These two skills really never see play.

Why? For PvE, while mobs start off clumped together, they always break apart to attack targets in the back lines.

And for PvP, well, you just don't bunch up unless you are in a ward, which only last ~20 seconds and monks are pretty fast with [skill=text]Restore Condition[/skill]

My suggestion is to increase the range to roughly 1/2 the compass size, for both skills.

I have tried using these skills to spread conditions on my mesmer, and honestly, I find it a waste of energy.

Nothing is ever in range.

/If/ this was implimented, I would also recomend increasing the energy to ~10 or the recharge to 15. It would probobly be a bit annoying if they had this range and were that spammable.

Hypochondria is absolutely useless even if it will cover entire zone. As for Epidemic, this skill is just fine as it is now, it's cheap, unlinked, fast-casting, fast-recharging. Just touch this skill a bit and it will be insainly overpowered
I use Epidemic. I love it:

[skill]Ineptitude[/skill] or [skill]Virulence[/skill] or [skill]Hamstring[/skill] or [skill]Blinding Flash[/skill]

How dare you imply BHA requires no skill! It's 15 energy for only ~30 seconds of daze a pop! It's barely usable!
