Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Suggestions and Feedback Contamination and Ignition are AWFUL skills.

I think Contamination and Ignition are fine in terms of their effect. Yeah they are scattershot and risky but not every skill needs to be fireball and fireball Jr.

The issue is more of a risk versus reward. It does pitiful damage to enemies and poses a risk to your allies.

Their benefit is that they hit ALL enemies within a large radius AND can combo off of extra surfaces for extra damage.

One issue with Contamination is it turns smoke into poison gas.
