PlagueBreak and PVE?

Zama666

Hello,

I want to try out PlagueBreak. After farming it in PvP (and there was much dying) I want to test it out.

But - do NPCs cast cleanses like Purify or similar?

Good question, some NPC's will cleanse all negative effects when they move to a new position (Z'Maja, Bow Breaker, etc.), but AFAIK this doesn't activate Plaguebreak.

This set is still very useful in PvE, especially on trash where weaker enemies will die quickly and explode on the elites.

Thanks @WrathOfInnos !

Bummer it does trigger when NPCs cleanse....

I will practiced in the PVE world first!

If you want to impress your normal PUG RND group with your bomb healing or tanking skills, it is the best set in the game. Destroy entire rooms on impulse.

PlagueBreak is used in PvE for trash. For example trash setup in trials. It isn't about them using purifying. Principle is easy. Trash consist from elite trash, normal trash and weak trash.

By killing weak trash with PB you harm normal end elite trash and by killing normal trash you harming elite trash. Effectivity depend on tanks stacking skill.

This set is entirely useless in fight against one opponent and it isnt used in boss fights therfore.

I use plaguebreak and dark convergence with training trait to level up skills and chars in craglorn, normal dungeons and everywhere where i can get a couple of weak npc to explode. It is op and a big timesaver.

Just one NPC has to die, and all the others explode.

Plague + Dark Conv + Occult Overload + Proxy = trash melt in normal dungeons. Especially good on healer role. But current cooldown times for those sets are nasty. It will look like: one pack explode, the second will be missed because of cooldown.
