To admit though having played the game a bit more...

I almost NEVER use contamination. Decent ability but using it is basically asking to hurt your own allies.

Even the fire version, while more manageable, is just asking for trouble.

To admit though with hazard damages being lower (which I am sure will be balanced again later) it isn't AS big a deal... But there are better options if I don't want to murder my friends that do a LOT more damage.

If I want Contamination I have better options.... Fossil Strike, Fissure (I forgot the proper name), Magic Poison Arrow...

Or rather... Contamination needs either a rework or just needs to be accepted as a move that you will probably drop for better later on.
