Diseases an enemy for 30 sec., increasing the Physical damage it takes by 5% and reducing its Stamina by 5%. The diseased target has chance of spreading its illness to one of its nearby allies when struck in combat.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is 5.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 80. Its base value is -5.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 42. Its base value is 1. It triggers Wandering Plague.

What it does
