Oooooh.... or a Utility/TM spell that sucks all the infection out of you and deposits it directly into the target. That'd be way more fun.

>>This is a massive pulsing damage that don't go away until your fully healed, problem is getting fully healed with current healing effectiveness of necromancer spells means your probably just gunna die anyways.

I know my experience isn't every experience, but I tend to just eat a ton of low level mobs to make the infection go dormant. I'd agree completely that at-level infection fixing would be hard.

>I have never had any issues healing gangrene down at level

We can't be talking about the same thing here, I am talking about when HEALTH reads Your wounds are infected.
When that is the case your skin leaks puss and such and pulses huge vitality hits and increases the wounds severity making it harder to heal to no wounds to make the infection dormant. Then, a slight scratch will trigger it over again. Its not impossible to fix the situation just having a spell to fix it would be something extremely useful considering we cannot use empaths at all now.

"Burn him! Burn him!" You hear the cries echo around you as everyone in the vicinity suddenly moves away, giving you a wide berth! It goes without saying you'll be wanted for forbidden practices in The Rakash Village.

>I'm assuming that you meant "its now impossible" vs "its not impossible" since your stance up to now is that it's very difficult to deal with, so keep that in mind.

First 'my stance up until now' consisted of the original post on this perticular topic, so presuming anything is speculation on your part. I did mean 'its not impossible' not 'its now impossible'.

>problem is getting fully healed with current healing effectiveness of necromancer spells means your probably just gunna die anyways

This refers to at level hunting and making it to a critter than can get mowed down extremely easy isn't always on option for a quick fix up or if you have a WHOLE BUNCH of scuffs in different areas it becomes a pain regardless.

>So can we PLEASE get infection added to the list of stuff 'Devour' heals or a cast option on 'Consume Flesh' to remove infections?

What would really help is this. You'd think a necromancer that can mutate his body beyond normal limits to produce supernatural effects as well as do a phenominal job raising and preserving decaying material(something that breeds bacteria and other infectious stuff) would be able to (with enough skill) do something about the infection in his own body.

"Burn him! Burn him!" You hear the cries echo around you as everyone in the vicinity suddenly moves away, giving you a wide berth! It goes without saying you'll be wanted for forbidden practices in The Rakash Village.

Game balance? After a certain point I cannot utalize an empath, everyone else has the option of an empath taking thier infection/disease. So how 'unbalancing' is it to have the ability(as a class that eventually CANNOT recieve the benefit of empathic healing) to heal my own infections and diseases.

>>But I would like to see Necromancers get some kind of tool around infection and poison.

I keep picturing a spell that transfers the infection/poison into a stored instant TM attack that we can spit out later.

The GMs may consider it to be an intentional weakness of the necromancer guild. I don't know.

In that case with the 3.0 changes and things taking longer to kill making it take an exceptionally long time with the effectiveness of the current healing spells available to us, could we get infection toned down until whenever there is a remedy or some option at dealing with it? I can lose limbs and be safer from death than getting an infection. Just seems off to me.

Yeah, I can usually clear low level mobs in 2-3 swings...

>>Can we get its effect tweak down a little then?

It wouldn't shock me if diseases are assessed at the same time poisons are, which is a precursor to releasing the poison craft.

>>Regen rates for health are way down from what they used to be, making even a small periodic disease hit lethal over time.

I don't feel the potency chanced as they are parsed out differently.

In 2.0 you'd get small amounts every few seconds.

In 3.0 you get a big chunks every so often.

I also think there's an overall bigger increase in vitality in 3.0.

All that said, I think the infection problem some people are perceiving is more on the wound end than an issue with vitality.

Maybe I'm missing something...why are people who can heal themselves staying bloody long enough to get infected in the first place?

One of the possible research topics (you initially will get to choose 3 out of 6-7 possible projects) is developing a ritual to transfer disease into a corpse.

>One of the possible research topics (you initially will get to choose 3 out of 6-7 possible projects) is developing a ritual to transfer disease into a corpse.

Disease as in 'open and oozing sores'? Because this isn't much of a promblem its 'You're wounds are infected.' thats the huge pain. So if we get something to handle that in perticular I'd call it worth it.

>>Because there's a dearth of corpses in DR?

Not that I've personally noticed, but I haven't hunted everywhere. My point was we're a little more restricted than just "people who can heal themselves".

I can imagine that some people's play style might put them into positions where they end up diseased without access to a plethora of easy corpses.

>>My point was we're a little more restricted than just "people who can heal themselves".

The only time I've ever felt restricted was on the Tower and Riot II quests, because there were literally no corpses to use for me to heal. While yes, Necros require corpses to heal, I see saying that it's a restriction most of the time is like saying you're restricted by life energy availability when wanting to heal as an Empath.

>>I don't know why a Necromancer would worry about FA training via bleeding wounds. I always felt rituals teaching FA was intentional to prevent us from being particularly susceptible to infection. I haven't deliberately trained FA in ages, and it's probably my 4th or 5th survival.

FA used to be my primary survival before 3.0, but even then if I got an infection I just went and got rid of my bleeder and moved on.

>>I also said that it doesn't inconvenience me and it's only a 'a little' restriction, but it is there.

Then we agree that the need for a corpse isn't inconvenient except in highly specific circumstances.
