Notes

• Applies the  Plague Sending effect when entering shroud even if the necromancer is not suffering from conditions.
  • The effect does not have a duration, and lasts until the necromancer attacks while having a condition or leaves shroud.
    •   Death Shroud and   Reaper's Shroud can last for as long as there is enough life force, while   Desert Shroud lasts 6 seconds and   Sandstorm Shroud 3.5 seconds.
  • Attacking without having conditions will not consume the effect.
  • The effect is lost even if the attack misses due to  Blinded or is dodged.
