Skills - Epidemic

When this skill is cast, is the remaining time of the negative condition carried over to the new person or does it reset the timer? Anyone know?

Both options are valid, you can also buy it from the npc since its not an elite skill.

The guru forum skill listings are updated as they're corrected. The skill previously didn't have that little clarfication, so it's understandable to miss.
As for the skill's usage, from what I hear, the range is very small.

The skill is bought at the Courthouse in Old Ascalon.
Try using it in combo with a team mate who has Martyr / Plague Touch. It's Grousome.

Nope, those are hexes...only conditions spread,so in case of conjure there is no effect. Same for phantom, but the deep wound (was it?) is a condition and will spread.

So how can one distinguish between hexes and conditions?
I was thinking of using this with my necro/mes for like hitting one guy with a bunch of health degens then epidemic to give everyone the degen. but now i dont think that will work. hmm that sucks

Specialise in death with a bit of curses. You need to following skills and to cast them in this order
1) Chillblains - Main job is to poison yourself (explanation coming)
2) Plague sending - Transfer that poisoned condition to target
3) Virulence - Target then also becomes diseased and weakened
4) Epidemic - Transferes Poison (4 degen) Disease (4 degen) and
weaken to all near by foes.
5) WINNER!!!!!
Note - With good teamwork you can get rid of Chilblains. Say a ranger or warrior can cause bleeding, all you need to do then is Virulence and epidemic to spread 8 or so arrows of degen and weakness to all nearby foes. Plus disease has the ability to spread to others by itself. Play around with these skills and I'm sure you'll come up with something thats good for you.
P.S Any Necro using epicdemic can be leathal in 8v8

Since Virulence already sends Poison (undocumented), you are better off saving the 25E of Chilbains and using the 0E Signet of Agony instead. It causes you to bleed, which you can transfer to an enemy and do the rest of the steps listed.
Grunge
My favorite thing to do with that skill, is to get my g/f to use her Ranger, focus the attention on me, get them up close, Epidemic, and Balthazar's Aura.
Cunning
Or if you are surrounded by warriors, then - Signet of Midnight + Epidemic.
Quiddler
i think changing the range to nearby foes greatly increases the goodness of the skill.
yuna of spira
check out the skill fevered dreams (mesmer skill) if you want larger area of effect. the skill is an elite, but makes it so much more useful in hoh or guild v guild.
PS- use ranger as primary if u want to be able to spread poison, dazed, crippled, etc to all other ppl....

I tested it today on a single mob (phantom pain's deep wound then epidemic), and it does not remove the conditions from the original mob, as is implied. This is good.
lishi
Someone know the range of nearby?

With an elementalist, would this work with mark of rodgort to keep a whole mob burning? I like!

Since "burning" is a negative condition I would say yes. I don't have an appropriate character on hand to test it, but yes, it should work.
Rajamic
It would spread the burning, but Epidemic only spreads conditions at the time of casting. So it wouldn't "Keep the entire group burning. For that, you'd want Fevered Dreams.
Rakj Grazon
will this duplicate the condition and spred it to several targets? if tahts the case imagine the healing range for victory is mine!

Sever Artery + Gash + Epidemic + Victory is Mine. This is a known combo used in W/Me solo farming. You can find the details here: http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/W/Me_Hydra_Slayer
