ias doesnt affect the delay, its just like bliz. i found that plague javs were nice in lots of team duels but 1v1 was lil difficult. fun char though i must say.

Aceboomcoon, how much life do you have? I'm so used to having 3K life, and my calculations put me closer to 2.

'Dream' for a helm:

Resist, FHR, Life, Mana, and Holy Shock for the finishing hit.

How much life do you have, Aceboomcoon? My calculations put me at 2.5K at Lvl. 85, I was wondering about you.

VS MELEE PALADINS:

They are all the same. Smiters, zealots, chargers. Just keep your cloud between the two of you at all times. They get poisoned easily because they come right at you. For smiters and chargers, just stand still and light fury them to finish it. But for zealots, when they are poisoned, run away for a second or 2. Then come back and fury. Sometimes they are strong enough to zeal you to death before the poison gets them to 1 life. It can take less then a second if they get lucky with the hits. Especially with life tap triggered. But once they are at low life, they kill themself if they hit you. Don't EVER switch to a bow vs melee characters of any kind, especially melee paladins. That's a sure fire way to die.



You aint got a chance vs a smitter/charger. And i mean not even a single one chance to kill him. Maybe if the pally is talking on the phone. He ll charge up to u, ignoring the poison coz he wont care about the dmg and he ll change to smite to finish u off. I would really like to see how the hell u are gonna fire light fury when u are currently being smite lock? You will be dead 3 to 5 seconds right after the duel starts. Hell, i can do the same with my FOH pally lol, charge/smite and u are dead. And i only got one skill there.


No offence, it sounds like a good build but vs any pala that has smite and charge u have no chance. Even with one skill point on smite and charge you will still loose. He ll kill u faster than u will. Maybe if u use a die light facet to get a draw. That might work biggrin.gif

Good plague ama won't alow herself to get in that position.
First of all i wouldn't use bramble (damage is extreme but that's about it for the armor) as i wrote in my guide i would go for enigma.
if he goes through clouds he is doomed. There is a nice little trick that always works. Throw regular psn javelins and when oponent gets poisoned usually they go berserk (attack like mad) and they leave lot of spots for attack. then you launch plague and just run/tele away. then all you've got to do is keep one psn cloud between you and him because psn kills you if you're on 1.
And if opponent has negative resists (even -1) he will die from first cloud. so, low resist, first shot kills. high resists, 1 shot to get him on 1 and then defensive play and he's as good as dead. and agains EVERY smiter i dueled this way of fight worked. (although i don't have enigma now)

I made one in open to test his(her) +-88k damage vs a barb w 6k life (75 res, norm game, no psn reduce time)
from 1 plague, he lost about 3k life over 18.2 secs,.
So i needed 2 plagues and a fury to kill him, thats not the problem, its just that it took me about 40seconds to kill him.

I understand that in most pubbys most chars dont have 75 res, but still...
Im not interested in making a char that can only kill low res enemys..
Any1 having this problem too, or did I make a mistake?

Does your poison stack? I'm thinking it doesnt, forgot to test in open sad.gif
If u use deaths web on switch, will it have affect? (like the lacerator thing with bows)
