Talk:Rotting Flesh

Technically, the game description is wrong. It should say target foe. If it really only targeted fleshy creatures it wouldn't let you start to cast on anything else, but it does take your energy and waste your time. --Fyren 10:48, 6 November 2005 (EST)

I use this skill with my 55hp monk against warriors, so they are near me all the time. I don't get disease when I cast it to my target, but every foe near the my target gets disease. (This is in PvE, I don't know how this works in PvP.) --Kalomeli 06:42, 24 April 2006 (CDT)

Wait, this says target fleshy-creature, wouldn't that mean you can cast it on allies and not just enemies? &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.73.18.225 (talk &bull; contribs) 14:19, 16 July 2006 (CDT).
 * no, ally is an invalid target. the species data is known to be stacked so disease does not spread to players when fighting in the PvE campaign. very few PvE foes (if any) are actually player-human species--Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 16:52, 16 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Well, going by the description alone, it does say that. As noted by Fyren in November, "target foe" is what it should say.  --68.142.14.7 17:02, 16 July 2006 (CDT)
 * perhaps i should have clarified. tested: target ally is "Invalid Spell Target". i think the blurb about "fleshy creature" is because things like Ice Golems are immune to disease. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 17:47, 16 July 2006 (CDT)
 * I did not claim you could target allies. I suppose it does say "fleshy creature" in some half-assed attempt to describe how disease works, but instead ends up claiming you can target allies (due to it not saying target foe) and that you can't target non-fleshy creatures (due to it saying target fleshy creature).  --68.142.14.7 17:52, 16 July 2006 (CDT)

Hex Spell?
Why is this classified as a hex spell? --Shattered Self 17 July 2006, 18:12 (CDT)
