If I were to theme a character around Poison and/or Disease, what class and resource focus would best support that do you think. I'd play mostly PvE, but want to be able to survive PvP once in a while. Thanks!

    Disease isn't possible. Poison would be necro(high damage) & stamDK(high survivability). All stam focus ofc.

    Stam: dk, necro, nb, sorc... Really any Stam build.

    Poison weapon frontbar, disease glyph backbar.

    Use velidreth for monster set and defiler for one of the other sets. You'll spawn poison spheres and a spewing hunger with those two sets ;)

    Stamblades have 4 disease dmg abilities, stamcros have 3. The Affliction set does disease dmg. Swamp raider adds 400 wp dmg to disease abilities. Azeureblight is another set coming soon. Velidreth, Thurvokun, and Maarselok. Werewolves with Claws of Anguish.

    You can definitely make a disease themed build.

    Okay. 1 good ability 3 bad ones, and 2 okay sets doesn't make a real disease build. Tf.

    Bad ones? Relentless Focus, Killer's Blade and Incapacitating Strike are all top notch skills. Only one that won't be that good post nerf is Power Extraction and it will still be Steel Tornado+unique maim debuff.

    Incap is an ult and it is very bad thanks to QQ. Relentless is the one good one. KILLERS BLADES threshold is awful and for pve only. Extraction is actually pretty good now. Lol.

    Lol I guarentee I've played NB longer than you ever will AND I have a life. You aren't worth any more of my time after this comment. Have a nice night steering an inquiring theory crafter to utter failure and disappointment I guess.

    i have that basically and planned

    disease can be nightblade or necro (id go necro) with the azureblight reaper set that is upcomming from the new dungeons in august...as well as the bash-disease monster helmet or velidreth... there is also the affliction set but that seems more pvp focused

    poison i am doing on my dragon knight that i themed as a ninja type character that has a lot of poison abilities.... sets that can fit well are viper, plague slinger, poisonous serpent and deadly strike

    It has been said.

    Disease - stamina nightblade or necromancer.
    Poison - stamina dragonknight with a bow.

    Both quite doable. Both have several sets to pick the ones you like from.

    Thank you folks! That is very helpful. I'm surprised disease has as much a place as it does. What do you think about the play styles between (all stamina) disease nightblade & necro, and poison dragonknight? I've yet to play a stam necro. Magicka necro is ok. It may really come down to availability of gear. I like to craft my gear when possible and the sooner I can put the whole thing together the better.
