Guild Wars 2

Hi everybody!

Thus far I have enjoyed running around with my Sylvari Necro and I’m quickly closing in on reaching level 80. Now I have a question regarding the Elite Plague skill.

As I understand AoE effects only a limit of 5 enemies. Say I am in a dungeon, surrounded by a trash mob, or perhaps caught in a zerg (WvW) – each time I use a skill (2 for blind!) does it affect only the first 5 enemies caught in my plague AoE or does it randomly choose another 5 enemies each time I attack?

Apologies if this is a silly question!

First off you just have to hit 2 once so you dont have to keep spamming 2, although if it makes you feel better feel free todo so because it will pulse every second on its own. Secondly it will hit randomly up to 5 targets in the ring each pulse it does for the duration of the elite.

There is a bit of expansion required here. If you have a target selected, Plague will always pulse on that target (if in range). This is true of any AoE in my experience.

Second, AoE seems to prioritize those closer to the center of the effect.

Thank you everybody!
