LootCubePlague Javelin Amazon
A niche but effective build focusing on Plague Javelin's massive poison damage over time. The poison cloud lingers and stacks, melting everything that walks through it. Great for Cow Level and dense monster areas.
Play Style
Throw Plague Javelin into monster packs — the poison cloud lingers and kills as mobs walk through it. Throw and keep moving, let the DoT do the work. Use Lightning Fury for Poison Immunes and Charged Strike for bosses.
Pros
- +Massive poison DoT melts dense packs

- +Low gear requirements to start
Cons
