Curse

OK, I am a N/Mo in Elona and I mostly am a minion master but am starting to wonder about other types of builds for the N/. Well, I have been looking at Plague Touch, and am quite confused in a few areas...
It says, and I quote, "Transfers 1...3 Negative conditions from yourself to target foe." Now I guess my question would be is how do I get those negative conditions in the first place? My guess would be you use in combination with a skill like ChillBlains as it poisons you for 10 seconds and while you are poisoned, you use Plague Touch and transfer that condition to the target enemy.
Now, what other skills would you use in combination with Plague Touch for good effect?

Thanks In Advance and I Appreciate All Responses...

Plague touch is a bad idea for necro primaries. It's primarily used by frontliners with a /N secondary. Plague Sending is better. A good way to get those conditions is by either causing them on yourself, like you said, or using Foul Feast to transfer conditions to you from your allies, and to the enemy through Plague Sending

Huh, didn't know that Plague Touch was such a bad idea as I have seen many builds with it involved... Well, while I'm asking, Is a Cursing build a Good Idea, because I like Slow, Painful, Dreaded Death... Yeah, but what would be a good curse build for beginners...

Thanks Again, Zinfandel

Vampiric Touch and Vampiric Bite on a Touch Ranger

I used it along with Wild Blow to play with my warrior in Tombs. It works OK for dealing with Fingers of Chaos. Basically, it's best for /N front-line characters, as previously mentioned.

Plague Touch is a very good skill used by headbutt warriors.

The reason that it isn't a "best" choice is because it is a "Touch Skill"

This means the Necro (who is a ranged Caster mostly) now has to walk up to frontline with the melee classes and risk getting whooped because of his low Armor Rating.

I used to use it a lot on my Warrior.

plague touch is best in pvp as a caster, if a derv/sin/war is attacking u in melee u can quickly transfer the conditions they do to you back

Plague touch is mainly a good skill to get rid of a condition on a frontliner (mainly blindess). Otherwise if I am a caster, I would prefer the combination of Foul Feast (transfer conditions to yourself from an ally) and Plague Sending (sends those conditions to multiple foes). That is a pretty slick combo in PvP.

Are you sure that wasn't Plague Sending or Plague Signet? Plague Touch, as many of the others have said is generally a X/N skill for, also stated Headbutt Warriors who get Daze on themselves, and then use Plague Touch to transfer it to their target.
