Decrepify combines the effects of Amplify Damage and Weaken, and also slows opponents as though they were chilled. Damage, speed, and physical resistance are all reduced by 50%.

Decrepify can therefore decrease the damage output of enemies by slowing their attack (although it does not slow the actual speed of their projectiles). Its effects, however, are independent of cold damage and Slows Target equipment; any combination of the three can stack and slow enemies to a very slow crawl. Amplify Damage is still better for damage-dealing purposes as its reduction to enemy physical resist is higher.

This curse breaks the Immune to Physical on monsters, though resistance penalty is greatly weakened (working at only 1/5th effectiveness) in these cases.

The Reaper's Toll and have a high chance of casting this spell on striking. The Executioner's Justice causes Decrepify to be cast whenever it is used to kill a target.
