Bio Engineer Archive

Hi,

I have been working on pets with strong poison and strong disease specials (like a death's head), but recently when a Death's Head decided it didn't particularly like me helping myself to its genetic material I got diseased by it.

What surprised me was how slow acting the disease was. Sure it didn't subside but it was only about 6 health wound every so often, pretty bad for me (especially as I logged out later still diseased and when I logged in I had no disease but also only 1 health and over 1000 health wounds, yikes!).

Anyway the question is - is this typical for disease because if so it makes it pretty useless (I think) in pve, so would I be better switching to say strong poison/intimidate or strong poison/blind as my specials.

Any insight most appreciated.

Strong disease *is* useless in pve. It's somewhat desirable in pvp just for the grief that it causes others. Seriously, most of the time I'd rather die than have a strong disease put on me, and although I don't pvp I'm sure I'd feel the same way if I did.
