Is "Angel of Death" necro skill broken?

Hello, ive just started playing MedianXL Ultimative XVc, and Im courious is that Necromancer skill named "Angel of Death" is that powerfull, or is just broken? At skill level of 3 the poison damage from that skill is 3200-6000 and Im 1-hitting everything during Act 1. Is that normal? Thanks for answer

it's fine, it has no aoe so it's useless vs crowds

Angel of death indeed has high poison damage, its normal. Later tho you'll realize its really not that powerful.

Thank You for quick answers, I will try necro melee so

It's a good skill against some single stationary targets like Totems in Kurast 3000 BA uberlevel, Infernal Machine uberquest, Crystal Ball from Cathedral of Vanity uberquest. You'll need this skill later in Destruction difficulty.

Also, there's a glitch when your necromancer doesn't jump when you cast AoD. It happens sometimes. Restarting the game will cure it.

its the old leap attack bug, also plagues charge type skills. happens when Knocked back while using skill.

Some mobs simply have high avoid. AoD is hopeless against them.

Actually, not many monsters have avoid. I m working on bestiary and only about 4-5% of all monsters have a avoid bonus and 99% of them are either Uber monster/boss or a superunique.

I used the term "some", not "many". Also why would you use AoD on regular monsters, obviously parasite would fit better. Since AoD has incredible poison dmg, it is supposed to be good for single targets, but single targets that you cant kill with parasite tend to have some avoid and thus AoD takes a few hits.
