Sadly I've never managed to kill anyone off with bramble, it works if you hit a valk or something no? maybe a charger at 1 hp.. should try if I run across a charger someday.

RS > fire auras. but you gotta keep in mind that very few people are gonna bother with sorbing versus a poison char with one little aura item.

anyway, left out a very important gear option imo -- the cta mat bow! gives you a bow, plus no prebuff required.

dunno TOO much about poison javas since i haven't made one, so i can't comment too much on the rest.

nice guide

and unique char

What would you say to Rockstopper as a helmet instead of Valk Wing?

Also, how important is FRW?

for my experience, enigma is fine 'when' you need it, enigma was my main choice for pub setup due to the tele/frw + i had a low fcr bp, plague jav already does nutty dmg, bramble is best for barbs tho.

- CTA bow could be an option but you'd be 1 frame slower than with faith but that's not really a big deal, it'd be handy to BO. You just need to keep your distance since no FCR, fast opponents might kill you while you're at it. ;/

- Rockstopper is actually quite good, you'd be only trading +skills for dmg, FRW isn't that important but you want to be dodgin melee opponents while your poison is working on them and when you're faster they'll have to try harder to catch. (you'll be quite close to them, you walk almost//faster (frw sc's?) when they run so most won't feel like teleing on you).

- Enigma is ok for it's mod too (I just prefer res from coh forgot to mention enigma) I just dislike the time that the +skills from coh/eni add to poison, though with that speed most will probably go make out with Akara and call you a runner.

Bump, more comment's people, let's get it stickied.

Good Guide.

Questions..

Storm Shield v. Sanctuary..?

LF is much faster than Guided Arrow (outrun easily by fast chars/ tele)... use LF as a finisher?

If using LF as a finisher cta/spirit/lidless on switch?

a coupla things i'd like to help out with

enigma is a great armour, don't write it off, 45%frw is fantastic, not forgetting dr,life,str,2 sks

also playing 99%fastcast is great for vs hammerdins and bvc's so nab yourself a 2/20fc circ with 2 xfacets, trangs, spirit, arach and fc ring.

and..... 2ama/30frw 2 socks magic helm is better imo, lets you hit the 89%ias bp with your light bolts/ poi javs

and don't max fury, its a one pointer
max light bolt, which is much more effective for a plague ama as it doesn't get blocked, meaning a guarenteed last hitter.

edit... es sorcs or chars on 1 life that are hard to catch (desyncers) spam the area with poi javs, as the cloud WILL kill if they run through on 1 life.
