Contagion
Contagion is a chaos spell that applies a chaos damage over time effect to all enemies in the area, and spreads itself when an enemy dies. Contagion interacts favourably with Essence Drain, a skill that deals heavy chaos damage over time and is spread by Contagion.
Skill functions and interactions
Modifiers to Spell Damage apply to this skill's Damage Over Time Effect: Modifiers to spell damage only affect the damage over time effect of Contagion granted by the gem and do not affect other sources of damage over time caused by the skill.
Essence Drain: When an enemy affected by both Contagion and Essence Drain dies, the resulting Contagion proc will spread both effects. This is a unique interaction. Contagion will not spread other damage over time effects.
Duration: Increases and reductions to duration function normally. The duration of Contagion and associated degeneration effects (Essence Drain) is not reset when spread to other enemies on death.
Area of Effect: Modifiers to area of effect affect both the skill radius and spread radius of Contagion. Modifiers to area damage (such as Concentrated Effect Support) do not apply.
On hit effects: Contagion does not hit, and therefore cannot activate the effects of supports such as Hextouch Support.
