Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read this. Hopefully I can get some clear and descriptive answers.

First off, there’s a rumor on re balancing (nerfing) Epidemic. I understand how this skill may be considered “OP”, but at the same I don’t…. I mean, it’s easily the best skill (in my opinion) for Necro’s. Most builds include it. I can understand a Minion Master Necro not using it, but that’s about it. But, PvP wise, there are plenty of ways to overcome this for other classes since they can convert conditions or rid them in some way. Especially as a Conditionmancer, I need this skill! In what ways do you think they would nerf it (theoretically)?

Secondly! As a conditionmancer, I’m torn between Signet of Spite and Corrosive Cloud. Signet of Spite seems nice since it applies most of the conditions in the game at once. But, usually I already have those conditions applied. But, I may be under estimating it’s usefulness. For Corrosive Cloud, the cast time is annoying, but not bad. I’m usually using a scepter/dagger, so I apply poison with the 1 skill on the third attack, and can spread that with Epidemic. Or, maybe there is another skill better than both of these for AOE conditions?

TL;DR Is Epidemic doom to nerf, if so how? And, Signet of Spite or Corrosive Cloud? Or, possibly something that is better than both for AOE conditions. Thank you!

Both signet of spite and corrosive cloud are terrible. Put your mind at ease and use neither.

Epidemic nerf will probably only affect Spvp, so all that means is Necro’s will once again be useless in Spvp, might not affect pve, if it does, then you really do have a solid reason to quit lol, because that would be ridiculous.

For open world PVE and most dungeon situations you should take neither of the 2 skills you mentioned, here are some ideas:
Well of Darkness – 5 sec AoE blind, dark combo field – breathing room for you and/or the party
Well of Suffering – DPS+Vulnerability stacks+dark combo field
Well of Power/Well of Suffering – situational, use if needed in certain fights
Blood is Power – THE solo PVE skill
Spectral Grasp/Spectral Walk – situational, yet useful
Spectral Wall – Vulnerability+Protection+Ethereal combo field
Plague Signet – nice for condition heavy dungeon fights, dont kill yourself with it xD
