Acquisition
Notes
- Plague Touch is excellent condition removal for any Necromancer due to the low cost, quick activation, instantaneous recharge, and because of its offensive nature.
- Some Necromancer skills put long lasting negative conditions on the user. This is the simplest way to move those conditions to an enemy.
- Can be used well with skills that cause conditions on yourself to negate their drawback by sending those to foes. See Self condition inflict skills quick reference for an overview.
- This skill can be used with some melee attack combinations, such as with Headbutt, Quivering Blade, and Wearying Strike, and would then double as a skill for defensive and offensive purposes, increasing its value on your skill bar further.
- It should be noted that condition extending weapons will lengthen both self inflicted conditions and any conditions transferred using plague touch (this will occur twice for self inflicted conditions)
- You will still lose a condition even if your target is already infected with it or otherwise immune to it (E.G trying to transfer Bleeding to a non-fleshy creature won't cause it to bleed, but will remove any Bleeding from you).
- If you transfer the Dazed condition, you will interrupt the target foe's spell, because Dazed interrupts on application (no hit required).

Anomaly! This skill's description is redundant, because all conditions are negative. |
Trivia
