He isnt 100% devoted to plague. He uses a damage armor over a peace for example. But having that juicuy ga damage makes him way more of a threat in tvt.

Think of him as a bowa that uses plague instead of fury opposed to a plaguer than can shoot an arrow once or twice to finish


Oh i see now..! Nice build for sure btw

my heart voted A but my brain voted C

100 life = 5-6 hits of the dmg difference. so 100 more screen dmg = 17 pvp dmg.

trade off just seems too worth it especially on a char that farts on her javelins then throws them to poison opponents.



Not quite like that, like I said a few posts above with crit factored in its about 22 pvp dmg added per ga after soe also. And 114 life saves about 1 hit vs most lld attacks, not 5-6. I just noticed that I think you were saying the life = 5-6 times the pvp dmg gain which makes sense. I agree that 900 ga build is better but I don’t think the builds are very far apart! Gonna be fun using em both though

Don’t need to, both damage amounts have MDR associated with them, what is being added is purely +physical dmg from dex. Anyways going to stick with the original build thanks for input everyone

Yeah, old plauger builds were either strong in tvt or really bad depending on the matchups. Trevs build is a lot more flexible and can play offensively or defensively.

Not my build haha Andy and others used builds like this 10 years ago. I had no idea how to build them. When I built schala she had 600 ga dmg and used spirit shroud and rune dart and I was making threads asking if I should skill into fury on her lol. Definitely a learning process for me but Andy has said 900 ga/rest vita from the get go

Yeah, at the time when i quit D2 the plague meta was: all skills, no damage charms, upped rogues bow. Or no bow and wgs with w assigned to a mouse spin wheel. So i missed the evolution of the char into what it is now. I just saw the final product

Ya it's likely an extra hit of survivability, which outpaces a bit more ooomf on the GAs imo

I thought this was kind of funny, but one of my rationales for going higher ga dmg / lower life is that most of the time I’m just lazy and spam my attacks and run out of mana after 30 sec and am then useless for the rest of the tvt. So I figured may as well just go pure offensive stats with less life and then just die sooner since I’ll have no mana anyways haha. Basically instead of making an effort to conserve mana and do better, just get more dmg to spam and die. #T-Dawg Tactics
