Iron Maiden

From Diablo 4 Wiki

Iron Maiden is a Necromancer skill from the Curse skill tree. Its features are:

Grants Player Exploits Condition
Pysical Dmg N/A
Essence
Heals
Curse
Corruption

'Creates Condition' means this skill creates this condition i.e it could make a target Vulnerable that other skills can take advantage of. 'Exploits Condition' means this skill takes advantage of a condition, not necessarily of its own making. So for example another skill might Stun and this skill could take advantage of that.
