<p><b>Pestilence Line</b>Pestilence deals disease damage over-time to a target. When that target dies, if pestilence was still active, it spreads to 2 nearby enemeies. Pestilence continues as long as there are nearby enemies and they are killed before its duration expires.Pestilence (65) -> Contagion (78 )</p><p>Either it's only me or the spell got changed, but it doesn't spread to 2 nearby enemies anymore, it only jumps to next one and doesn't hit 2 mobs when the first one died with the spell on him.</p>

I noticed that also. Last night in Kunzar I was aoe killing some blossoms and tigers. toss out pestilence and after first death i only saw it move to 1 target. The really odd part though is that earlier yesterday we were raiding and pestilence was spreading to two targets.. It almost makes me wonder if its bugged cause when the targets are linked it spreads to two when they are seperate it only went to 1.

One of the two enemies resisted the spread. Pestilence can be resisted, as can Contagion. Still works fine for me.. Sometimes an enemy simply bounces it.

hehe you know you have a point lol.  I didnt even think about that. no disease debuffs on non linked mobs so makes it easy for em to resist heh. I'll do some more looking into it though to make sure but your prolly right. hehe

Anyone know why when pestilence gets resisted the spell gem doesn't refresh like all other spells do? I wish they'd make it unresistable, I hate seeing it get resisted and still have to wait another minute to use it.

<p>If the Pestilence spread is only resisted by 1 mob but spreads to the second then strictly speaking it hasn't been resisted.</p><p>If it is resisted by the initial mob then it refreshes like everything else</p>

Each time I've casted pestilence on an NPC, and have the initial cast resisted, the spell gem reverts back to a 1 minute recast timer, rather than a decreased recast like all other spells.
