For some reason, I find myself inlove with this skill lol. I'm not quite sure why. But, I like to PVP in General Arena. And I am afraid to use it there because, well, I don't want to spread the disease to my team mates as well. Anyway to take precaution from diseasing your team? Or... do you just have to decide to be an ass and tell your team "sucks you got stuck with me. I payed my 50 dollars too, and I'll play how I want"?

i thought disease only affects your own team members, and that people of another team cant spread it to you, but i dont know

Indeed you don't.

Disease will spread from any human player character to any other.

Bear in mind one spawn of disease can only effect you once; so anyone who becomes diseased but is then cured will be immune untill you use Virulence again.

You could always take Tainted Flesh instead of Virulence... One-way disease.

In PvE disease only spreads to monsters. The only way to get it on your team in PvE is to put it on a necro monster and then have that monster use Plague Touch or Plague Sending. (Of course necro monsters can use Tainted Flesh, Virulence and Rotting Flesh on their own and put it on you that way.)

In PvP disease is a free radical. It will go from person to person regardless of team affinity. So it's not wise to use Rotting Flesh/Virulence in PvP unless you can do it at range and have no chance of getting it on your team. The one exception where it works well is when you use Tainted Flesh. This enchant causes any attacking foe to become diseased if they do physical damage to you. It also makes the enchanted player immune to disease. So if you can manage to keep all your teammates enchanted that will prevent disease from spreading to your team.

I believe some HoH/HA builds used to use this. I think it may have fallen out of favor. It's a nice pressure tactic though. It also works out sorta well in RA since there are only 4 players on a team. Personally I think there are better and safer forms of degen out there.

fragility + virulence is pretty powerful
