Trying out the mire crocodile faction

Everyone and their mother is immune to disease. No one gets sick in that place.

If you're gonna convert all the land around your temples into swamps, you'd better have a strong immune system!

[Melee Sniper]

I mean, the enemies. My inflict disease perk really isn't doing much. So far the list is ethereal, undead, elemental, construct. I might have missed some.

In that case, I'd suggest forging weapons or picking form traits that reduce the enemy's status resistance. Though I guess that would only apply while you're actually in combat.

Unfortunately they have flat immunity to disease, regardless of resistance. Although I think what you mean is blight damage, if so then yeah that list is also resistant to blight. Blight is only good against plants and celestials it seems.

Depends on the map setting a bit. If you play a map with lots of undead, it will be somewhat pointless for example. It's more useful on a map with lots of animals.

[Pantagruel]

The only unit types that are resistant to blight are undead, certain animals (spiders, plague serpents), and cultural units that have gotten resistance via the poisonous trait, the steel skin minor transform, or the wightborn major transform. Celestial, Fey, and Plant take extra effect; animals, constructs, dragons, ethereals, elementals, fey, fiends, and giants all have normal resistance. The problem is really with diseased and poisoned, because constructs, ethereals, elementals, and undead are all immune (the same list is also a problem with bleeding; by comparison, no large category of creature is immune to burning, decaying, or electrified).

Pretty sure a lot of Constructs are actually weak to lightning. Which is strange, because the Gold Touched transformation gives you lightning resistance.

Gold touched is +2 to all resistances, not specific to lightning. And steel skin which is also in materium (transformation) adds 2 defense but gives -2 lightning.

Blight damage and disease are the worst damage type and debuff in the game. I pretty much only spam the wolf spirit.
