Does someone figure out usefulness of Parasite skill or that skill is bugged?

What's effective use of that skill, fellow witches answer me pls?

Did someone tested that skill? Is it bugged or not? What you think?

my parasite skill is maxed and i tested it on commies. it sometimes do a little damage maybe the first one that blows up and that is it. -.- it doesn't do "search and destroy" thing they just wander around in the floor and disappear for some time.

Is skill effective in maybe some mid lvls range?

Hm how you take off aggro from your pet with Parasite skill? tell me

sometimes when theres 3-4 parasites spawned they explode on a mob and that mob will turn on me. but i still have to experiment on it to give you more information.

That's why created this topic abt Parasite skill. I wanna find real good use of skill or to state it with you rest witches that is bugged.

This skill is fun to use around people that haven't seen it before.

Freaks them out, WTH is THAT!
Reminds me of the first time someone got Blinded lol
"omg, i thought my monitor broke'

I was quite high in level before i got this skill, but farming affinity i don't find it very useful. Perhaps at lower levels its nice, but the refresh time is quite long.

At one point, a friend and i found that, if you had Self-Defense on a Rogue, the Parasites had a chance to find them and remove invisibility. I don't think they would do this if you only had PK-Mode enabled. In any case, last time I tested this it didn't work.

Have Fun : )

Honestly I thought it was bugged I would use it in hopes they would helping me kill zombies just a bit faster. The skill does do a bit of dmg but it seems they only attack what comes around them I tried to lure just one zombie to see if the 3-4 parasites would attack it but only 1 attacked and the rest stayed. It made me wonder/realize if they can only hit one mob then it must shift to another, if they aren't used they disappear... so honestly I think its a waste but I just maxed it for the sake of being maxed.

Parasite is mostly decorative without any reliable use.
Visible damage of parasite level 3 can be seen on mobs about level 50, later mobs won´t be very impressed.
Aside from having fun watching those little boom crawlers running around in weird directions, parasite explosions do count as attackskill with the known effects concerning level 100 zombies.
Also, parasite explosion damage doesn´t seem to stack up, so if two explode on an mob, only the first explosion - if any - will count.
Even succeeding in luring a mob on a "sleeping" parasite will not always result in an explosion and only few explosions will do damage.

Still fun to have it.

btw: please be careful in personal dungeons, there seem to be some weird however also strictly decorative consequences when parasites turn to enemies in personal dungeon number 4.
You might have 240 of 210 available mobs on your killcounter, if the bug happens too often there and you have to kill your parasites - without any real consequences for your rating though.
