Can this build hold it's own in.a full chaos game?

No

Think so huh?

From my experience with my currrent walkthrough, it's pretty dependent on a mix of +skills/+poison dmg gear, similar to a novamancer. Similarly, you need a backup damage source as there's monsters you're just not gonna be able to touch with poison in hell (two waves of Throne Room to say the least). And of course necro has the advantage of having access to Lower Resist (charges of said curse on switch for Plague java are a must, in my experience). Plague Jav and Charged Strike both work quite nicely together. But yeah, in short, it does actually kinda work, but it's more of a niche/novelty sorta build.

P.S. guess you're referring to PvM

aren't the venom lords poison immune?

Other than the immunes yeah you can kill most enemies in 1-2 javelins, it's just much slower than lightning fury or charged strike

Any build can stay alive and slowly kill monsters and this omis one of them
Without gg gear its pretty bad



The full affects take so long its ridiculous

Hmm, well I've got 2/30 circ with 2x 5/-5 psn facets, jmod 4xpsn facet, bramble, trangs, and pretty typical jav zon gear everywhere else. Also have a lower resist wand and I'm contemplating on having a dweb on switch? Not sure how much that'd help. I suppose I'll just finish her and see how it goes. Either way it seems like a fun build.

Be sure to stock up on Harpoonist GCs (prolly goes without saying).

Depending on how much overall +skills you have, and how good your Bramble roll is, you may get more Plague damage with 3/20s instead of Trang’s.

I’ve not tried Death’s Web on switch, but from what I’ve read on the other DII forum, I think if you throw the jav and then switch before it lands, the -res applies.

iirc, psn javzon is the only char theoretically capable of killing p8 hell baal in one attack. Given proper setup and damage range.

but no, char is simply outclassed in speed and survivability by far too many builds to be considered viable.

I’d read somewhere that poison dagger nec can do it, too. Something to do with the way Venom (from Arach or Treachery) mechanic interacts with Poison Dagger damage.
