Paranoia

Tooltip

N'Zoth selects pairs of players and fills their minds with all-consuming Paranoia for 15 sec.

Paranoid players must be of their paired partner or suffer 14 Shadow damage every 1 sec. This damage increases over the duration of Paranoia.

Affected players do not trust their allies while paranoid. Coming of an unpaired ally causes the player with Paranoia to be drained of 5 sanity every 1 sec while they remain near their ally.
