Description

Creates a duplicate of yourself that draws fire from enemies.

Decoy
allows you to reduce the amount of damage you take. When cast, a
Decoy
will appear where your mouse pointer was when the spell was cast. The
Decoy
looks exactly like you but it does not move. If it is hit a lot, it will sometimes appear to walk a little bit.

Most monsters will attack the
Decoy
instead of you if the
Decoy
is closer. Cast a
Decoy
in front of you then stand behind it. Use it as a Human or Magic shield. In most cases, the monsters will attack the
Decoy
instead of you, especially when it's closer. Some monsters have different ideas as to what to attack but even if all of the monsters don't attack the
Decoy
, any monsters attacking the
Decoy
instead of you is helpful. Many Unique Monsters are not fooled by Decoys.

Decoy
is great from level 24 to 30 before you have a
Valkyrie
. Use
Decoy
a lot to help deflect fire. Lead monsters until they are on one side of you then cast a
Decoy
and hide behind it.
Decoy
is still useful once you get a
Valkyrie
. The
Valkyrie
attracts the fire of some monsters but there are still situations where
Decoy
will help out. When there are a lot of dangerous ranged attackers hitting you, cast a
Decoy
. The
Decoy
will absorb some of the fire. Also, use
Decoy
when there are a lot of monsters that you cannot quickly kill.

Hotkey
Decoy
so you can easily cast it.

Decoy
is a good monster detector. Cast a
Decoy
up ahead of you and see if it is hit. If so, you know there are monsters ahead. Walk up and stand behind the
Decoy
and use it as cover.
If you are hit while casting
Decoy
, your spell casting will be interrupted and the
Decoy
will not appear. If you are hit while casting
Decoy
, cast the
Decoy
again. With % Mana Steal items you can quickly recover your Mana.

The
Decoy
will only last as long as it has Life. Decoys have the same Life as the casting Amazon. Decoys will be destroyed if they take too much damage. The duration time for
Decoy
is only the case if the
Decoy
doesn't take enough damage to be killed during that time.

Strafe
will fire more arrows if you have a
Decoy
out which is another good reason to use
Decoy
.


Some players can be fooled by Decoys in player vs. player battles. Not everyone is aware of this skill.

The
Decoy
has resistances and skills like Avoid and
Dodge
.

Decoy
Resistance = level * 4, capped at 85.

Lore

Amazons derive another benefit while learning to fight in the rainforests of their homeland.

They learn, through misdirection and deception, to fool attacking forces into thinking there is another Amazon nearby.

This subterfuge causes enemies to waste time and energy hunting down false prey while the Amazon moves in for the kill.

Can be used to make Runewords:

Interestingly, the dupicate created by
Decoy
has the highest regeneration rate of any unit in the game, regaining approximately 9.15% of its Life per second. Source.

was only on old versions
https://diablo2.diablowiki.net/Decoy
In earlier versions of the game, a
Decoy
's presence would allow the Amazon to fire an additional shot with
Strafe
. This is no longer the case post-v1.09.

It has to be noted that
Decoy
underlies a massive bug created by stack overflows. At a certain threshold of skills used in a session the
Decoy
will die in one hit no matter what enemy hits it. this issue apperently exists for over a year now unadressed by a certain small indie company
