Skills - Epidemic

Can i capture this skill or i have u get it with faction points? Both options are valid, you can also buy it from the npc since its not an elite skill.

My bad. The guru forum skill listings are updated as they're corrected. The skill previously didn't have that little clarfication, so it's understandable to miss.

As for the skill's usage, from what I hear, the range is very small.

i was thinking of using it with conjure phant. and phantom pain sice my mesmer uses ele skills for group control. Would that work? Nope, those are hexes...only conditions spread,so in case of conjure there is no effect. Same for phantom, but the deep wound (was it?) is a condition and will spread.

So how can one distinguish between hexes and conditions?

I was thinking of using this with my necro/mes for like hitting one guy with a bunch of health degens then epidemic to give everyone the degen. but now i dont think that will work. hmm that sucks This is what you want to do. Specialise in death with a bit of curses. You need to following skills and to cast them in this order

1) Chillblains - Main job is to poison yourself (explanation coming)
2) Plague sending - Transfer that poisoned condition to target
3) Virulence - Target then also becomes diseased and weakened
4) Epidemic - Transferes Poison (4 degen) Disease (4 degen) and
weaken to all near by foes.

5) WINNER!!!!!

Note - With good teamwork you can get rid of Chilblains. Say a ranger or warrior can cause bleeding, all you need to do then is Virulence and epidemic to spread 8 or so arrows of degen and weakness to all nearby foes. Plus disease has the ability to spread to others by itself. Play around with these skills and I'm sure you'll come up with something thats good for you.

P.S Any Necro using epicdemic can be leathal in 8v8
