Diseased is a damage over time state that is usually applied by Medics, but can also be applied by certain locations (such as the Sarlacc at the Pit of Carkoon). Disease slowly reduces the total health pool, but its effects disappear once the state leaves. Because of the small effect and limited duration, most players regard disease as no threat and most Medics do not use disease attacks because others are more powerful and effective. Currently no weapons have disease DOT's. A Medic can cure this state with Cure Affliction.
