"The Afflicted are simply living creatures—animal, human, plant" Plant? Where are there Afflicted plants? (I'd remove it but I'm pretty sure someone is going to pull up a picture of an Afflicted Shrubbery or something.) HeWhoIsPale 18:32, 29 April 2007 (EDT)

Be bold, especially when you know you're right. :) --Dirigible 18:40, 29 April 2007 (EDT)

The afflictes get on my nerves when they die coz of their soul explosion, and they look DISGUSTING!!!--The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:82.4.232.23 (talk).

The afflicted are awesome. They come in large numbers and do decent damage, but also have little in the way of defences and tend to die in droves (especially the warriors when they start Frenzying). This makes for spectacular combats. Some of those Canthan quests and missions where you fight hordes of them are my favourites in GW. -- Hong 06:11, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Kirin

How are kirin's related? :o Koen 17:37, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

"These peaceful spirit monks have become corrupted by Shiro’s return, and will sometimes strike out at the living. Approach any Kirin with caution." Afflicted are owned by Shiro also. — Eloc 20:09, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Well I know, but I don't see links to Sickened, Shiro'ken, Bound (..name..), and the others things controlled by Shiro. Koen 08:21, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Oh. Well, add them? — Eloc 17:59, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Okay :p Koen 19:13, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Well I added them, but it just seems strange to have Kirin there.. I mean, they are not controlled by Shiro, 'just' corrupted. He can't command them, he can't let them fight for him. Ah well I'll leave it this way I guess.Koen 19:23, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Erased them, they just really arent related.. Koen 18:16, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

shouldn't it be written in the article that when they die they explode? =P78.20.153.111 11:30, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

The sickened transform into afflicted after a while (except those near the gardens and Estate). They are infected by the same thing. Eryops3 20:01, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] infobox - affiliation?

I would think the affiliation for the Afflicted is Afflicted, but most are affiliated to "Undead" like this one. But the Undead page does not mention the Afflicted at all. So which is it? --mira castillo 20:20, 11 December 2008 (UTC)


Are these guys undead? Does holy damage do more damage against them? --Stu 12:11, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

I'd believe they were undead if I saw it (I need just a tiny bit more evidence). The fact that they drop bones quite often is almost enough for me to call them undead. Wait...I saw some guys die and then transform into afflicted. They are undead!Eryops3 20:03, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] I'd love for there to be a...

afflicted style armor, like the plague born weapons. I know there's probably no chance of it, but wouldn't you like to have a plague-themed armor? 216.119.178.127 04:43, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

I know, but that would probably be necromancer only. Eryops3 20:04, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

This is our chance. Warriors get their own special armor, shouldn't every other class get a set like that? Plagueborn would fill the gap nicely for Necromancers. --Aldarik 06:00, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
Wow, I don't even remember making this post, was so many months ago. /that ip was me. personn5 06:02, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
I have a tendency to not check the date something was posted... --Aldarik 15:48, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Ugh, Skill Updates

Anyone else notice how buffed the afflicted are? Cantha HM used to be a breeze, now it's really difficult. I mean, RoJ, Enraged Smashed, AND they explode on you dealing 200 damage each? They still come out in ridiculously large numbers too. I think they need to be rebalanced so that you don't HAVE to run two sets of sabway/discordway to do Cantha HM (Even then, it's still 50/50).

[edit] Dead Space

Is it just me, or do these guys remind you of the Necromorphs from Dead Space? --Aldarik 15:49, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Late reply, but rather than start a new section I'll continue this one and say they remind me of the Flood from the Halo Series. Taros 03:06, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Undead?

Based on what? I think i know already :P - J.P.Talk 04:02, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
