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)
 * this is incredible in RA, since most Assassins and Dervishes hasnt played Necromancer and dont know the power in curses, they tend to commit suicide fairly quick with this hex on them!! Majnore, 03:43, 1 August 2007 (CDT)

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)

It has some resemblance to eddie on some of the older iron maiden album covers--DVDA

Overpowered
Confirm/deny?

In low end pvp, this basically makes you invincible against all melee with no hex removal. P A R A S I T I C 15:21, 4 August 2007 (CDT)
 * This is why i never go Melee (except spike sin sometimes) in RA. -- Xeon 15:24, 4 August 2007 (CDT)

Triger time
Should note about triger time added into description? Insidious Parasite trigered before damage from attack. --Master of shadows 06:38, 1 June 2007 (CDT)
 * If you want, go ahead. --Fyren 12:37, 1 June 2007 (CDT)
