Usage Strategies "Your Majesty, there's been a fire." As of patch 2.31, this spell has a tremendous exploit when modified in a specific way. With the Relapse (duration) bronze mod, the Transmission (enhanced spread) silver mod, and Contaminate (range) modifictions, it is very easy to get the spell's effect to travel very far off-screen from the character, and can kill great numbers of monsters in a very short time. This effect can happen with other combinations of modifications, but it seems to be most powerful when these specific modifications are chosen and when the character has the specific shrunken head of surrounding monsters equipped. While this can be used to obtain large amounts of experience in a very short time, there is the problem of obtaining items and money dropped by monsters that have died far away from the character; most of the loot will rot long before the character can locate it. Since the spell's effect travels in an expanding wave around where the outbreak began, the vast majority of loot will inevitably be wasted. This exploit continues to work well into Platinum difficulty, and in fact becomes even more powerful in contrast to other combat arts as difficulty goes up, since it inflicts damage by a percentage of the infected monster's current health. This exploit has been reported to Ascaron as a multiplayer server bug, as the calculation of hundreds of monsters transmitting the disease back and forth causes very noticeable overhead and can make the client unresponsive. It would be a major breach of etiquette to abuse this technique on a multiplayer server. Pros and Cons Pros ... ...
