time. These swarms now last longer and spiral outward, making them ideal for AoE layering, poison-based builds, and elite clearing strategies.
“Stinger spawns a Pestilence Swarm at its target location which deals [35–75%] of Stinger's Base damage per hit.
Pestilent Swarms now last 50% longer and spiral outwards."
Note: This is a random roll Aspect. While exact stat ranges may vary, our team always prioritizes high-value rolls whenever possible to ensure optimal performance and build potential.
