Talk:Insidious Parasite

Holy crap. This just got a HUGE buff.--Coloneh  14:07, 26 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Yes, table needs updating too. By the way, a Curses Necro with Spiteful Spirit and Insidious Parasite, and a Blood/Dom Necro with Spoil Victor and Empathy, could deal well over 200 damage to shiro every time he attacks, with his AoE attacks and incredibly fast attacks, 4 warriors (Storm of Swords, and to trap him for aggro), these necros and 2 monks (just for general healing), he'll be taking well over 1000 damage per second.. mad.. just a shame Shiro doesn't drop greens, or I'd be taking teams to farm him :P --Terrifi Cani 17:16, 26 October 2006 (CDT)
 * If shiro dropped greens there would be 10 pages of untested builds to solo him. most of them just a greneth tank with a stupid name.--Coloneh RIP[[Image:Coloneh.png]] 00:50, 29 October 2006 (CDT)

One thing I noticed when using this in FoW is that it triggers multiple times with Barrage, and although you should be able to infer this from the skill description I was wondering if it might be an idea to state that as a note. I ask because people (who noticed) were surprised I was echoing this when going against Shadow Rangers instead of SS, but this is much more damaging and also helps to offset their party-wide damage (if you bunch too much).

 * I've also noticed this against Dervishes - I've been using this against Djinn with lots of success. PsyDoll 16:55, 4 February 2007 (CST)

updated
the update that came with nightfall claims to have upped it to 15...45. Looks like we'll need a new table. Wixery 00:02, 20 November 2006 (CST)

Miss
The note already says characters who miss will not trigger insidious. --Fyren 18:21, 19 December 2006 (CST)

Icon
Parasite's icon continues to creep me out. I sometimes think twice about loading my Curses template because of it! =) — HarshLanguage 18:42, 25 December 2006 (CST)
