Epidemic

Epidemic
All negative conditions target foe suffers from are spread from target foe to nearby foes.

Here's my question now.. do the "negative conditions" apply to those like poison, bleeding, and crippled, or can they be considered spells also, such as Conjure Phantasm, Phantom Pain, and lets just say Empathy? I think it means just normal conditions, but one can hope

spells are no conditions.
you spread poisoned crippled deep_wound bleeding diseased weakened with epidemic

"Conditions" specifically refer to physical ailments, like bleeding, poison, deep wounds, disease, etc., and not to hexes, curses or enchantments - unless they create a condition when they are cast that can be spread.

For example, the Mesmer spell Phantom Pain causes negative health degen for 10 seconds, and when it stops (either naturally or by having the hex removed) creates a deep wound for a given period of time. If one casts Epidemic during the health degen phase of the spell, nothing happens; if one casts it after the deep wound kicks in, the deep wound is spread to any enemy in close proximity. Epidemic will not spread the Phantom Pain spell itself to others, only the condition created by it.

Moving this to Q&A forum.

Poison, Disease, Crippled, Bleeding, Blind, Burning, Dazed, Weakness, Deep Wound are the 9 official conditions and are what would be spread by epidemic. Hexes like Imagined Burden that mimic a condition i.e. cripple would not be spread. I am not sure if it is listed in Epidemic's description but, probably, like plague touch the remaining duration would be on all those spread conditions.. the timer wouldn't restart.

ahh i understand now, thanks!!

maybe a bit to late but its conditions poison bleeding blind etc...
