What the patch notes say

Necromancer General: Fixed an issue where many effects that allowed you to treat an entity as a corpse could confuse other Necormancer clients into thinking a corpse was available to consume or would sometimes interfere with using their own corpses. Individual corpse effects such as Malevolent Promise or Nobility in Decay should no longer interfere with other Necromancers.
