Noxious Plague
- REWORKAbility reworked.
Infects an enemy with a deadly plague that does an initial burst of damage and additional damage over time based on the unit's maximum health.
Enemies in a radius around the target are slowed, with values decreasing the farther you are from the affected enemy.
When the target dies or the debuff expires/is absorbed, all nearby enemies are infected with a noncommunicable version of the plague.
Duration: 5s. Initial Damage: 200/300/400. Max HP as Damage: 3/4/5%. Debuff Radius: 800. Min/Max Slow: 15% / 50%. Cooldown: 100/90/80s. Mana Cost: 200/300/400.
Infects an enemy with a deadly plague that does an initial burst of damage and additional damage over time based on the unit's maximum health. Initial Damage is now non-lethal.
No longer has AoE effect, now affects only the host.
Now when the plague spreads, it also carries all debuffs placed by Venomancer. Now spreads a second time, but all spreads after the first one deal no initial damage.?Doesn't stack. Applying plague to an already plague-infected unit will deal projectile damage again, but won't affect the remaining debuff duration. Duration of carried debuffs is fixed and cannot be altered with Status Resistance or Debuff Amplification.
Duration: 4s. Initial Damage: 150/200/250. Max HP as Damage: 2/3/4%. Spread Radius: 700. Cooldown: 100/90/80s. Mana Cost: 200/250/300.
