[edit] Synergy with Enfeeble

I think this could go for being changed. Enfeeble causes weakness, and so does Virulence. It's not synergistic, it's actually kind of redundant. Mesodreth Blackwing 01:51, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Enfeeble causes weakness, then if you cast Virulence afterwards, he/she will suffer from the others two conditions as well, weakness will not be re-applied. I think what the note means is that you can cast both of these then Virulence since they have a low activation and recharge, then taking the full effect of Virulence. Either (around) 2 secs total with Enfeeble or 3 secs total with Weaken Armor.--ShadowFog 15:02, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Agreed no synergy here, especially since weaken armor got buffed, removing notes. --Lou-Saydus 22:38, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Honestly, the note should say "Good synergy with skills that cause conditions" <_< 67.82.179.27 03:10, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fragility

Use with no points in death magic, so the conditions only last 3 seconds, put fragility on them first and bring some other cond skills... about to go try this in AB -Starshadow

Fragility and Weaken Armor + this = 20- al alot of hp degen and health loss--87.227.96.88 15:53, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Antidote signet removes all the conditions applied, making it useful for areas with foes using this. --Chieftain Alex 10:29, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Good Combo for Sword W/N?

Sever Artery > Gash > Virulence

I haven't played one and my N/Me isn't high enough to capture Virulence but with -11 Degen and Weakness for only 10 Adrenaline and 5 Energy it doesn't seem like a bad combo (for PvE!). I'm sure there are better Sword Elites out there but again, I don't have a warrior to know from experience. How does this add up? 98.230.1.141 13:28, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Only if you like RC. Backsword 13:46, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

I Know the above comments are a bit old but I sometimes have my warrior use Sever Artery, Virulance, Gash in that combo and it works great, I have Koss also manage that combo too and it all works pretty surprisingly nice. You cap out the degeneration on a foe, weaken him so he deals 66% less damage and -1 attributes AND lower his max health. Sick. - Chrisworld 03:29, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

In Prophecies-days this was an awesome combo, i used it a lot in RA =D but now it's just inferior to all popular RA builds... --85.1.206.113 14:14, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

there's a big bolded for pve part in there. i wouldn't know how effective it is either since i don't play war. edit: after looking at my hero wars, i think cripslash does better since it adds a nice cripple in there and you dont need to spec into something wierd. Roflmaomgz 00:32, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Generally for PvE, crippling isn't a great condition. However, disease is great in some parts of PvE (those parts with homogenous fleshy groups of non-humans). -~=Sparky (talk) 02:00, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
