Hey there,

I was wondering has anyone else had problems with skills like epidemic and fevered dreams. They don't seem to work at all. I basically have a n/me condition build. I wanted to spread conditions to other enemies though rather than just a single target. I am now using epidemic but it doesn't a thing by the looks of it. Why is this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Epidemic's range is about the width of a character. Ridiculously small.

Fevered Dreams's range is better, but will likely get removed quickly.

What is the point in having such a skill? Its ridiculously circumstantial. This skill hasn't worked once for me. Thanks anyway.

if u really want to test the skill out use it with some skill that will set them on fire like Immolate. if u see that there all on fire then u know it works if u dont then then some thing took the hex off or its buged.

What does the skill description say? Adjacent Targets? Look at the Guild Wars Game Updates page it gives a very good description of what that means. With that knowledge you will be able to determine if you can affect the people with conditions.

It does work fine, but as mentioned, your enemies have to be grouped beside each other. I find it works really well in PvE (I use it in combo with Virulence), although it will only work against bleeders (i.e. no undead or stone thingies or azures etc.). You have to manage aggro or group with a warrior who can do so. Fortunately, Epidemic has a short recharge, so if you miss, you may have a chance to hit them again.
