Static Field

 is a Sorceress Skill in Diablo II.

Lore
''A devastating spell of limited range, Static Field instantly removes a good portion of the health of nearby enemies. Thusly injured, enemies are easy prey to the follow-up attacks of the Sorceress or her party members. Subsequent castings do less damage, but in combination with other spells or a decisive melee attack, a Sorceress can rely on this powerful ability to quickly dispatch even the strongest of foes. ''

General Information
Static Field cuts the life of all surrounding enemies within a certain radius of the player by 25% of their current (not maximum!) life. This can be cast consecutively to lower an enemy's life considerably, and it does work on bosses; however, in Static Field does not reduce an enemy's health below 33%, and in  it doesn't lower Life below 50%.
 * Gives synergy to :
 * Nova: +5% Lightning Damage per level
 * Thunder Storm: +7% Lightning Damage per level
 * Receives synergy from : None

In PvP, Static Field deals a very limited amount of damage: 1/6 of what it would normally deal, i.e. 1/24 of Life per cast before resistances.

Additional points into Static Field do not increase its damage; it only increases its radius of effect; therefore, many players choose to only put one point into it, as it still retains its effectiveness even at low levels.

Although Static Field is affected by enemy Lightning Resist (with &mdash;100, it will cut 50% of Life per cast), friendly skills like Lower Resist or Conviction will not affect Static Field.
