Usage Notes
Virulence is popular with PvP Mesmers/Necromancers. Focusing upon dealing a large amount of damage quickly to a single target, the skills used are: Fragility, Phantom Pain, Shatter Delusions, and Virulence. Fragility causes a large amount of damage whenever the hexed foe receives or recovers from a new condition. Once Phantom Pain is active, use Shatter Delusions to remove the hex; using that combo causes a Deep Wound, and then cast Virulence to induce 3 more conditions. All are short lived, causing a large spike in damage to a single target.
