Hungry Plague  

first thing i did when got this spell is zone into ct .
heres waht i found. this always spreads and spreads very fast... very reliable ae slow if you ever need.
mobs need to be about 2 full corpses apart for it to spread...

Invigor has this spell beat BEARLY... At least you didn't have to quest to get it.
I have this spell... If you don't have it, it can sound useful. Let me lay it down worthless seriously... All the AGGRO comes to you!!! Let's say you cast it on a mob and are kiting (farming stuff) well it jumps to something neutral/allied to you (not neutral/allied now) It's pissed at you... Don't believe me try it on the spiders in Lavastorm near the guards of wichever side is amiably/allied to you... You'll see... I've used this spell 2 times... Once in a group just to try it out... 40% slow that can jump to others (who immeadiatly treat it as if you cast slow on them -Oh if it fails yep counts as a failed slow MUCH MORE AGGRO...) If you don't get the picture well I can't help you there... In the End VS and BD/BN are far superior slows with alot less problems. I only finished off this spell arc helping others, since this spell is right up there with Invigorate and a notch below PURE SPIRIT (another wasted spell)

People missing the value of this spell. Think of any bad pull, or any trap type situation like in Uqua where 5 or 6 mobs come running at group or raid, and as a shaman you need to get the mobs slowed asap. You cast this spell on one mob and all mobs close to it are almost instantly slowed, with few resists as its disease based. And the best bit? The mobs continue to slow each other indefinately till they are dead or out of range of each other. Also the aggro seems a lot less than an AE slow like Tigrs because you are only casting on one mob. Its worth getting IMO.

P.S there are other uses too, like a fast mana-free slow in groups where puller is chain pulling.

This spell seems similar with the 68 chanter mez spell in effect, if so it is very usefull. The mez works by mezzing one target for a base 32 seconds, any mobs that move into it area of effect are then mezzed themselves. This effect then self perpetuates between the mobs in the area.
For example mob 1 is slowed, mobs 2 and 3 then come into area of effect and are slowed. After 1 min slow wears off mob 1 then if mob 2 or 3 is still alive they cast slow back on mob 1. This goes on forever.

this spell is gay as **** terroc was completly right about it. this just has a -50 disease. other than that this spell is cloud of grummus with a long recast time and more mana

give us something usefull, like a 5k heal, or a 2k dd common

Seriously, I don't know wtf SOE developers are thinking, but obviously too many shaman have beat thier twinks in PVP on Zek servers. Tehy hate shamans. The past few expansions have yielded mostly worthless spells for us. Shamans have lost thier offensive capabilities and the lvl 70 spell should have been a DoT and not a slow that has a long *** recast time, has a resist rate higher than it should be for such a "Special" new spell and in what situation would you waste the buff slot to have a spell that "MAY" spread to other nearby creatures. I personally have used it several times and not seen any benefit. Spell description as on scroll and when memmed "A hungry plague that will try to spread to other creatures nearby" or something to that extent.
