Talk:Seeping Wound

this skill modifies bleeding and poison conditions. I didn't see it in the conditions list at all or any other Assasin skills that cause bleeding. I tried to figure out how to add those skills to the list, but that page is beyond my ability. I just want to bring it to the attention of those who know how and can. thanks for the great site :)

I nominate this for most useless elite skill in the Factions set. A tiny little conditional degen, for a short amount of time. What am I missing here? --Bishop (rap|con) 11:37, 6 May 2006 (CDT)

Well I've been wondering that myself. The only conclusion I can come to is that there are several skills in the critical strike/dagger mastery attributes of the assassin that require a hex to be effective or, in some cases, even work. Since one might only want to use these 2 attributes (the only ones with passive bonuses to attack power...), this elite would give those skills requiring a hex in order to be effective, a hex, in order to be effective. Now some might argue that the no attribute hex, mark of instability works fine. I would disagree simply because of its recharge time and the fact that it disappears whenever you use a dual attack. You can keep Seeping Wound on an enemy perpetually without too much trouble. Obviously this skill would be most useful with an A/R, A/W, or A/Mo because the other classes have good hexes that don't use up your elite spot. [Wingflier]
 * Does this skill add and additonal 1..3 degen or just make the degen 1..3, because if it doesnt ADD and ADDITONAL it is counter-productive, as poison is 4 degen. Renegade of Funk 10:17, 12 May 2006 (CDT)


 * It is additional I believe-Only a Shadow

Not useless
Actually I've built an enitire build around this skill. A/R opening with apply posin and this, with twisting fangs as the dual attack. It stacks to 10 degen unless its healed. Black mantis thrust and jungle strike work well in this combo. Obviously thats 5 skills and a majority of the bar so staying alive becomes a problem, but its managable.
