Default Putrid Explosion isn't so "Putrid"!
[skill=big]Putrid Explosion[/skill]

What's the point of a putrid explosion that doesn't poison anyone? You would think that would make more sense, at least in name, but apparently it doesnt. Putrid Explosion isn't so putrid. Does anyone else agree that this skill should cause poisoning? I always thought it did, but apparently I was wrong.

The word "Putrid" relates to decomposition of matter, not necessarily poisoning. I find Putrid Explosion to be a very good skill, it has a nice recharge, and deals a fair bit of damage to nearby foes. It has a very short cast for a corpse exploitation spell, which makes it a good "counter" to other corpse users, but if it were to apply poison, I expect the skill's stats, energy cost, recharge etc.. to change accordingly. Since I've been playing this skill has never spread poison.

Balance.

Back in the day it had 0 recharge, it was one of the most broken skills ever, adding poison would make it much too powerful.
