'''Desecrating''' is a [[boss modifierFile:Boss-molten-unburied2.jpg|thumb|400px|An [[Unburied]] spawns a mass of Desecrator pits.]] in [[DiabloDesecrator]] III. The exact nature of the modifier is currently unknown, but it appears to imbue the boss with a crackling [[arcaneBoss Modifier]] energy (which, in Diablo III, is normally represented with the color purple).
As every other element appears It grants Bosses and Champions the ability to create an orange-red, "lava pit" below the feet of any nearby character. These pits deal substantial physical damage to anyone foolish enough to remain standing atop one, and force players to keep moving from spot to be present as spot during combat. The pits give away their appearance by growing from just a few dots of color into a boss modifierswirling pattern, before manifesting fully. This gives alert players enough warning to move out of the way before the damage begins, it assuming their path is not blocked by monsters, or other Boss Modifiers such as [[Jailer]], [[Waller]], or the like. The Desecrated pools remain active for around 12 seconds before dissipating, and during long battles with a fair assumption that it increases the boss' resistance and minions all casting Desecration, entire screens can be come virtually impassable due to arcane the pits of damage while also increasing its own arcane damage output. * Monster Level Minimum: 22* Available to: Champions, Bosses, and boss minions. * Damage Type: Physical* Additional Resistances: None<br> ==Media== <gallery>File:Boss-molten-unburied2.jpg|Desecrating [[Unburied]] Champions.</gallery>
