Talk:Afflicted Soul Explosion

I ran into the middle of the afflicted and nuked them with PBAOE, I laughed when they all died... they laughed when they brought me with them76.26.189.65 19:05, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

I know what you mean, It destroys an undead army if you're not careful :D Byakko 10:13, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

With death penalty and an assassin this can be dangerous!!24.20.13.213 03:23, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

I started with factions, and gained what I have since learned is an unreasonable contempt for melee types because of this skill. I cannot imagine what Anet was thinking when they let it through playtest. - Club

Protective Spirit-able?

I was wondering if protective spirit would reduce damage caused by Soul Explosion? Byakko 23:53, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Why wouldn't it? It isn't life stealing... 71.127.159.233 23:36, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

"more armor (on struck foe), more damage"

Since when is more armor on yourself a bad thing, meaning more damage? I havent seen this effect on ANY other skill (but I might juist be blind) so is this wrong worded or a entirly different (sort of) skill the most? Niccy 14:30, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

That does seem illogical, not that we can always apply logic to all skills. Especially weird since the previous note states armor-ignoring damage, implying armor is not a factor. Funny to imagine the best way to survive a mob of afflicted would be to fight them naked! 76.30.79.54 08:16, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Related Skills

If Putrid Bile's a related skill, shouldn't Icy Veins be too? Or should Putrid Bile not be there at all? (Hex, degen for duration, not passive, but does damage on death). --Alex Eternal 16:49, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

All related are necro. I'm not sure if this changes that, however. One relative doesn't have to go with another. Eryops3 17:47, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Amount of Damage Caused

This depends on level, armor and if it's a boss (dmg wise), right? Well, let's say it's a lvl 20 non-boss assassin. How much dmg would this cause? Eryops3 17:45, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Dervishes

Gotta say, this skill really does a number on dervs. Taking out lower level afflicted generally drops my health significantly.
