cats eye vs highlords is a large matter of preference
I end up teleporting much, much, much more than running- and the FRW on cats eye is counterproductive for str glitching your frw to desync (as its a requirementless amulet)
but some people run a lot and use teleport to get out of a jam, then maybe kates jizz-in-eye

how much damage does this do in actuality? how fast does it get a character with 75% poison resists with 4-4.5k life to 1 life?
82000 poison over 19.8 seconds depends on your opponents poison resists *and* poison length reduced
most people have 75% resist and -100% poison length reduced in hell
thats 4142.5 poison for 39.6 seconds
which comes out as 173 HP lost per second for 20 seconds (6835 hp total)
so it takes a full 20+ seconds to bring a 4000 hp 75 resist char down to 1 hp. Which is why you need to count on lightning furies, guided arrows, cs, etc.
Plague basically says that anyone it hits is going to reach 1 HP at some point in the duel since few builds go above 7000 hp (and dudus do not, cuz oak sage dies)
on one hand it can be tempting to simply teleport away and hide when your opponent gets poisoned. Maybe in some odd gm dueling rules this is allowed
but it really looks bm to me and fully justifies your opponent in simply teleporting to town.
More "GM" wise, when your opponent hits a plague he is likely to go on an all-out offensive blitz to try to stomp you before the poison finishes him
thats the point where you need to exploit his offensiveness and punish it. IE start hurting knockback furys against a bvc sidestepping, or wsg / arrow vs trappers, cs vs certain builds
also both L and NL loads of people neglect maxing their poison resist w/o treks, and its not uncommon to have a char have 45% resists due to anya glitch or even less- especially sorcs.
i can often kill an ES sorc in a single cloud before she even teleports off it (ie it deals her full hp in a fraction of a second and then hits her again fatally as it expands)
