Hi all,
After killing possibly hundreds of thousands of Nightsisters over the last few months in the never-ending quest for an uber pike I found a VL with a DoT I've never seen before.
It's a constitution disease with a strength of just 42 or 52 or something, it has a 400sec+ duration and an 80% potency.
The stats seem kinda rubbish to me and clearly even if the stats were good it'd only be useful to a PVPer (which i am not)
What sort of strength would make a secondary stat DoT useful?

Well, since secondaries can be buffed just as much as primary stats, to really be useful, the strength would have to be as much as the ones for primaries.

It'd certainly be useful in a large scale battle where people probably won't notice that it is a secondary attack and no primary.

I recently got a VL with a focus disease with a +60 disease tick.
It shows up in the status bar, but never ticks.

For the Health/Action Secondaries it's completly useless ..
Since everyone are using a 400/400/400 400/400/400 template the max wounds you can do with your disease will be 399 ... and sincerly he will be able to spam specials with 399 wounds anyway

On Chimeara I've sold a very nice 83 I think Action Disease and currently have a 72ish I think Focus Disease. Unfortunately, both are Vibro Lances, and I am not currently certified to use them.
