Notes

• This skill allows you to control up to 11 minions; combined with Aura of the Lich and a +1 attribute consumable, you can control 12.
• Heroes let Masochism expire before recasting it, rather than making use of its potential to boost its own strength.

Anomaly.Under rare circumstances, heroes with very low health will use a spell while under the effects of Masochism and accidentally kill themselves.
