Game Description
Touches your target with the hand of the plague, draining your target of life energy, siphoning between 720 and @1 damage.

How good is this spell? The obvious comparison would be to Deflux. I always have Deflux memmed if I'm soloing. When soloing harder content (summoning and unfearable mobs) it usually involves having pet tank and stepping in from time to time to "deflux-tank" i.e. spamming Deflux GCD-clicky.

Now "Touch" is nearly double the mana of Deflux but it drains (and nukes) for more than twice the amount. This is obviously a pretty good upgrade but is it "game changing" in any way? So for instance, you can use the "deflux tanking" method to solo the A4 halflings but A4 TwentyTwo will rip you to shreds. He hits a bit harder (only 180 up from 155) but he also has a significantly higher amount of HP. Would this spell shift the balance enough to make a mob like TwentyTwo doable? Or not? Are there any other sort of content you can think of where having this spell will be decisive?

People seem to be attempting to charge Torpor-level money for this spell and I'm just trying to work out how badly I should be wanting this [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I believe it's a Disease based Lifetap, rather than Magic.

Did that spell go in with Chardok 2.0?

I can't tell from the mumbo jumbo in the OP but this should be 100% identical to bond of death as far as mana and hp.

Bond of Death is 360mana for 720hp over Time.
Deflux is 198 mana for 315 hp immediately.

I guess the new one is more efficient than Deflux if thats the case.

If it's in that would be awesome.
I remember the Spell from live.

It's basically Touch of Night (lvl 59, so a DD) but disease based.

What i don't remember is the cast time and Manacost.
If the above is correct, this spell provides Necros with a huge DPS increase on short burns.
Of course you will go oom quite quick though.

Maybe i don't remember it as that upgrade, because i got it in Luclin-Era, when we already had more efficient Lifetaps? I can't say.

Deflux does 330dmg max.

If I'm soloing I'm not going to try dipping that low in life. If i'm grouping it's never going on the spellbar. Anyone charging topor like amounts have a stupidity level so high that only the potential buyer could possible exceed it.
