The Necromancer skill, Epidemic, spreads the conditions on a target out to surrounding enemies in a large radius.

However, if you begin the (rather long) cast time, and during that period the target dies, the spell still completes, does absolutely nothing (but put 3 stacks of vulnerability on you), and goes on its full 15 second cooldown. It should at worst be put on the 3 second ‘disruption’ cooldown, or not go into cooldown upon losing a target at all.

Working as intended. Same happens to any skill you blow into the void. Especially mesmer suffer from this when they summon phantasms and the target dies b4 they’re done.

If the target dies before it finish casting you can cancel with escape key, dodge, stow weapon or weapon swap.
