Is the AE condition spreading on the skill Epidemic large enough to make it worth putting it into a condition build? (that alredy has an elite)

Hella Good · Aug 28, 2006, 12:13 AM // 00:13

That already has an elite? That is... completely irrelevant, unless you are taking Fevered Dreams as an elite, which is a completely irrelevant elite anyway. Epidemic is a staple PvE skill, in PvP its uses are much more limited.

Virulence + Bleeding + Epidemic on huge groups packed together.

Wrong sequence. Bleeding, then Virulence, then Epidemic.

Epidemic is very usefull in crowded areas like Fort Aspenwood or AB with MM Necros.

Need to be coupled with Ineptitude and/or deep wound.

Its use in a condition build is (imo) very limited. Better use Fevered Dreams instead, but as you have another Elite, you'll probably need a second caster.

Couldn't a condition spam like this do good for urgoz? For atleast barrage/pet groups since they won't have instant nukers. You would be able to keep mass conditions on them while you have your minions and pets tanking so you don't get the disease back.

Epidemic is very useful in FoW and UW where the monsters bunch up. It only makes sense that it might be equally as useful in Urgoz/Deep. Pick a target, pump all the conditions that you want on it and then AoE them. Blind, Daze, and Deep Wound are esp. effective. I used to Blind/DW while my Ranger team mates would Daze and then I'd AoE it. They will just spam Barrage from that point on. Sources of these conditions are many and it is up to your personal preference how you build. Normally Illusion is the place to start.

It says that epidemic 'transfers' the condition. Does this mean that the original target will no longer be affected with the condition(s) when I use this on it?

AoE deep wound is sexy.

True, however now you have several many monsters degening instead of just one, and as for him you simply reapply the conditions when those skills have reset.

They dont lose the condition. Not that Im aware of. It simply spreads the condition and its remaining duration around.

Themis · Sep 08, 2006, 03:58 PM // 15:58

Hella is right. (who said "always" ?) Epidemic "copies" the condition and its remaining duration to adjacent foes.

I used to farm Ettins before with Domination build (I dont like IW farm build). It copies the conditions, not removing from the one which we target.
