'''Fake Ailment''' makes the Stalker feign a random status ailment on themselves. The condition is purely a disguise: it looks real to everyone, but it carries none of the usual penalties. Its only purpose is to prime [[Foul Play]], which converts each faked ailment into a genuine one on the victim.

== Overview ==

Casting Fake Ailment applies one randomly chosen fake condition to the Stalker for 10 seconds. The fake never slows, silences, poisons or otherwise hinders the caster in any way; it is a visual mask over the character. A Stalker can carry several different fakes at once by casting between the skill's short cooldowns, stacking up conditions to unload later.

== Mechanics ==

Each cast picks one of six fake ailments at random, each equally likely:

* Poison
* Confusion
* Curse
* Silence
* Freezing
* Burning

The fake lasts 10 seconds. Because the skill has only a 5-second cooldown, a Stalker can layer multiple different fakes before engaging. When [[Foul Play]] connects, every fake currently held is turned into its matching real ailment on the target and removed from the Stalker.

== Leveling ==

Fake Ailment has a single level.

! Level !! SP cost !! Cooldown !! Duration
|-
| 1 || 8 || 5 sec || 10 sec
|}

== Notes ==

* The fake conditions are cosmetic only. A Stalker under Fake Ailment can act normally, even if it appears to be Frozen, Silenced or Confused.
* Fake Ailment is the setup half of a two-part combo; see [[Foul Play]] for the payoff. Duplicate copies of the same fake do not stack, so spread across different conditions for the widest effect on the target.
