Guild Wars 2

Redditor Amerika-jinn put together this comprehensive post on how epidemic works.

I recommend reading the full post, which includes examples and deeper explanations. For convenience, here’s the short version:

Veterans of the subreddit may remember a time years past when we came together as a community and created the Reddit made “Did You Know?” series for each profession. I figured I’d Necro (forgive the pun) the series for a special two-week-after-rework-anniversary Epidemic MegaPost Special!

TL;DR Section:

Attributes of Epidemic:
• 900 radius from Prime Target
• Projectiles “seek” targets for approx. 1500 range
• Picks 5 nearby targets
• Will account for range/height difference in real time
• Will not transfer conditions if the prime target dies/cleanses conditions
• Works on Stealthed Targets, both Prime (if you cast before stealth) and Secondary
• Blocked by Invuln
• Avoided with dodge
• Can’t be reflected
• Targets random hitboxes throughout the game
• Doesn’t work on targets with the Resistance Boon (as well as siege) in WvW

Bonus Info:
• Can hit Xera Crystals
• Works with Parasitic Contagion for Good hp gain
• Epidemic Bouncing still works

Reminder: I didn’t put this together. Questions, corrections, and suggestions should be directed to the author on Reddit .
